Change color of APC40 clip matrix border

Post by Soulingual » Mon Nov 09, 2009 11:01 pm

Hey, may be a stupid question, but the box showing what my APC40 is selecting on the computer screen has always been yellow for me, not the dark red which I feel most other ppl show, which is of course much easier to see. Is there a way to change the color that I haven't seen or read or why is it yellow and not red? It's not because my colors are all screwed up in general or anything. Thanks.

On your Preferences, on the MIDI SYNC tab, make the APC40 first or number 1 as your Control Surface.
Equipments: Softwares, hardwares, plastics and metal controllers, computers, headphones, a pair monitor speaker, and electricity to power them up.

Worked like a charm. Thanks man.

Also, word up to the post regarding the loop braces mapping to tap tempos. Works awesome.

The color of the apc40/launchpad clip matrix depends on the order you have your hardware in the midi sync control surface menu

1: red
2: gold
3: blue
4:green
5:pink
6:orange

peace
