Loop Mapping / APC40 / LED Help?

Hi Everyone,

So I started playing around with mapping my apc40 for traktor but i continue to run into a wall with a few items, for now i'll ask about the one main issue...

How do I map auto-loop points to buttons and have the led behave as follow:
off=green
activated=blinking green in sync (or at least blinking green)

I have searched the forums, the web and anywhere else i could and i have not found a solution - except one, which was a bit overly complicated for what I want to accomplish. So, maybe someone out there has an idea?

Thanks in advance!

i have to admit, this is a bit ridiculous. i have all kinds of stuff mapped and i can't get the right feedback... so nuts. must take a break.

The LEDs on the APC40 can be set to different states by putting in a value of 1-127 in the MIDI range section. You want to Add In... and select the function you have it assigned to, then look at the corresponding Out to see what the note is, for example Ch06.Note.A3 would correspond to the button fifth column, fifth row. For solid green and flashing green, you would want to put 2 for the Min MIDI range, and 127 for the Max MIDI range.
Hope this helps, rather than confusing you more.

i thought apc worked off of 0-7 for the range of available states?

Nah brah.

Not for me at least. When in doubt, RTFM ;)

according to the manual...
0=off, 1=green, 2=green blink, 3=red, 4=red blink, 5=yellow, 6=yellow blink, 7-127=green

Exactly.

haha... that's 0-7 as i previously mentioned :p

anyone have any ideas? i tried all kinds of different OUTs within the loops drop down and i can only get one state to operate at a time - either it's blinking when on or blinking when off. There is no solid green on off and blinking on active.

Surely there must be a solution, no?

bump. it's now day 3 as i attempt to map these damn loop buttons. if there is a mapping god out there - please make it rain!
