Not Working Correctly With Akai APC40 MIDI Controller about miditoobs HOT 4 CLOSED

I've read though the protocol documentation of your device and found out that the default midi mapping has the same control value for all the fader, with the difference beeing the midi channel which MIDItoOBS currently will ignore by design:

These knobs and switches will output on a different MIDI channel based on the current Track Selection (track 1 = MIDI channel 0, track 8 = MIDI channel 7, MASTER = MIDI channel 8)

It also doesn't seem to be possible to reconfigure the faders with some software from Akai.
So right now you won't be able to use them. I will look into what needs to be done to finally add support for midi channels though.
I will leave this open for now until there is a solution.

It would be really helpfull for me if you could join the discord at https://discord.gg/PCYQJwX and message me there so we can debug furter.

I have added midi channel handling now. Could you give it a try again?

Nice, I am using the APC20 MIDI Controller. And no it works perfect with the channel setting. Thanks

The APC20 can also be set to diffrent modes. Helpful if you want to get all Buttons just react to On/Off Keys and no Control Changes.
To change the mode you need to send a SysEx command once. For the APC20 and APC40 it is
F0 47 7F 7B 60 00 04 42 08 02 01 F7

I am using MIDI-OX for this, but it would be nice if there would be a possibility to configure a SysEx Message per device in the config.json that will be send to the device when the connection is established. Maybe this is a topic for its own Issue.

Glad that it works now.
I will put that other thing on my todo list. I plan on redoing the data model to support more advanced use anway sooner or later.
I'll close this for now.
