or not.... man these leds are crazy! why doesn't NI have better doc's on this!!!? i started mapping my new findings to my deck a cuepoint buttons after 3 i decided to check if they were really working. yes, but no. and it's so weird its gonna be pretty hard to describe. maybe i can post a video... idk
@de4ek
You know that the APC40 needs to be in some other 'mode' don't you? Your problems sound like normal APC40 behaviour (=LEDs go off after clicking on it).
Did you try to
1) Power on your APC40
2) Go to Ableton Live (wait for the red box)
3) Close Ableton
4) Go to Traktor
Now your TSI will definitely behave totally different.. Did you try this already?
What is this mysterious red box...I've opened Ableton and have no clue what to look for (rarely use it as it's APC edition)
ty
It's more a red rectangle,
See: http://www.production-room.com/gfx/p...-apc40---2.jpg
(check out the red border rectangle on the top right around those clips)
This box is shown as default after installing the Ableton APC edition. You can turn it on/off in the MIDI setting, I guess it must be on to make sure this 4-steps-into-dumb-mode process works).
I already made a short movie-clip on this, but need to upload it to youtube first (maybe tonight).
@Buzz
Checked out your .tsi, thank you for sending it! GOOD STUFF!
The main reason I checked it out was to see how you got the LED rings to work, because every time I tried to assign the OUT in a Pan or Volume style, the encoders wouldn't work. For example, if I assigned filter to a knob/encoder, then assigned an OUT to that same knob/encoder, the filter would stay stationary in Traktor along with the LED position on the encoder, rendering it useless. Im not sure if I was doing anything wrong or if it was a limitation of the APC40.
But I checked your file and hats off to you for the way you did it. I wasn't aware that each encoder has multiple CC notes on one channel. You assigned a filter for one encoder, such as Ch.01 CC 48, and then for the LED OUT, you would assign that same physical encoder an OUT but it would have a different CC note, for instance Ch.01 CC 56, and they wouldn't conflict. How did you figure that out?
And also it would be very helpful if someone could explain the different modes of the APC40 (Native, Dumb, etc) and their differences?
THANKS! Ill post my APC40 mapping soon!
@ Timmio
right on right on...thanks mate! :D
@Space
You're welcome :D
@theJetRodriguez
Note that LED rings always are +8 notes higher. So if you map the control to CC40, the LED is connected to CC48, Also I guess there is no control who uses CC48. So just remember, when playing with LEDS on the CC-note side always add 8 to the number.Quote:

Experiment with all of the three "states" of the APC40: "Native" (red box) mode (Turn on APC, Start up Live, select APC as control surface). Non-native mode (don't turn on Live, or don't use APC as control surface in Live). And "Dumb" mode (Get the red box in Live, then quit Live). Each state does different things with midi and led feedback.
I'm almost done with some awesome remapping my APC using various advanced filter modes (stolen from the great guy who developed the midi fighter TSI, I borrowed their advanced filter handling :))
WIll post a movie soon :)
edit: Check out my mini movie on setting the dumb-mode:

I am relay glad to know that you like my mapping, and that you can use it in your work.
I figured out almost everything... apc mods, in and out midi messages from TP, but only one thing is still problem. How to make traktor sending state of the knob, for exapmle to send state of filter knob to apc...
When I map filter on CH1 CC48, send pan style message to apc knob CH1 CC56, and try to send filter state to led ring CH1 CC48, it is working but not correctly. Knob get stucking and not working correctly.
Any one make this working???
Buzz,
Did you map the values correctly?
01=single style
02=all leds
03=pan style
(again Zac is the real Hero expert in this, check his post: http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/sho...d.php?p=110454)
Yes, i mapped it correctly and it is ok. But, when i trying to send state of the filter or some other knob inside traktor to APC, there is problem.
I did not gave correct example.
Let say that i want to send 3 eq state for every of 4 decks to only 3 knobs on APC.
when i select deck A on apc should show state of deck eq. then when i select deck B, on same knobs to show state of deck B eq.
sorry my english is bad :D
