Post by RoyalColours » Tue May 28, 2013 4:51 am

Hey guys everytime i launch a clip, it does not light up. when i turn on my apc40 the only ones that light up are the knobs and buttons from the track control section. Help? already tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I'd suggest downloading a MIDI monitor to see if the APC40 is sending messages across...

That is prior to returning it to the shop you bought it from!

downloaded midiox and looks like the apc40 isnt popping up... it should automatically detect it once i open up the input monitor right?
