How to display Ableton track colors on MIDI controller pads?
Hi,
Great to see 2.6 out of beta, thanks for keeping up the development!
Now with the new reactions working, is it possible to send the color of the track in Ableton to a controller RGB pad? I mean, pick up the color from Ableton, not write down manually a matching velocity value.
What I want to do is lay out all the tracks on my controller pads with their colors and then hit the pad to select the track. It is MUCH easier to select the right track when I can see the color. Counting tracks to find the right one from a bunch of identically colored ones is not really useful.
If it is possible now, I’d really appreciate some direction on how to do it… I’ve tried finding the functionality myself, but failed :-/
Cheers!
Yes Control Surface Studio now has the ability to send Sysex using the action ‘script > send raw MIDI data to controller’
In this option you can enter sysex. It will require abit of investigation but another user was able to send track names to their controller’s LED display
using the following code:
tuple([240, 126, 0] + [ord(c) for c in self.song().view.selected_track.name] + [247])
