Traktor APC-40 ( activator buttons )

since i'm using the apc in normal mode with traktor

the activator buttons i use em for selecting tracks and load em in decks
(1 2 3 & 4)

guess u all know that, when pushing em it works as a led on led off button
so what i wanted to do was make em stay on so that i got 4 green leds on

i used control "load selected"
-button: trigger / assignment (selected deck A...)
than also an outfunction : load selected
-assignment (selected deck)
MR 1/1 & CR 1/1

it didn't work this way so i added 2 send monitor state functions to it with both invert (makes the be turned on constant )

but when doing this the button doesn't act as the load track to a deck function anymore, (doesn't do anything) does any1 knows what the problem might be here ???

thnx in advance sincerly yann ^^

Bump

nobody ???

Hi dude,

right the ACTIVATOR, SOLO/CUE and RECORD ARM buttons on the APC do not need to be assigned an output for the LED's this creates midi feeedback confusion instead they send a message twice once for on and once for off so:

I found this out because i was trying to use 3 of them for the Preview load unload and seek functions no matter what i did invert blend etc it would flip round from only sending ma message when the light came on or when it went off, so load and unload worked only by pushing the button twice between each. Same for the Seek it had to be pushed twice to work.

So you need to send 2 ins from that same button and tick one of the in's as invert.

for me that meant selecting button interaction mode increase and invert ticked on 1 and not the other for Seek. for the load unload the correct one had to be inverted for it to be the off message i.e. preview unload inverted.

I was also trying to get the activator button to Audio Record on and off and the double push was driving me crazy. So 2 in's and one inverted and it works perfectly.

To recap add 'in' command twice for the same button and tick invert on the one you want to be the off function.

Hope that helps you out.
