Hello everybody. Happy to post my first message here, hoping that we'll find and answer.

So I have an Apc 40 that controls my first 8 tracks, then I bought a Nanokontro II to control the track 9 to 12 fo my mpc 1000.
The problem is that when I push a volume fader on the Nano, it automaticaly select the track of this fader. So imagine, when I push two faders, it's really messy, and mainly, when I use an Fx rack in one track and push a nanokontrol fader, it jump to this track.

I tried nearly everything in the preferences, concerning the trigger options, and no result.
If you have a solution, it would be very kind.

Nb: I work on windows 7.

I'm pretty sure it's because your Nanokontrol and your APC are using the same MIDI message to communicate their change. Live doesn't follow where messages come from, only what the messages are.

I understand you can't easily reprogram the APC40, but I believe the NanoKontrol has an editor you can use, so long as you aren't relying on some kind of script where the note/CC messages are fixed.

Hope this helps!

You mean that the two machines are on the same midi chanel? I could use the Korg Editor to configure the Nano, but I use a script...so I gonna ask the guy that made this script. Thans for your answer.

That's correct.

If you assign CC10 on channel 5 to a knob, then that knob will respond to CC10 on channel 5 no matter what remote controller is sending the message.

Some controllers such as the Launchpad (I think the APC does this too, not sure) send messages on more than one channel, so you have to watch out for that sometimes.
