How to get LED feedback to the APC 20 from Ableton

Here is a video showing how to get led feedback when using the Akai APC20's note mode with ableton live, similiar to native instruments' maschine. You want to set you transient ( warp ) markers on your audio track, right click and select "slice to midi", select transient as you slicing option, arm the new midi track and play you pattering using note mode. Then add another midi track and route the midi from the midi track with the slices out to the apc20 on channel 10.
Also leave the "monitor" option set to "in" on the midi track sending the midi out to the apc.

Sweet,Thanks a lot, I'd never really missed that 'till now! Ableton has really blown open the world of midi for me, it's amazing what you can hook up when you think logically!

@opts9 Thanks for the comment. Yeah I think it's cool when you can see back what  you just laid down!

@johnnyceron00 Thanks for the love, man. I know, i thought they would have done this themselves.

Brilliant. Always thought it was strange that they didn't light up in note mode. Nice work around!
