APC40 MkII with Quickshow

Hi guys,

After some help please. Just bought an APC40 MkII and we are using quick show. Can it be mapped automatically via a software download or do you have to map it all manually.
 
QuickShow is not supposed to work with APC MKII. QuickShow has very basic MIDI functionality. If possible, I would recommend BEYOND Essentials. BEYOND has profile to MK and MKII.

Best Regards,
Alexey
 
Hi there, with a little help from bome's midi translator ( program ) you can map out the complete layout of the MKII for QS. Just tell QS that your midi device is Bomes, and start bome before QS..
 
Bome Help

Thought I Had the APC40 MKII working fine with the trial version of Bomes MT.. but cant get it to work properly once I paid for the full version.
The port routing settings are a little more advanced than the trial version but I think i'm pointing it in pretty much the same direction.

Midi Input>APC40 mkII
Midi Output>Bome MIDI Translator 1 Virtual Out?
Quickshow Midi in is set to Bome Midi Translator 1

Just want to assign pads on the controller to keystrokes really and use the live control and shortcuts for a few of the other commands.
basically laying the pads up in the order they are on the screen, having the 1 to 8 pads controlling the page tabs.
looking at the event monitor in Bomes.. I press a key on the controller and the midi light flashes but the keystroke out light doesn't flash to say its outputting a keystroke.

does anyone have a bmtp file already setup? does that file also set up the midi in/outs as well as the translations.
I've spent hours on this so far and not been able to work it out. first time i've ever tried using midi.
The only way I can get the Akai unit to trigger anything in quickshow is to midi route the controller to the virtual out but this is just passing it through, the same way quickshow would react if I told it that the control was the controller and not Bomes MT

I have a Boomes file for APC40, i dont know how to attach files here so i just copy and paste it. I don´t know if it works for you but i have used it a lot.
There is a new version of quickshow coming soon and i don´t know what difference the midi support will be.

I hope it works for you.

Will give it a try although for a gig we did at the weekend.. we just used a touchscreen!

So they've announced quickshow3 with Midi support for the Akai APC mini.. wish we'd known as the mini is around 200 pound cheaper and obviously no need to translate!
 
yes, looking forward to the update as well, got to see what the extended midi support will be like. I hope to get it to work better with the APC 40, don't think i want to buy a mini right now. I don´t earn much money on the system i have, more of a hobby nowadays :)
 
I'm made by myself a "APC80" of a APC20 and APC40. See here.
I use this combination tot control Freestyler and QS. For the midi mapping I use the paid version of Bome's Midi Translator Pro. With this i can controle all the buttons of QS.
 
Hello
Does QS 4 (latest version) have midi support for Akai APC40 MK2 yet or should i just invest in the Akai APC Mini? :)
 
Hi!
The Akai APC 40 was supported, but the MK II version only communicates with Beyond software. QS4 works only with Akai APC mini.
Greeting: István
 
All the midi controllers work with QuickShow and BEYOND. However QuickShow only has a native template embedded for the APC mini. Also, the APC40 (MKII) cannot be fully trained in QuickShow. For full midi functionality you will need to upgrade to BEYOND Essentials
 
Hi.
i bought an akai APC MKII
controller
Why can't Pangolin work with it ??
Or should I buy BEYOUND to work with a normal controller?
the mini version is very ridiculous!
Please correct this if possible thank you

Hi guys,

Click to expand...

Go to Midi settings and manually map whatever knob, fader or pad you want.
