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!
Same here, just posted in another thread here in the forum, but as it seems related I also update it here in this thread:
I have a similar midi command here and get the same syntax errors. Wrapping it in additional brackets does not solve it either.
Any advise on how to fix the syntax?
Found a cumbersome solution, but it works:
Just translate each individual element from HEX to DEC and it will work.
In my case what I want to send is: (F0,00,20,6B,7F,42,05,01,F7)
Instead I now send the same in Decimal: (240,0,32,107,127,66,5,1,247) and this works.
Thanks Robstaaaa,
Stakker – if you look at Robstaaa’s comment, he has a comma between each i.e. 240,0,32,…
Where as the errors in the log file which you provided show that the commas are missing – self._send_midi(F0 47 7F 43 65 00 04 23 00 00 7F F7)
So try adding them in to match like this – self._send_midi(F0,47,7F,43,65,00,04,23,00,00,7F,F7)
… oh but you will need to convert it to decimal (as mentioned above)
