Please Help...
I have blown the dust of old studio kit and I'm running it all from Ableton, using an APC40 to launching the midi parts in Ableton.
Great fun!!
Only one annoying thing so far...
The buttons on the APC40 will launch clips, the stop buttons work, the activator, solo and arm work too, but the APC40 volume fader won't control the overall volume or velocity of the midi track...
What am I missing here?
Is it something that Live and the APC40 can't do...?
Do I need to 're-route' the controller information from that fader?
Do I need to use MAX...?
I'm a bit stuck and would love some help please...
Thanks in advance...

Re: APC40 fader doesn't control volume of external midi device..
that sounds strange.
The APC40 should definitely control the volume of a Midi Track as long as it's showing a volume fader as the result of hosting an instrument or external instrument.
Make sure all your preferences are set up properly.
APC40 selected in the control surface, input/out put tabs.
APC40 Track and Remote are ticked for input.
It will not control the velocity though, not without using MIDI MAP and overriding the APC40's default behavior.
