Mapping the APC40mk1 for Tixl
The first thing we need to start with is identifying the key elements we will need to complete a full midi mapping for the APC40mk1 in Tixl.
The basic elements needed:
- Proper midi initialization (DONE)
- Button feedback (DONE)
- Potentiometer feedback
- Shift functionality
We will break this down even further:
Buttons
- Momentary buttons (When button is pressed down for a duration)
- Trigger buttons (Sends a single positive value when pressed)
- Toggle buttons (Toggles between on/off states, to activate/deactivate scenes etc)
Potentiometer
- Normal pot (0-127 midi value, displays current value)
- Centered pot (0-127 value, 63 as center, displays between center current value) *not sure if this is possible yet
Shift functionality
- This will require a secondary layer of functionality, when pressing the shift button, inputs will be handled separately
