Hi all, couldn't find an actual controller forum so posted here. I need help with 2 things if possible.
I've set 2 of the faders on the controller to be my pitch sliders. Trouble is, they're working back to front. When i move the fader down it moves up on screen and vise versa. How do i fix this?
And secondly, I've set most of the settings i'd like on my apc 20 but i'm struggling to see how i can make the LED's light up. Firstly i'd like them lit up if they have a feature, secondly to flash if touched (in use).
Thanks all x

the hardware tech forum is more appropriate...
just put "param_invert &" infront of the action, eg.
param_invert & deck 1 pitch
the leds on the other hand are a bit more tricky... or I could just be on the wrong track... but I think you will need to set individual shifts for each of the pads to tell vdj when the pad is pressed down eg
pad 1 - deck 1 play & set 'play' while pressed
pad 1 led - var 'play' ? blink 250ms : deck 1 play ? on : off
pad 2 - deck 1 pause & set 'pause' while pressed
pad 2 led - var 'pause' ? blink 250ms : deck 1 pause ? on : off
so you need to repeat that for every button, led and action. It breaks down like this
pad - deck # action & set 'shiftname' while pressed
pad led - var 'shiftname' ? blink 250ms : deck # action ? on : off
you need to change the following to suit
# - for the deck number
'shiftname' - the shift you are setting to tell the led what to do while pressed
action - what the button will do

For working LED's, a proper controller definition and mapping file are required - Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript.html
Simple MIDI Wrapper does not support mapping LED's.
(There are user made definitions and mappers for the APC40, but not APC20 - http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/controllers.html?category=best&order=default&search=apc )
The following tool might also help: http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/image/virtualdj_tools_12994.jpg

Thanks alot for your replies guys.
I've setup just about everything i want now apart from the LED's - the link you gave me says nothing about this?
I'm on a mac though so can't download that tool @ Support Staff.

Hi all!
I've been looking everywhere for about 6months to find a way to make the leds work on the apc20.
Did anyone do it? Is there someone on the vdj forum able to make it work?
What would it take or how much would it take to make one of you tecchies to build a resource (mapper, definitions, etc.) for the ones of us that would love to get the apc20 working as easilly it works on traktor pro?
I am opened for offers of ppl who will develop it for me. Anyone interested for extra $?
Thanks.
