Hey guys,
I'm try to help a fellow traktor user and after a bit of time on it I don't find the solution.
On a apc40mk2, trying to map loops for 4 buttons (length values 2,4,8,16).
The mapping for loops should be ok, but I can't make the leds to work properly.
The intended behaviour should be as following:
- loop active off; leds should be green
- loop active on: the selected lenght/button should be red, all the others green.
Could someone pinpoint me in the right direction please, there's something I obviously missed.
Here's what I've done as an example for the two first buttons (loop 2 & 4)
First button
(in commands)
add in/deck command/loop/loop size select + set
learn the first button you'll use for a 2 beat loop
modifier condition is "is in active loop"/ deck A / set the value to 0
set it as a button/ direct
assignment deck A
direct set to value 2
add in/ deck command/loop/loop size selector
learn the button
modifier condition is "is in active loop/deck A/ set value to 1"
assignment deck A
direct set to value 2
add in/ deck common/loop/loop active on
learn the same first button
modifier condition is "is in active loop"/ deck A/ set the value to 1
set it as a button / direct
assignment deck A
set to value 0
add in/global/send monitor state
learn the same button
tick the invert option
Check now if setting a 2 beats loop works, on and off.
(out commands)
add out/deck common/loop/loop size selector
learn the button
modifier condition: is in active loop/deck A/set the value to 0
assignment deck A
untick the blend option.
duplicate that command 10 times so you have 11 (out) commands.
learn the button for all those out commands.
now in the following order of the command add those specifications both for led options, and modifier conditions (MC) "is in active loop" for deck A
0-0/21-21 (green when 1/32) mc=1
1-1/21-21 (green when 1/16) mc=1
2-2/21-21 (green when 1/8) mc=1
3-3/21-21 (green when 1/4) mc=1
4-4/21-21 (green when 1/2) mc=1
5-5/21-21 (green when 1) mc=1
6-6/5-5 (red when 2) mc=1
7-7/21-21 (green when 4) mc=1
8-8/21-21 (green when 8) mc=1
9-9/21-21 (green when 16) mc=1
10-10/21-21 (green when 32) mc=1
Create a new the output command deck common/loop/loop active on
Learn the button
Modifier condition is "is in active loop", deck A , =0
Set the led options to controller range 0-0 and midi range 21-21
Check "physically " by using your button on/off if it works and if the led behavior is correct.
Now to be sure, using your mouse, set loops on and off for different values. if everything is correct your button should be green all the time apart when it's an active 2 beat loop where it should be red (whether it has been activated either by using the button or mouse in the software).

Now we're going to do the same for your second button (4 beats loop). Please note that if you're comfortable enough you can just duplicate all the above commands and make the necessary adjustements. Howver I personnaly think here in this case it can be quickly confusing and opens room for mistake so I prefer to do it again fully.
Second button
(in commands)
add in/deck command/loop/loop size select + set
learn the second button you'll use for a 4 beat loop
modifier condition is "is in active loop"/ deck A / set the value to 0
set it as a button/ direct
assignment deck A
set to value 4
add in/ deck command/loop/loop size selector
learn the button
modifier condition is "is in active loop/deck A/ set value to 1"
assignment deck A
direct set to value 4
add in/ deck common/loop/loop active on
learn the same second button
modifier condition is "is in active loop"/ deck A/ set the value to 1
set it as a button / direct
assignment deck A
set to value 0
add in/global/send monitor state
learn the same button
tick the invert option
Check now if setting a 4 beats loop works, on and off.
(out commands)
add out/deck common/loop/loop size selector
learn the button
modifier condition: is in active loop/deck A/set the value to 0
assignment deck A
untick the blend option.
duplicate that command 10 times so you have 11 (out) commands.
learn the second button for all those out commands.
now in the following order of the command add those specifications both for led options, and modifier conditions (mc) "is in active loop" for deck A
0-0/21-21 (green when 1/32) mc=1
1-1/21-21 (green when 1/16) mc=1
2-2/21-21 (green when 1/8) mc=1
3-3/21-21 (green when 1/4) mc=1
4-4/21-21 (green when 1/2) mc=1
5-5/21-21 (green when 1) mc=1
6-6/21-21 (green when 2) mc=1
7-7/5-5 (red when 4) mc=1
8-8/21-21 (green when 8) mc=1
9-9/21-21 (green when 16) mc=1
10-10/21-21 (green when 32) mc=1
Create a new the output command deck common/loop/loop active on
Learn the button
Modifier condition is "is in active loop", deck A , =0
Set the led options to controller range 0-0 and midi range 21-21
Where am I wrong here?
The apc's buttons uses cc1 and notes.
If I understood the led ranges are: 21 for green and 5 for red.
Thanks in advance for any help.
