..or you could use our easyremote app. The current versions sends the console straight to the ipad, the next release in August will allow you to add color wheels, pan tilt grids and custom labels with text...and it's free.

Ok, I´ve made it !

I have used a midi translator to bring the APC from the Generic mode into the Ableton Live Mode and TATAAAA!:
The Led´s do not switch off after releasing the clip launch buttons !

BUT:
The Bank selector for the encoders does not work anymore. But I think I can live with that at the moment.

Regarding the Dumping the following midi message must be send to the APC:

F0 47 00 73 60 00 04 XX 08 01 01 F7

XX must be replaced with:

40 for Generic
41 for Ableton Live Mode (This one worked for us)
42 for Alternate Ableton Live Mode

Of course several changes must be made on the midi setup in Sunlite2 in order that the LED´s provide the desired Feedback and/or color.

Oliver

Hi Oclaus,

could you explain me how you send this midi hex data to the apc40? I tried to download the Bome Midi Translator Pro but I don't know to use it.
I think that Nicolaudie could implement this hex string dump in Sunlite directly.

Thank you!

Akai APC40 is the best midi controller on the planet, please buy it!

hmpfff......... ugly :-)

APC is the best...
Behringer is the best...
M-Audio is the best ...
Livid is the best...
My LaserHarp MidiController is the best ;-)

you will always find people who think "their own Controller is the best" .....

Well we made the LED feedback on the apc 40 working by sending the following midi sysex command, before starting sunlite:

F0 47 00 73 60 00 04 41 08 01 01 F7

This command can be sent with bome´s midi translator (demo version)

We programmed the translator, that it sends the mentioned command back to the apc while you press one of the buttons of the APC.
(This is explained in detail at the translators manual)
After that we start sunlite and voilá ! >>The feedback is programmable with the respective settings in the midi setup window for every button...

Please consider, that at the moment when the APC looses power it returns to the standard midi mode and the procedure must be repeated.

Until know we did not figure out a way to program sunlite in order to send this command.
But to be honest:
This should be with the developers...

Cheers,
O.
