LED Feedback Modulation helpers

Hi All
In programmers reference eg for LP, there are some helper functions eg flashing and pulsing.
In the the CSS session box, it seems that you simply select the velocity to target a pallet color based on the units color map. However function needs to be commensurate with Live so that queued clips flash etc.
How is this achieved? Can there be a dropdown beside each LED feedback value with an option to flash/pulse the chosen colour?
Some of the controllers I have seen use adjacent colours eg vel 71 = black, 72 = Red and flash them on/off with the notes directly.so midi event control should be no problem right?

Unless Im missing something?

Hi,

Flashing/pulsing is accomplished differently in pretty much every controller so it not possible for us to provide options for this.
If I remember right, making a pad pulse or flash is done by sending the velocity value to the pad but a different midi channel? ( I could be wrong).
If this is the case, what you can do is in the CSS controller template, add a copy of the pad with the required midi channel for the flash/pulse. Then in the mapping, send the LED feedback to that pad in the controller template.
So if for example the pad by default is set to midi channel: 1, value: 2
But to make it flash, it needs to receive the velocity/led feedback on channel 2,
Create another pad in the controller template set to midi channel 2, value 2
Then in the mapping’s led feedback section, send the feedback to the new pad on channel 2.

I hope this helps 🙂
