Akai APC 40 Mk2 Controller Template

Hi,

this is my Akai APC 40 Mk2 controller template.
It needs to get a sysex command on initialize to go into the right mode. Script with this action is attached.

I added some colors that i thought be needed. The APC 40 Mk2 does its brightness levels/pulsing/blinking over additional midi values sent to the controller. This behaviour cant be implemented easily at the moment with the current CSS state. So its not very many colors.

All controls work including the footswitch.

The other templates in the forum have the problem of not setting the APC in the right mode, so a complete row of buttons wont work. This templates solves this.

Feedback is very welcome. If there would be a way to implement this template into CSS, including the custom script for the mode, it would be very beautiful.

Hello there

I’m a bit confused can someone explains to me what the systex messages do?

And if someone is willing to share their script (not the templaate but the script) for APC40 mk2 it would be nice so we can collectively build something together. I’ve started to emulate the session box move but much more stuff to do…

Thanks !
