Each Deck is routed to Mixer Channel (NOTE: you still need to assign the audio files you drop onto the playlist to the correct mixer channel – I don’t believe this can be automated). The spacing between each track is about 146 Bars.

The template consists of 2 Decks (2 Track Channels in the Playlist) set up for 20 tracks per Deck. I’ve created two different versions that are available with this tutorial – one with the effects in the Mixer (non-Patcher template is v1.0a), another with Patcher running the EQ and Effects (v1.0b). The following tutorial demonstrates how you can create a performance mode template for the faders to correspond to the track channels with the default APC40 script that loads when you launch FL Studio 11, while also having a decent amount of distance between markers, along with some other bells and whistles that allow for a more intuitive performance mode with the APC40. However, by setting up a template you can have a pretty intuitive set up ready to go that addresses a lot of these issues without having to do a ton of manipulation of FL Studio every time. Also, the Markers are set pretty close to each other by default when you convert to performance mode. The APC40 with FL Studio 11’s performance mode is not nearly as intuitive, because of three main reasons: 1) the orientation of the track channels in the playlist in FL Studio from right to left and the corresponding track channels going from top to bottom on the APC40, 2) the channel faders at the bottom are not assigned to the corresponding track channels above, and 3) management and routing of effects and signals is more complicated (in particular, you have to be mindful of your device Mixer Channel assignments). I’m partial to using the APC40 for performing, and with Ableton, the APC40 is just about idiot proof making everything pretty intuitive out of the box.
