THE APCi-400 EGE (MIDI MAPPERS ASSEMBLE)
THE APCi-400 EGE (MIDI MAPPERS ASSEMBLE) Posted on: 08.10.2012 by Sydney Krattli Hey Guys, I believe i have come up with a layout that utilises all of the capabilities of VCI 400 EGE within the APC40, but it is an incredibly large jobs to actually map it out. I was hoping there would be a large enough APC40 community on DJ tech tools that a collaborative effort could be made to turn this dream mapping into a reality. Features such as 'Slicer' and 'Grid' are waaaay beyond me, but fingers crossed there is someone who can do it. With this layout, there is room for: Slicer, Gratify, Cues, Grid ALL transport controls, Deck select for A/B or C/D The ability to change which side of the X fader each deck is Loop Size/4 Jog Fx select Faders 1 & 8 control Left and Right Jogwheel Fx, Record Arm shows that Fx are active, solo/cue button activates FX, Activator activates Vinyl. Individual FX 1&2 on and off buttons Tempo control for 4 decks (room for solo/cue button to light up when tempo is centered) Volume Control for 4 Decks Browse knob Constant Filter and high eq knobs and low kills (on the track control area) The Device control area is split into three functions EQ: Mids and Lows for each four decks Control of FX 1 &2: D/W Param 1, 2 & 3 each with on/off buttons Control of 2 Sample Decks: Play/mute buttons for each slot, with volume control (or filter control using shift) And x-fader, browse mode, the ability to zoom in and out of track waveform (hold deck button + zoom in/out), when shift is pressed the zoom in/out buttons become Snap and Quantize controls. All in all a very simple and cohesive layout, would love if anyone could help out. CHeers | |

| Kellie Myrum 10.10.2012 | 1. Map toggle modifier to this button you are talking about and add modifier conditions to X-fader. Condition 1= regular AB, condition 2=inverted BA. That one is cooler. Other would be to use X-fader assignment "left" and "right" commands. +1 |
| Brooks Habersetzer 11.10.2012 | For your cross fader you will use the assign left, and assign right command, set the decks to the side you want. Then for number two check out this link: http://community .djranking s.com/showthr...545#post347545 Post #7 is what you want to look at. Basically dedicate a different hold modifier to update leds when switching between pages using the knobs. |
| Sydney Krattli 10.10.2012 | hey stewe, the mapping process is underway and i was wondering if you knew if it was possible to midi map the decks you want onto each side of the cross fader. for example, press a button and the deck A button and deck A moves to the right side of the cross fader, and conversely press a separate button and the Deck A button and have it move to the left. Also, having mapped fx and eq's to the sample knobs, if i turn a fx knob all the way up, when i change back to eq mode and use the same knob it starts all the way up! is there any ways around this, such as a reset eq's to zero button each time i switch. If you find the time to get back to me, cheers. sorry if these are general knowledge questions, i am a complete novice at this. |
| Kellie Myrum 09.10.2012 | I never use those softwares since like idea to make mappings only by traktor. |
| Sydney Krattli 09.10.2012 | "multiple midi massages??" More advanced than i thought thanks for the reply though, have you used much third party mapping software. is it a killer to the stability of the mapping? |
| Kellie Myrum 09.10.2012 | Hi and welcome to community
, It's cool idea but also massive work. If you didn't know VCI400 EGE can send multiple midi massages at same time so slicer mode is easy mappable. That's something you can't do without in middle software you know. Everything else is easy mappable and hope some of APC users will meet your mapping request. |
