Proposed Akai APC40 Traktor Pro map

[immerse]

i just ordered an Akai APC40, and though I plan to use it with Ableton as intended, I'd like to also use it to control Trak Pro. Below is what I think a potential mapping could look like. I'm definitely open to suggestions. I plan to do any EQ-ing on my Xone92, which will solve the problem of not having enough knobs for the channel EQs (though I did include an EQ Kill for the focus deck) The background image is just the basic image I butchered out of the quickstart guide.

Well judging by the map you designed, I would say: "Map it to Traktor instead."

Luckily for Ableton this thing doesn't need any mapping. It comes with it's own version of Ableton 8 for the APC. The only mapping I'll have to do is for Traktor.

No, if I am correct it does not come with it's own Live8.

It comes with Live 7 LE and an update/grade kit for Live 7/8.

Like all mappings out of the box, you will want to edit it to your own tastes.

For sure, I plan on tweaking it a bit. It sure is simple enough to change stuff around.

As for the Ableton, it's my understanding that it comes with it's own full proprietary version of Ableton (actually called Ableton Live Akai Professional APC Edition) but if you're already an Ableton user, it includes an upgrade patch to enable the APC40 features.

Its a gimped version of Live 7 by the look of it! http://www.ableton.com/pages/2009/ap...mparison_chart

I was going to go for this but then sat and thought about how i would use it for DJing, in the end decided i would build my own midi box just how i wanted it, after about two months designing it im almost ready to get the face plate cut

Haha that sucks! Ok I suppose I'll just get Live 8 and patch it for the controller. Grats on the project, looking forward to seeing the end result!

Nice I am between this and a 25 key novation. I just sold my mpk49 today.

Bento how would you layout this device,to take advantage of Belvario's smart mixer and the traktor inputs with a firebox?
