Title: Custom MIDI-Map for Akai APCmini
Post by: Zoë Castle on June 26, 2015, 08:38:30 AM
Our long standing customer Rainer from FEIMEX GmbH has created a customized Version of our Akai APCmini MIDI-Map (see attachment) for his DJ-Friends.
"The Buttons over the Faders (in your solution GO-Buttons) are now Flash-Buttons. They always use the Fader with "on-Fader-start“ so this was a wish.
And I used there LED-Feedback to let me see in which Fader-Bank I am."

Now you can use Cuelux in Background of your DJ-Software and always have a Overview of the Light-Show.

Thanks Rainer for sharing  :)

Greetings Zoe

Great work by Rainer who received by his friends in Hamburg the title of a "Cuefux" ("Fuchs" is the german word for "Fox";-)

Is there any chance someone would be willing to modify this custom mapping to have 3 changes made? I have attached a .Jpeg with the changes marked in red. It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Cuelux does not recognize this file, but it recognized the previous version. I was putting them in the Midimaps\User folder. Is it possible there is an issue with the file?

Thanks!!

Now what can this file do ?
Bank 1 only ? or … ?
I'd welcome it if the name of the zip at least could include a custom name / hint
Thank you

There appears to be an issue with the 8 playback faders and 8 flash buttons now that I have upgraded to 1.3.96 but it works fine on 1.3.94. Any ideas for a quick fix?

Thank you!
Title: Re: Custom MIDI-Map for Akai APCmini
Post by: Julien Levaufre on May 02, 2017, 08:25:35 AM
can you give me more details about what is going wrong now?
I am using the same midimap on 1.3.96 and i did not notice any problem...
Title: Re: Custom MIDI-Map for Akai APCmini
Post by: MylesAway on May 04, 2017, 01:43:10 AM
When I use the custom map for the APC on 1.3.96 none of the bottom faders work with the exception of the Master on the far right, the Small buttons above the faders were also supposed to be flash buttons for those scenes and they don't work, they do however indicate what bank I am on, there is no function when I press them to use as flash.

Thanks!

i think you saved your previous custom midifile in the factory folder instead of the user folder so it gets erased when you updated cuelux.
Just download again the midimap file and save it in the user folder, then in the midimap list of cuelux you will find your midi controller name with [user] in front of it, and this way it won't be erase with the next update.

I had the custom map in the user folder and also had the [user] map selected, when I use the custom map I cannot move the playback faders, as soon as I switch to the factory map it works but none of the custom mapping is available. When I switch back to 1.3.94 everything works flawlessly. I have also tested this on 2 different Macs.

How to assign / create flash function for the 64 buttons above the go / flash buttons ?
Or better, how to create individual flash functions for each of the 64 button ( instead off go functions )
I need instant release / off !
Thanks and best regards

Myles,
I get your mail, sorry for the delay i still have to get a look into it.
Klaus
To directly get flash buttons from your midi controller you can just change in the midi map file the key word " ButtonSecundair" to "ButtonPrimair" for each of the 64 buttons of your midi controller.
you can find the detail here:

Title: Re: Custom MIDI-Map for Akai APCmini
Post by: Julien Levaufre on November 19, 2017, 04:09:11 PM
the midimap for the akai apc mini is already included in the cuelux last release.
If you want the custom one made in this post, you shoudl be able to find it from the posts.

hi there,

I use cueluxpro and have a akai APC mini.
latest firmware 1.4.31 .

when i use the original akai.xml file from the downloaded cueluxpro the my faders and the round buttons work fine.
but when i use the modified akai.xml so the square buttons can be used for the button banks
tried to put the file in user folder and in the original folder map.

Hello @yvosound,

This version of Akai APC MINI is for Cuelux not CueluxPro.
