Anyone Want Cash to Map my APC40?
Posted on: 22.05.2011 by Eddie Maina
Here's the deal... I have a show June 11th... and a lot of things i have to do before then...

mapping my apc40 is an added amount of work i really can't afford to do (well, i probably could but it will eat up a few evening s with frustration) and I rather focus on writing music and promoting our party...

if anyone is down, please let me know... i can paypal you the cash... i need the mapping as soon as possible to work with...

here's what i would like to do with my apc... also i am in the usa... i am noting this because apparently different apc's have different midi messages... or at least there are 3 kinds of apcs out there...

please respond if you can get on this plus how much you would like for payment...

The DJTT maps are different in the way they do play with firmware changes that can't be done by the vast majority. Besides, they are a "bundle" with the controller, like the S4.

This no sharing attitude changed when I started frequenting this site but I still believe it's a "skill" worth learning.

Might be just be just me being retarded or giving priority to something most people find useless, but I'm comfortable with my position at the moment. I prefer teaching people how to fish.
i fully agree, it's cos it's bundled with controller (or FW update + overlay) that they're different. was jus sayin...

yeah. each controller is essentially a platform. and it becomes a challenge to prioritize which platforms to release on first. then possibly getting manufactures to loan devices for development periods.

yeah. i can see how that can be an issue. but maybe if it was approached like application design with a ux designer, programmer and beta testers it may be a streamlined work flow with expectations easily managed. but again, it would have to be work. so...

True, my mappings get so confusing/complicated it takes a while for ppl to work with them, while I know every button from the moment I'm finished mapping.

then again, I was making templates for my apc's more then a month before I got the actual unit

24.05.2011		I would have done it, if I'd seen it on time, I actually enjoy mapping. (I don't believe I'm the only one btw)
Breana Singerman
24.05.2011		There are so many mappings out there available for free that it wouldn't fly I'd say

23.05.2011		i'm really surprised no one was interested in working on this. i assumed there would be a market for paying for custom mappings. strange.
Eddie Maina
23.05.2011		ok ok... one big deep inhale later and a coffee... f it... mapping is complete... except i just realized i am using my 4 fx units already and have none left for the device control on the right other than that... all seems to work well so far... i'll post in a couple days after i run a set through it...
