Hi everyone

I have an Akai Apc mini
everything works with the basic colors: red, green and yellow but I would like to insert all possible colors.
I've seen posts on the forum but I can't understand what the procedure is to activate all the colors. Maybe my Akai is Mk1.
Is there a tutorial or simple explanation for doing this?

ps the Up, down...volume...device , section, doesn't flash by default, can I do something to make it flash?

Thank you

First step is to find out whether you have a Mk1 or a Mk2.
On the MK1 the buttons on the Right (Clip Stop, Solo etc.) are Round, on the MK2 they are square.

On a MK1 you only have colors Red and Green (and Yellow if both are on).
On the MK2 the colors of the pads are RGB.

Have a look at "AKAI APC LED Feedback" overhere: https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/plugins/midi. it describes what you can do with a mk1.
