Haha, no sorry at all and I’ve updated the APC40 file again.
Merry Christmas!! 
Hey danoise, I have 1 question about XYPad app.
I tried to make a new config for APC20 & 40, which have 2 XYPad and 1 Repeater like this image:
(Also I updated the config files in the first post)
3727 
When I push a glid button on the XYPad area (though it’s very small area “3 X 3” 
), the glid button isn’t lit except the left bottom button. I think that this is because I set both “XY_grid” and “X, Y_sliders” at the same time in this config.
I can understand that the grid button isn’t lit while I control XYPad by sliders, but when I push the glid button, I want the button to be lit.
The Repeater app works like I described, even the Free value mode (the glid button is lit when I push the button).
Btw, Ableton’s “Push” seems great. It’s a ultimate controller. 
Yes, I downloaded your files and it’s the same here. I’ll look into it …
We should those configurations into the next version, right? They are quite cool 
Yeah, thanks. I’m glad too. 
Yeah, basically this is the problem - there is only one “actual” XYPad in Renoise, but this setup is trying to control it using two different approaches.
And because each one uses a different value-range, the error arises …
I guess you did read the instruction, it’s mentioned that you need choose a specific input method…buttons, slider, etc.
However, I would like to make this solution more flexible, but I would need to change some stuff pretty deep inside the Duplex framework.
This wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t because I currently have no access to a device running TouchOSC, a pretty important controller not to break.
So, for now you simply have to stick with a single method for controlling those XYpads - either the grid, or sliders/knobs
EDIT: I just released a version including your BPM control modifications 
Ah, ok I see.
But I want to leave the config file in this thread, since actually the config works fine as it is. To be lit or not is not a big problem. If a APC user read here and see the image above, he can understand it easily, I think.
(though I’ll remake it if I think of a layout better than it. )
Btw, please include the new Mackie Control config (with panning knob support) too in the next update. It’s more commonly used config than APC.
oh man, i’m having some issues getting my apc20 working properly using duplex. all my tabs just play notes, as if the device is in “note mode”. in fact, note mode is highlighted when it first turns on. i’m not able to turn it off though.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
here is my output from terminal. it looks like there’s a bunch of stuff being sent to the device on initialization. then, the bottom “receives” are the top 4 pads on my apc20.

Ahh, no no. I think your output data is normal, it’s not in “note mode” (As far as you use Duplex, APC20 never will be the “note mode”, I think).
If you hear notes when you hit every CLIP LAUNCH buttons, probably you have set APC20 on the Renoise’s Preferences panel as a midi device. Please don’t set APC20 as a Renoise’s native midi device. It’s enough if you set midi i/o port in Duplex only.
I set my Renoise Preference midi device to none, have it set in Duplex alone. I’m seeing data in the console. But nothing is happening at all. None of the faders move the faders in the Duplex browser, navigation doesn’t work, nothing.
ug sorry… i didn’t click run… shameful
You mean this or is it sarcastic?
No sarcastic at all. Maybe Rolling Eyes emoticon might give you misunderstanding though, I simply was impressed to see their movie on that day.
Well, I’m not going to buy it though (it’s expensive for me and I don’t need Live 
/> ).
Hey guys I’ve been able to get my apc20 working well in GripPie mode, but in Matrix mode the page left and page right buttons aren’t working. Is this a known issue?
Ohhh thanks. Indeed, I have been overlooking it. 
It seems that the “page” mapping of the Mixer app was changed a bit.
Please change like this;
Duplex/Controllers/APC20/Configurations/MatrixNavigatorTransportMixer.lua
line:112
Wrong
page = {
group_name = "Transport",
index = 5,
},
},
Correct
prev_page = {
group_name = "Transport",
index = 5,
},
next_page = {
group_name = "Transport",
index = 6,
},
},
Hi!
Is there any ability to implement note mode for APC20 and other SHIFT+button features and pass them directly to Renoise for custom mapping and/or live beating?
Hmm, if you asked me, I have to say I cannot do it since I don’t have deep lua programming skill.
Probably more hacking and programming skill are needed.
At least, I know that we can change APC’s mode by sysex signal.
If you interested in it, see page 6 in this pdf : APC20 Note-mode is “0x43”.
http://www.akaipro.com/extras/product/apc40/APC40_Communications_Protocol_rev_1.pdf
But I cannot do such lua programming at all… 
/>/>
Also, even if someone can do, it will be quite limited feature since it can be used only on APC20.
Rather than it, it may be good if there is a Duplex application such as simple Note-triggering app.
Though I don’t know whether it can be realized or not, since I’ve heard that lua is not enough to use such Real-time performance.
Anyway, probably, both will not be so easy.

The Keyboard application for Duplex will work just fine, without having to mess with code.
I’ll create a couple of configuration today for the APC’s, based on existing one for the Launchpad
As for latency, it’s pretty efficient. You have to distinguish between user-generated and programmatic (machine-generated) events.
The keyboard relies purely on user-generated events, for which there a small - but hardly noticable - delay and the resulting precision is fine.
My concerns about real-time performance are about scripts which would trigger rhythmic notes on it’s own, that could become wonky in the bad sense of the word.
If you ever wanted that sort of precision, you’d have to write a script which would inject the notes/fx directly into the pattern first.
I was trying note mode with APC20 in Renoise. Response was far better than in Ableton)) I can’t notice any delay at all.
But we have to reply with sysex msg to APC20 when note mode button is pressed to turn the Note Mode first.
And lit the None Mode pad with some color.
And return to User Mode when pad is pressed second time.
I can try to do it (Have some C lang skills) but tell me, plz, where to look first)
Here’s the updated APC controller files for Duplex, now including the Keyboard application.
Just unzip, and overwrite the existing files within the Duplex/Controllers folder and then (re)start Renoise.
Thanks! It works fine. Initially I was thinking of quick toggle into note mode inside matrix configuration.
As it is done in Ableton. But it is the same as change whole config with next button.
I’ve noticed that when there are drumkit slices only one pad is lit RED which corresponds to base note of whole sample.
