1000 thankz agein - this will help me to automate my setup for the sq sc mod again...---

Question:
did you discribe how to deactivate a specific button on APC like the "record arm" for e.g. chanal1? - I meen to deactivate it for Ableton - so if i press record arm - ableton dont do nothing, but in max4live i do something....

I know that i can turn on and off the matrix with the "enable 0" and "enable 1" but this buttons (arm, solo, stop for the 8 tracks) dont react to this commandos- the "getinfo" command of this buttons say to me that there is no enable disable...- but some other strange commandos that are not discribt in the docomentation (ok that was clear haha)...or in the AKAI communications protokoll-pdf.

come this info with part 3? or did you say about this something in part 1&2 (i have seen both...)

I am just guessing because I haven't looked at my APC40 yet with the API. But... I think if you use the M4L.api.SelectComponent in a bpatcher and select the component you want to disable and then call the function, "call set_enabled 0" into a live.object, you would probably be good.

Hi,
I'm just getting started with the Launchpad and M4L and your tutorials are really helping me out - thanks!
I'm curious about what all the other components do that are listed in the M4L.apl.SelectComponent menu. I would like to try to use some sliders similar to the Mixer-Volume ones but have them operate in User2 mode, along with LED feedback. Somehow I am guessing that that may be possible using the correct component, but I can't find any info searching for what these components do. Can you shed any light on this?
Thanks,
Bob
