footswitch w/ APC40
footswitch w/ APC40 Posted on: 09.10.2011 by Brock Ricapito I need clarification on how the footswitches work with the APC40 in Ableton. are signals from the footswitch translated into a MIDI signal by the APC 40? if the footswitch were engaged in ableton, could it be mapped to a function like any knob or button could be? if not, would one have to use a translating program?I am considering buying a cheap sustain footpedal if i could use it for anything i like in ableton. thanks | |

| Lilliana Perris 11.10.2011 | I have attempted to use it in Traktor. Works a treat. Just need to figure out HOW i want it to work! I used it on the Loop Recorder....but still have bugs to iron out. |
| Dana Ordinario 10.10.2011 | Traktor. Well neither at the moment I'm in the process of redoing my setup and switching over to using the APC in Ableton for production as I just got CDJs for my Traktor setup. Let me know how it goes adding it in to your workflow. |
| Brock Ricapito 10.10.2011 | thanks a lot lads. Bartboy, do you use it for Traktor or Ableton? |
| Dana Ordinario 10.10.2011 | Yes it works just how you believe it does. I currently use one for a hands free shift button. |
| Kayce Mesia 10.10.2011 | Footswitch signals become MIDI through the APC40. They can be mapped like any other control through MIDI mapping. |
