Re: APC40 - Step Sequencer, Note Mode, 2nd Device Control, etc.

Thank you so much for this script. Ableton & Akai should really be kicking you a portion of every APC sold at this point.
I agree, this is long overdue, and Hanz should be compensated by Akai for not offering any kind of editor for the APC40. I mean really! The APC40 is the only controller I can think of that has no editing without 3rd party intervention.Matt_Quinn wrote:Thank you so much for this script.

I'll try to take a look at expanding the EQ/filter mode's range of operation.JuanSOLO wrote:I like the idea of using the Cutoff/EQ setting, I just wish I could use my own FX Racks.
Lastly, and stated previously I would love, LED feedback in Matrix User 8 mode.
Do you see a DIY APC40 editor as a possibility? Some way to make an interface almost like automap, that would generate custom scripts for users?
I've looked into this and at present it doesn't seem possible, without getting into virtual control surfaces, loop-back drivers, Bomes, M4L, etc. The hardware sends out notes, so that's what the script sees.flippo wrote:apart from adding CC's to the matrix customization! hehe
Is there a reason you need them disabled? They won't do anything at all, unless you press Send A, B or C while holding down Shift.next wrote:does anybody know how (if its possible) to disable the extra controls for the track controls?
Yes, you can use your matrix maps from APC40_22 with APC 64-40 (no changes to that part of the script).outershpongolia wrote:I edited the matrix maps on my previous APC40_22 script, could I just copy that into this one?
Oh, and any updates on limiting note mode velocities?
The step sequencer needs a MIDI clip to work with (even an empty one will do).locojohn wrote: The notes in the grid simply don't lid up when I press them and I don't hear any sound.
a) If I recall correctly, only the first 3 bands of EQ8 will get automapped in EQ mode. It does work however.locojohn wrote: a) EQ8 doesn't work - only EQ3 does.
b) EQ3 range for Low/Mid/High is extended to +6dB. Is it possible to make EQ operate only until 0 dB, perhaps, as an option? The reason is I don't want to clip the signal occasionally, and for obvious reasons one can't easily see where is 0.0dB by looking at the encoder knob.
c) Like someone else said, it would be amazing to have the possibility to use alternative EQ device instead of the built-in EQ/Filter, for example I prefer FabFilter Pro Q. Is that possible?
I've been trying to get familiar enough with the script for the past few days for just such a purpose. I think I could have something for you by Friday.Hanz_Petrov wrote:,

Agreed!maze23a wrote:Another vote here: Hanz for president!!
That he's always working on it and sharing it here for free
should al least end in a free ableton update and a free promo
version when akai comes with another apc version!
oh well, not to worry. thanks for looking into it, though. So far I've been able to achieve what I need by assigning the buttons to launch clips that send out CC data to midi-yoke. Not perfect but definitely workable!Hanz_Petrov wrote:I've looked into this and at present it doesn't seem possible, without getting into virtual control surfaces, loop-back drivers, Bomes, M4L, etc. The hardware sends out notes, so that's what the script sees.flippo wrote:apart from adding CC's to the matrix customization! hehe
I have a couple of uses for it in my setup that are probably novel enough to warrant a little interest, I will definitely let you know when I've recorded something!Hanz_Petrov wrote: PS: If anyone is up for it, I'd love to see a video that demonstrates what this script is capable of, for my blog (I'm more of a mechanic than a race car driver, so I don't mind leaving the driving to someone else - as long as we win the race...
Wishful thinkingoutershpongolia wrote:I think it'd be great if Ableton could put a redbox in the piano roll for this steq sequencer..
it would show you which 5 notes your 5 rows correspond to, and it would also change length as the quantize and clip size changed, that'd be sweet
