APC40 Mapping Madness (Midi Fighter Style on APC40)

[Davemex]

That looks pretty epic!

My personal preference, which is honestly probably in the minority, would be to have more effects and less of the deck controls (pause, play, sync, EQ kills) on the APC. I'm already using a VCI-100 for the EQ knobs, transport controls, cross fader etc. with the APC being purchased primarily for sample buttons and effects (emphasis on effects).

Now, with that being said, the APC has so many freaking buttons that even with half of them being redundant, the 3.0 mapping was still pretty awesome.

This is just my opinion of course! I just want to re-iterate that I'm very grateful for your work on this so far as it has been an absolutely crucial piece of my setup.

I'm looking forward to see where this goes!

Hey your opinion is more then welcome! And for sure you're not an exception regarding the use of the APC40, as I mainly use it for FX and CUES either. But to make this more relevant for all users, and also to have some buttons close to the FX/CUE-action , I decided to add some buttons which indeed might be redundant.

And like you mention too; the APC40 has so many buttons, that having some redundant stuff in there isn't even a problem (although I might change it later into some usefull SAMPLE deck stuff !!)

Damn, can't wait to finalize the new TSI (need to work first )

you have pictures of the unit somewhere? Id like to see some high res pictures of it.
Do you have a up close video of the device in action?
thanks

Just Google it....its just an APC40 and APC20 put together.
If you check my youtube channel, you will see my latest vid on there where I used the APC40 and 20 together before they were modded.

Its just a vid of me playing at a gig....so not focused on the controller.

Holy crap, that's a lot of noise...

(nice to see that APC80 in action though!!)

Yeah....small handheld camcorder....in the middle of a TurboSound rig.....

It took a beating!

I shoudl have turned the mic volume down.....but alas...i was jamming!

The guy manning my camera....was using one for the first time too.....So a bit shoddy!

Hello guys, how are you?

I have spend some time in hospital (8 kidney stones) in the last weeks so I had much time to think/change/map a little bit on the apc40... Monday I go finally at home and no I don' t have the apc with me just my laptop

I have made a 4 decks (A-C B-D) mapping of the HouseQ (steph) .tsi (without Ableton alternative mode) with send monitor state (have seen some .tsi where it works and have changed it to our mapping) (no final test)


and now Traktor 2 is out (have it and I love the new features)

I will make a mapping like this

left side Deck A right side Sample Deck C

I think that would be really awsome....
but I must configure it and need some input "what you think / and what you need" from the new things

have a changable pdf mapping here template derders

all the buttons/knobs/faders that I have not labeled are the same as mine old mapping


I don't know where to put the filter/volume faders/knobs
perhapse on the FX Unit 1 or 2 Knobs with a double setting (switch)

that worries me the last days...(additionally why I can't try it out at the moment)

but when it works it would be the best controller mapping around there


need help....

the Device Control has CH1 - CH9 so I can setup 9 different settings to it
when I put on the Nudge -+ a modifier that change the layers I can have 81 Knobs
am I right with that? (not that I need so much knobs )

@ derders

Nice template!
did you enjoy working with it? anything to add to the functionality of them?

nice mapping btw
slot trigger? is that similar to cue on a normal deck?

I'm working on a apc 40 mapping too, I dont have the unit yet, but I will have it asap. hopefully with an APC20

I will post my tsi's after testing

@ derders

yes thanks for it Joost...good work! good that you ask
yes would be better to write under the knobs (not on it)
text colour in black is much better than red
and the milky view ? not the original better?

just some suggestions

@ derders
nice mapping btw

(the last is a concept for TP2)

@ derders slot trigger? is that similar to cue on a normal deck?

yes it is = to push it and by release it stops playing

Milky view, is for printing. Less color in the background makes the actual controls more easy to read, thats what they are all about.
The red text is because of the highlights. If you print the file, the highlights disappear, so the text wouldn't be visible.

I know they wont win a graphics design award. But they are real nice to use and enough work already like this:P

I'm glad you like them!
