Luminosus Encoders on Akai APC mini

those are different products from different manufacturers, so yes, the configuration (and the capabilities) are different.

the midi protocol used to communicate between the BCF2000 or Akai and the luminosus computer is MIDI. Midi comes in various different flavors that has different properties. the BCF2000 instruction says that the encoder should send a midi flavor called CC (Control change). the advantage of CC is that the values are interpreted relatively. so it doesn't tell the encoder to go to 0 or to 47, but it tells it to increase by 1 or decrease by 1. you need this behaviour for endless controllers like an encoder, while a controller like a fader (that has two ends) works fine with absolute values that a Midi Note can send.

so, to make a long story short: yes, the way to config is different. but you will want to find a way to make the Akai encoders send Midi CC.

Thanks! I found info on the Nomad fb group for a Behringer x-touch mini, how to configure encoders. I will give this a try first,  and use the Akai just for Macro's and faders.
