Akai APC40 Serato and light

So recently somone told me good luck with getting BOMES MIDI TRANSLATOR to work if you wernt fluient with midi translation. i found out how to do it BUT, without actually buying BOMES, you only get a 20 min window for this to work, then it will shut down and youll have to open it again. Now im using my TRAKTOR X1 with SERATO SCRATCH LIVE.

Now when i say getting Bomes to work with you X1, what i mean is that i am able to get the Lights to work in gate mode to light up when applying pressure to the specifics.

1st) goto http://www.bome.com and grab your self the free trial version. Download and Install

2nd) Open BOMES and wait for the little timer to countdown. Press Ok

3rd) Once open, Plug in your TRAKTOR X1.

4th) In BOMES goto the task bar on the top and click on MIDI and select "Project Defult Ports" and once that opens you should have your TRAKTOR X1 on both the Midi In and Midi Out sides. Select Both and press ok

5th) Go back to the Taskbar and select MIDI again. Now goto Routing Midi (thru). Once opened youll see all the sides for the Midi in and outs. All i did here was drag a line from the Midi in of the x1 to the midi out of x1. once thats done you should just have a little line connecting the two. Select ok.

6th) Again go back to Midi on the Task Bar and select Present Defult Ports. Once thats opened youll see 2 choices above each of the imput and output sections. Select specific ports for both of them then select you X1 for the both of them. once thats done select ok.

And that should be it. I did this to my controlle as i was writing this and it works being im pressing them right now and all works dandy. i say again this is only to have your lights work on Gate mode as you apply pressure to the buttons and they will only work for 20 minuits.

Hope this works and Enjoy.
