AKAI Pro APC Mini Mk 2 with Djay Pro on iPad

Hi! I was inspired by this thread and Evan Roth’s Traktor F1 mappings (see his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALGD37gAviw) to do something similar for the APC Mini Mk2. My midi map is designed to treat the Mini Mk2 as a standalone modular controller.

One thing I’ve noticed is that when I plug it in, it shows up as two devices (control and notes), and DJay sometimes gets confused as to which is which. I have a blank midi mapping I load for “notes”, and this one for “control” – it would be nice if DJay could figure out which one belongs to which mode.

Enjoy, and let me know if you find this useful!

Anybody know why some of the lights don’t appear to be active, after a shutdown/restart/unplug? - using a iPad Pro (M4)

The colors and midi out setting are the same but some light don’t return. I’ve had to change the min value and then back, but they don’t seem to be permanent. I just keep getting blank pads.

Any solutions?

I think so – it’s being read as two different devices, and there’s some kind of conflict between the “control” and “notes” modes. If you manually load a blank midi map for “notes”, the “control” settings should stick. (Unfortunately, you have to load that blank midi map every time.)

when using controllers… when ever a Djay pro based modifier is used, it will not return a midi-out response to a LED button
however if using a buttons in their default state(no modifiers) the LED buttons should respond to midi-out

if the hardware has its own internal modifiers, where midi CC/Note/PC numbers all change then your LEDs will respond to the new mapping, provided its not using a Djay Pro Modifier

hopefully you can make sense of what i mean!!
good fortune!
