Das hier habe ich gefunden: für die APC
(muss mich leider verabschieden - gute nacht - werde das morgen mal ausprobieren!)

First, make sure the APC is not selected as a Control Surface in Live's Preferences. Otherwise the existing mappings will cause the device to act as a normal APC.
Here's how to make a basic 8-step sequencer:
Create a new MIDI track.
Add a MIDI Effect Rack into the track.
Add an Arpeggiator to the Effect Rack and set its Rate parameter to 1/16.
Add the Random effect after the Arpeggiator and set its Choices parameter to '8', Mode to 'Alt' and Chance to '100%'.
Add a new MIDI Effect Rack after the Random effect, but still within the first MIDI Effect Rack.
In the new MIDI Effect Rack show the Chain List and add a new chain.
In the chain add a Scale effect and only enable the note from the bottom left. Make sure to disable all other notes in the scale.
Add a Pitch effect after the Scale effect (still in the second MIDI Effect Rack)
Map the Pitch parameter to the first volume slider on the APC.
Repeat steps 6 to 9 seven times, but for each repetition make sure you: set the enabled note in the Scale effect 1 up and 1 to the right (as if you were making a diagonal line from the bottom left to the top right) and; map the Pitch parameter of the Pitch effect to the next available slider on the APC.
Finally, make a new clip in the MIDI track that contains a single note and that loops for 1 bar.
Unfortunately there is one caveat I have not been able to solve with this idea. That is, starting/stoping the transport in Live will not reset the sequence to the first step, which can be very annoying depending on what you're trying to do.
Playing the clip will start the arpeggiator, which in our case acts as the clock for the sequencer. Each fader on the APC will control the pitch for the respective step in the sequence.
You can use this technique to sequence any synthesizer or effect (e.g. Corpus) in Live. There are many more possibilities (e.g. showing step position with the APC's buttons, toggling steps, adding swing to individual steps) using this technique as a basis, but I'll leave those up to you
