Midi faders and encoders

Hello! I’m looking to add something like an akai apc40 to a pc rig for control over midi. To test some of this, I fired up my novation impulse 49 which has some faders and some infinite spin knobs I thought would be good for controlling the encoders. Well, I never got the faders to work at all and the knobs I could make talk to the hog encoder wheels, but only a small range. I did have to change the mode from7 bit absolute to 7 but relative but it was only changing part of the intensity encoders value range. 0 on the midi knob wasn’t 0% on hog and 127 on the knob wasn’t 100% on hog. What am I missing? Do I have to have something bomes midi translator or is there something I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

  • Ok so when I bought the apc40 yesterday I didn’t have my pc with me. I was able to get everything working fine on my mac running hog on windows via bootcamp. Fired up my pc rig this afternoon and most everything is working except I can’t get the apc faders to control the hog faders. I can make the apc faders control an encoder wheel in hog so I know they are talking. Seems like it’s something weird with the faders on hog on this machine. Is there another setting within hog that I should check that may allow/disallow remote access to those? I also tried every mode in the midi map and none of them worked (relative, absolute, 7 but, 14 bit, etc)
