Yeah, there seems to be a problem that the buttons won't light up correctly after some time. Unplugging it and plugging it back in again makes them light up for a while more, but then they stop again.

It's weird because aside from the light, everything else is working fine.

We're looking into it...

Hello,

any news of that problem?

I have the same issue.. kind of annoying!

thanks

No, we're still looking into this.

Are you having the problem on Mac or PC or both?

Hey,

on mac.

I check with midi monitor, it seems there is the good output (note on for the new clip, note off for the old one), but no repercussion on the pac...

Hey guys.... is there any progress on this?

Light/Color feedback would be a huge asset here.

The problem is that the APC Mini somehow shuts down its light functionality when it simultaneously sends and receives the same midi value.

Our midi feedback occasionally sends out updates. For instance, when you select a layer and that layer has its opacity mapped to midi, Resolume will send out the midi values for the layer opacity. This way a motorized fader can for instance move to the correct value, and the lights on your APC40 knob dials know which value to indicate. This is pretty much the standard way how midi feedback works.

For some reason, the APC Mini doesn't like it when we send this midi data, while it's also sending this value itself. So if your changing a value with the fader, and Resolume sends this value back, the APC panics and stops updating its lights. It continues working just fine, it just stops updating its LEDS.

Since we don't do anything different than we do on every other controller out there, we consider this a problem that AKAI needs to fix.

Same problem here.

But when I then refresh midi inputs, Resolume crashes, and that is something that really can't happen live! Is there some workaround so I can get midi feedback again without Resolume crashing?

Refreshing the midi inputs is not going to help, because the Mini has crashed internally.

The only thing that works is power cycling the Mini.
