Good Morning dear QLC+ Community

I started programming qlc+ v4 and wanted to connect it with a Midi Controller, looked for something with Knobs and Led pads and especially Piano Keys. The knobs and led pads work, atleast for the funtcion of it. Problem is that i dont know how to set their Colors :( and secondly the Keys dont get automatically recognized. Does anyone have some Channel Values for me for the Keys or what is wrong with my Akai APC Key25 mk1? :(

Glad to hear some answers or maybe tips from people who use the APC Key 25 mk1 or mk2. Thanks in Advance!

Welcome to the forum,

Did you investigate what emulation mode is used? Did you set the multichannel option in your midi universe?

I will look after the emulation mode and will switch thru it, where do i find the multichannel option? also at the same Header of the emulation Mode?. Maybe i try and put the Controller as Feedback, but i doubt that works in the end. Thanks tho for now, will come when i tested it! Thanks :D

You could use a MIDI monitoring tool (like MidiView https://hautetechnique.com/midi/midiview/).

Find out which channel and message type the AKAI uses for Keys (and what is different from the buttons and sliders that are already working).
