I never heard before that having too many Midi assignements makes Midi controller use instable. What triggered it was mostly when I changed the selected track. More than that and just a few clicks led to the spinning beach ball and reinitializing the ports. (During use, not with Midi mapping activated!). With twice that it was already more stable, but it still happened every minute or so of clicking around wildly within Live. Then I started deleting the Midi mappings I had for the other controllers (which were NOT plugged in!).Īny sort of stability (not contant reinitalizing) was only reached once I was down to a total of about 60 midi assignments. I tried using it through the script, still constant initializing. Ok, further trouble shooting tells me that it must be a faulty unit, or the Midi of that device is VERY instable. It's like it constantly tries to find the script or something. Deleted all the assignments to channel 1 and the initializing still goes on and on and on. And in this case I never had any problems.Īnd they weren't even plugged in at the same time.īut is that something that leads to conflicts when two controllers utilize the same Midi channel? What's weird though, is that I had already used Midi channel 1 on the Launchpad (and the other controller) - again without overlapping CCs or notes. (Not the same notes/ccs though).Ĭould this be what's leading to these problems?! I have already used this channel on some other Midi controllers for other controls. Is this a known bug with the APC Mini or did I catch a faulty unit?!Īnyone know?! I would like to hear especially from people who tried it without the script. Plugging in my Launchpad causes no such thing. (And each time the spinning beach ball too) It just keeps initializing the Midi ports over and over and over, no matter if I'm in Midi mode or not.

#Windows 10 is a piece of shit software
You really shouldn't need extra software like M4L and Bomes to just use it as a dumb Midi controller though

When pressed a note on message and when released a note off message. The buttons always send a velocity of 127. The extra button column on the right: top to bottom The extra button row on the bottom left to right: The velocity values for the different lightings are: Pads: from left to right and lowest to highest row. So if anyone is interested here is the mapping. Say about Novation and Automap what you want, but at least they give you an editor and User Mode 2!) But if you don't have Bomes (or M4L) this is useless since the lights don't change (even to off) no matter what you do. So I will probably keep it and make a Bomes template for it. Regarding the mapping of the device, I found the different values for the lighting and pads. (Now I tested it again and it doesn't happen any more. The reinitiating of Midi ports happens all the time when I'm in Midi assign mode AND after I left it and use each assignement for the first time. (Shame on Ableton for not at least making one for Push!) Yeah the no editor thing seems to be the Akai/Ableton school of thought. I haven't had my hands on one yet, but it's got the Push scripting so it can be easily configured using max4live, i know this won't be the answer you're looking for but AKAI set a precedence with the APC40 that there is no editor. What do you mean by this Tom? I know i get resets of stuff when i move in and out of MIDI mapping and Macro Mapping modes. I really wanted this thing, as it'd fit very well with the needs I have atm, if it worked. They just stay on until I unplug the USB.Īkai's web site has nothing but promotional crap, the support doesn't link to any Midi specifications either.Īm I missing something big here, or is this controller as useless as it appears unless you use it with a script?! So I tried to use Bomes MT to trick the pads into changing the lighting and possibly the colors, but note off messages don't turn of the lights either.
#Windows 10 is a piece of shit download
The software for download is some crappy synth and some more loops and yet another time Live lite, but no Midi editor! So no help from there either. This makes it impossible to keep track of what is active and what is not. Once the pads are assigned to an on/off button, it switches the device on/off, but the lighting of the pads don't show you that, they stay lid in the same intensity. I just want it as a class compliant Midi controller without any script hand holding, only to assign the button matrix to on/off parameters and the faders to some continuous parameters.įirst: It seems whatever I try to assign, it constantly initializes midi ports WTF That's unusable But I have no use for any scripts, clip triggering or track faders etc. Just bought an APC Mini, because I have quite a few uses for the layout.
