Akai Midi Control

Hi!
I just recently bought an APCmini from Akai Pro, and I was hoping that it would be compatible with M-PC. As far as I can tell you have to buy a program called RD/ShowCockPit. Is there another program out that that allows to control M-PC over a midi controller without having to buy more software?

You can use the APC directly with ONYX.
