AkAi APC40 MK2 Controller Template

Hi all,
One of our users (Mamajuana) has kindly sent over a Controller Template for the Akai APC40 MK2. I've attached it to this post, so please feel free to download/import it into your copy of Control Surface Studio and try it out.
One thing to note with this template; I have been informed that for some reason the midi data for button 9-16 clashes with Encoders 11-18. Meaning that in order for the template to work, buttons 9-16 have been deleted.
I'm not sure what the reason for this is as I don't have an APC40 unit here to test myself. If you have this controller and want to try out, please let us know how it goes for you.
Thanks
John

Hey John. I have the same problem with my APC 40 mk1. You have to put the APC 40 into a mode for it to work. Mode 1 Mode 2 or Mode 0. You can do this with sysex. I would have to look for the code. (If you want it) for the APC MK2 it will be so. (I'm pretty sure about that.) But now I’m writing on my cell phone. Otherwise the tracks collide with each other. Mode was 2 on the APC 40.
APC40 (1st gen) F0 47 7F 73 60 00 04 41 08 01 01 F7
APC20 F0 47 7F 7B 60 00 04 41 08 02 01 F7
APC Key 25 F0 47 7F 27 60 00 04 41 08 02 01 F7
APC40 MK2 F0 47 7f 29 60 00 04 42 09 07 01 f7
Modes
0x40 Generic (Startup Default) Track select Radio- Channel Toggle
0x41 Ableton Live (LED Ring Remote Controlled) Momentary All
0x42 Alternate Ableton Live Momentary All
0x43 Note Mode (APC 20 only)
Notes Regarding Ableton Live Mode (Mode 1):
- All buttons are momentary buttons.
- Device control knobs and buttons are not banked within the APC40 Mk2.
- LED Rings around the knobs are controlled by the APC40 but can be updated by the Host.
- All other LEDs are controlled by the Host.
Notes Regarding Alternate Ableton Live Mode (Mode 2):
- All buttons are momentary buttons.
- Device control knobs and buttons are not banked within the APC40 Mk2.
- All LEDs are controlled by the Host.
Hi thanks a lot for posting this info.
While in these other modes on the APC, do all inputs have unique midi channel/type/value combinations?
Hey John.
I add the link for a diagram from the apc40. Otherwise I will create a table with all commands at the weekend if it is not enough. Please let me know if I should do it!
