Is it possible to map the delete key to the APC40?

Anyone know if its possible?

I don't have any of those. Is that the only way?

yes, you need something that will intercept the midi message of the APC40 (Bomes, midi pipe, control aid) and turn it into a keystroke or listen to the control surface (Max4Live) and do a similar job...

I've installed MIDI pipe. Any chance of a talkthrough how to map the delete key? Also, does this overwrite the automap functions of the APC40 or can they be used in conjuction together?

Thanks.

On Mac there is midiStroke – very useful little program:

Beware though, that "Delete" is a keystroke, which deletes what is currently marked as selected in the GUI – and this is not necessarily what you think is selected. E.g. if you have a clip selected and then launch a scene (even via a Control Surface), the whole scene is selected and when you hit "Delete" now, the whole scene gets deleted. But try it for yourself, it might work better for you.
