The faders and knobs are slightly weighted and feel superb. Each grid LED has 3 different colors with both solid and flashing modes. The messages were very easy to decode. Just to save some people a little time: Using the midiin/midiout objects: The top left button on the 5x8 clip control grid is 144 53 1, where 144-151 is the entire top horizontal row, 53-57 is the vertical row going down (the next row down in this case is 54), and 1 is the velocity. The bottom Clip Stop row is 52. The Velocities are as follows 1 - Green 2 - Green Flashing 3 - Red 4 - Red Flashing 5 - Orange 6 - Orange Flashing 7-127 Are all green. If you got this far the rest should be simple to decode.

That Ohm looks quite impressive as well, I can't wait to test one out.

Max patches aplenty are provided. Pete.

It is simple enough to figure out how to decode received messages from the APC in Max, but I am really curious how to send it messages as well, such as to access the clip launch buttons and be able to control them in a "Monome" type manner. Any suggestions as to how I could find out this sort of information? <table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText">meta_kid wrote on Sat, 30 May 2009 14:01</td></tr><tr><td class="quote">I have been working with my APC40 in preparation for Max4Live's release (whenever that will be). In the mean time I have stumbled up something that confused me. I plugged my APC40 in and fired up MidiOx, and noticed when going through the buttons/faders that the APC40 makes heavy use of both the Data1 and Data2 messages for each button combination. It does not seem like these are sysex/rtm/etc. messages, but multiple data inputs per CC/note on/note off events. My question is: How does max handle these types of data? Does midiin distinguish between the two? I have searched the forums/google/midi spec but have had no luck so far? Any help would be greatly appreciated. </td></tr></table> Midi confusion with APC40 http://cycling74.com/forums/topic.php?id=20355#post-106504 Sat, 30 May 2009 18:01:05 +0000 meta_kid 106504@http://cycling74.com/forums/ I have been working with my APC40 in preparation for Max4Live's release (whenever that will be).
