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!
Hi John,
Thanks for your response, excuse the delay in getting back to you while I got the information from Yaeltex.
There response was as follows:
“The color of all the RGB LEDs in Yaeltex controllers can be remotely controlled with the Value to color feature.
In the buttons, you just have to configure their feedback as Value to color and receive feedback messages with the same note and midi channel. The velocity of these messages will control the LED’s colors based on Yaeltex’s color table.”
I asked them about sysex but and answer to that was not formulated in their response – judging by my understanding though I don’t think it is relvevant.
I have attached the velocity values from Yaeltex below.
