I’ve got the A500. As roel said, it’s playing notes. You can modify the control maps through the A-PRO editor.
For example, I’ve moved all the controllers (buttons, pots, faders) to A-PRO 2 and kept the keyboard and mod/pitch on A-PRO 1. That way I can have the “all midi” only accept A-PRO 1 (i.e the keys) while all the modifications are done through the generic remote + quick controls which listens to A-PRO 2.
