I’ve worked with videos before, but have never manipulated videos through a controller, sequencer or MIDI keyboard. I’m very new to this. I’m curious as to what the first step is: how do I read a controller or device through Max? I’m working with an Akai APC20 controller and I can’t seem to make the first step work. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!

You can also have a look at [bendin], [notein] or program changes…

It’s not about the APC40 specifically, but the general lessons apply.
