Get rid of the blue hand ?
Hi
i am working with a band using an apc 40. Is there a way to get rid of the blue hand ? it's somehow confusing.
ideally it would be device specific.
As a workaround i drop an empty audio effect rack as the first device but that's not very elegant.
thanks !

If you're not using the instant mapping feature, can't you just disable it for all control surfaces in Live's MIDI preferences?
You can still do manual MIDI mapping without the instant mapping.

I think he still wants the clip launcher.
Actually, I think some of the hanz Petrov scripts had a functionality where you could change the function of each 'section' of the 40's controls. But I think it mostly only focused on faders and sends :/. I think he left device control completely alone
Another option might be a max device that completely grabs the apc?? It'd be interesting to have one that simply deactivates sections based on user input

Re: Get rid of the blue hand ?
The APC40 is a bit of a challenge to disable, it doesn't have the grab and release functionality of say the Push or the MKII...
It can be done though, you just need to be careful with the shift button though as it generally flushes the control surface and reintialises the controls...
I turn them off and then divert all 16 encoders to control different banks of parameters instead, that way the blue hand doesn't really matter....

Re: Get rid of the blue hand ?
I haven't an APC40, but I encountered this problem with an Arturia MiniLab. I'm assuming you just want the blue hand to disappear altogether and that you don't want to mince with scripts. Simple solution:
(1) Go to Live >Preferences and select the Link MIDI tab. In the MIDI section there are three columns headed 'Control Surface,' 'Input' and 'Output,' each with six boxes beneath it containing drop down arrows. Make sure your device is not selected in any of those boxes (if it is, you can replace it with the 'None' option).
(2) In the same Link MIDI tab there is a MIDI ports section with 'Track,' 'Sync' and 'Remote' buttons. Make sure both the track and remote buttons are activated for your device in that list, both against 'Input' and 'Output'.
I was using Live version 9.6.1.
