Hi There

I would recommend checking this with Akai or referring to the controllers manual as I don't have this controller.

You can view the MIDI input and output messages by clicking the small arrow in the top right of the console window and selecting 'Show MIDI Data'.

Hi dkmuk,

Here is my Akai APC Mini profile: http://goo.gl/CKyzgo

Unzip the file and :
- put "APC Mini v1.csl2" in your <sunlite folder>/_Common/Console/
- Add content of the "_CCD" folder to your <sunlite folder>/_Common/Console/_CCD/
- Add content of the "_Background" folder to your <sunlite folder>/_Common/Console/_Background/

Launch Suite 2 and the console should be in the liste with feedback working.

Pad buttons are on/off buttons. When released they are green and activated they are blinking orange.

Feedback is disabled for faders as they are not motorized.

Regards,
Gael

Hi Gael

Are there problems with the default version? Is yours working better? If so, can we swap the old one for your version? We don't have a controller to test it with here.

Hi Simon,

I have designed my own "Apc Mini" because i bought it before the dylan version was included with sunlite.

In my version, all buttons and sliders are configured and sends correct midi messages. Feedback messages are also configured to use colors of buttons.
I think it's an enhanced version that allow users to use it quickly. Dylan has worked hard to improve midi and the next sunlite version will be very useful. :)
