    Hiya mate, do you have the issue when you try and move 3 or more faders at once? two move correctly and the third kind of skips and doesn't respond as expected?

    I don't think its a mapping issue as it does it with ableton to.

    It's not really an issue but I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced this.

    Secondly, do you have all the LED's working in this map?

    Jo3: I have the same issue. Haven't had it be a problem live yet, but I could see it being a drag. Definitely not a software issue.

    Thanks! I really feel that that video is a big improvement to my other video game videos. The other ones seemed to drag on too much both in length and pacing. I think I'm getting closer to the formula I need to achieve for my videos but I still need as much feedbacks as possible to reach that point.

    I'll let you know tonight.

    I have been unable to successfully map the LED output to this. It seems the buttons on the APC40 erase any state that I had already sent to it. So I can initialize the buttons to flash or be whatever color, but any subsequent pressing of these buttons erases the state and sends the buttons back into their default mode where they only light green when held. I can't get them to respond to any subsequent LED output commands I send to them.

    I'm thinking your TSI should clear up a few things for me.

    Hey Joey,

    Awesome map, best that I have found so far and close to what I wanted to do myself. I haven't figured all of the buttons yet, but will do over the next couple of days.

    Have you updated the mapping since posting this original thread?

    I'd like to solve the problem of only having the clip launch buttons lit when there is a loop loaded for that track.

    Cheers,
    Pete
