Hi everyone!

Sorry for my English....i use "google translator"...
I recently purchased an Akai APC40 Mk2 controller. The my other APC Mini is perfectly usable, the "Flashing Feedback" is easy to see.

Question - Is it possible to do the same on the APC40 Mk2 controller?

I found in the Akai documentation how this is possible.I tried "MIDI-OX" an external program, and I was able to control it that way.
Example - Button 1: 90 00 50 - sends a control to the first button, where 00 - means the address of the button, 50 - color value
Based on AKAI documentation, for example: 9F 00 50, same Button, same color value, and "Blinking 1/2"

Unfortunately i can't find a solution to this within QLC +.
It can be solved with a MIDI translator program, but it is complicated.

Is there another way to do this, a solution within QLC +?

Thanks for answer.

"Custom feedback" is what you're looking for:

Also check MIDI plugin documentation (AKAI APC LED Feedbacks);

Documentation is not correct for APC40 Mk2. It is using different feedbacks than devices mentioned in the documentation. Unfortunately it is not possible to make buttons blinking using the custom feedback directly and it is neccessary to use sime kind of MIDI remapper for this purpose (such as https://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator)
