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!
Hello, I am fighting with this ..
I use an APC40 MKII and I’m trying to reproduce almost the same behavior as the original one (the differences are the faders having 85% max value and the top encoders modes).
I need the pads to behave as the stock APC40 scripts, with colors following the session box.
Is it possible at all with the current version of CSS ? I’m afraid we would need a ton of modifiers ..
If not, maybe someone has raw python I could add manually to my script ? Considering I know basically nothing about python, but I can deduct some stuff.
Please please implement this in the Session Box mapping, this is a must 🙂
Cheers
Attached is my script if needed (wip)
