Octatrack + APC Key 25 + iConnectMIDI4+

Hi, is it possible to configure the Akai APC Key 25 to control the OT via the iConnectMIDI4+ MIDI interface?

The keyboard has lots of buttons that may be useful to match some OT parameters (I haven´t thought which ones), and maybe some from the Digitone as well.

I can´t even find the MIDI implementation chart for this keyboard.

What do you think?

Had a quick search on Akai site too and I guess it’s Ableton only for this one … no sign of a midi control app for it.

I don´t see a MIDI control app but it has to send MIDI messages, and with the iConnectMIDI4+ it should route them to wherever I want, but this is in theory…

Maybe use a midi monitor app (connected to a computer device) to read the msg and then forward those with the IconnectMidi to the midi parameter you want to change on the OT?

I only use a footcontroller with the OT, straight DIN midi in the OT.

Hi, i own the APC Key 25.
The clip launch buttons will send note data when connected to for example, Logic Pro X.

Great!

So it won´t send those messages until connected to a DAW?

That i can not say, cause i dont have a USB to MIDI converter like you have.
If it should work, please let me know, than i have a reason to buy an iConnectivity :slight_smile:

Yea, posting back what works (or not) is always :golfing_man:

I´ll try to make it work, but don´t know when :crazy_face:
