I have re-mapped my Akai LPD8 to do wonderful things...Its my first try at mapping and its helped me to make my controller extremely useful for my needs!

Can anyone help me though with 2 things:

1 Say for instance I change programme bank and change the volume of a sample. I then change programme bank again and use the same knob to say control the gain of a deck...The gain will immediately jump to wherever the knob is which is a bit of a pain.

2 Is there an easy way to tell the LPD8 to stay lit up if a sample is playing or a pad is in use

Offtopic.HorsSujet!

sorry can not help you with your orignal posting ,, interested in the akai lp8 ,, and using to control the samplers ,, mainly using the rotary knobs to control the gain on the samples ie fading out vid samples in the top 4 banks ,,can you p m me with info ,,

Its already mapped to do that out of the box...

in order to map the lights to do what you want, you must put your controller in remote LED mode then map the LEDs to respond to the padcontrol command.

As far as gain knob in order them for them not to be jumpy when switching from one bank to the other you must set normal MIDI takeover for each one.

OK thanks I will give it a try...can I do this within Cross software?

you can only map input command within Cross. For output commands (LEDs) you must do it manually or use the MIDI mapping output utility that is posted in the forum.

Hello
