The Akai APC20 also has the Note mode functionality (not the APC40 MK1 or MK2).

Have you changed the behavior of this button on the latest version (v3)? The shift button is now to switch between BPM and Speedfader mode.The old APC40 MK1 can use Shift-Bank Button.
Shift+ Bank1 = Bank 6
In fact about APC40 MK1! And nice to know about potentially new hardcoded hardware to be supported.In my Eyes the old APC40 MK1 ist a very stable Device to contoll, better than the new "Plasticboxes" . I always look the other Midi Devices in a Price Range up to 300€ to support them as hardcoded Version.
Not really for the APC Mini MK2 (not MK1). By choosing Midi - In Device 2 in LIVE with "MIDIIN2 (APC mini mk2)" instead of "APC mini mk2" it's possible to map other functions like any other MIDI controller. To do this, you need to switch the MK2 to "Note Mode" by holding Shift and press the seventh Scene Launch Button (Note).The TeachIn is only for "no Akai Devices". Theese ones also have no LED Feedback.

Hi Thank for your feedback.
in this case, in next version, will we be able to organize some scenes or bank ? For example, move bank 7 to bank 3 ?
At this time, we can move a scene by copy / past in scene windows but it is not easy.
Could you modify both "nudge+" and "nudge- " assignments in the Live module in next version?
Theses keys increase or decrease BPM but the two keys are unversed.
but in general the affection is fine.
Regards
Samuel

Hi Samuel,
alle hard-coded Akai Devices will not use the TeachIn. To switch Banks you need to know that we plan to add more than the 10 Banks which exists now. This Time i also have no good Idea how to Switch Banks with the APC Series if there are more then 10. Maybe you or an othe one has one ? The old APC40 MK1 can use Shift-Bank Button.
Shift+ Bank1 = Bank 6
In my Eyes the old APC40 MK1 ist a very stable Device to contoll, better than the new "Plasticboxes" . I always look the other Midi Devices in a Price Range up to 300€ to support them as hardcoded Version.

We are still working on the Software but because of some greater Changes the next update will still need Time because a Change of the Fileformat. Older Showfiles will be converted by the new Version.

Hi,
I am testing APC40MKII on Live. button assignment is well.
To change the bank scene, there are 6 " scene launch" buttons on APC40. It's good for banks between 1 to 6. But I can not access bank numbers between 6 to 10.
It is possible to switch banks with APC bank select but this method is too slow when you want to switch bank 1 to bank 6. Intensity light of the bank button is not the same when we are on banks between 1-5 and between 6-10 therefore, l'APC knows when we switch on two banks categories.
Do you know how we can select all of the banks ?
In the Midi Mapping windows , messages and new touch affectation is not done. Is this window active ?
