Objects for controlling the AKAI APC KEY 25

#1

Dear all, I've developed some objects to use the colored pad matrix of this tiny midi controller. If anybody is interested I'd be happy to share them

#2

of course, we are interested.
especially because with modifications they might be suitable for use with something else too

Here's a short sample video, with the standard karplus_strong patch from the examples modified with the APC visualization objects.

The APC KEY 25 is a cheap MIDI controller providing a small velocity sensitive keyboard, 8 rotary knobs, a 8x5 pad matrix supporting green, yellow and red color, plus a bunch of other buttons.

So far I've made 5 objects: two meters (horizontal and vertical) to visualize signals, two objects to use a pad button as switcher or gate and a generic object acting as a "pixel" for the matrix (inputs: x,y,color).

... and here are the objects:

apc25 hmeter.axo (2.4 KB)
apc25-button.axo (3.6 KB)
apc25-button-momentary.axo (2.8 KB)

enjoy!

Hi I am not using the Axoloti IDE since then so I forgot almost everything. In Preferences you should be able to find the path of your local folder. That's where to put custom .axo files I guess
