Kontrol F1 LED and Session Box Issues
Hey there!
I’ve been working on my script for F1’s controlling Ableton and seem to have gotten stuck on the LEDs and the Session Box Scrolling.
I’d like to use 2 F1’s, each controlling 4 different tracks, with the ability to move each F1’s session box independently, and the clip colors being represented on the F1. I can manage to get clips launched, and the volume of the tracks adjusted with the sliders. However, none of the pads light up at all. I want the pads to light up in the corresponding clip color, or close to it, and to show the clips status the same way it looks in Ableton (lit when playing, blinking when cued, etc.). I was also hoping to scroll up and down by twisting the encoder, and left to right with the “Size” and “Browse” buttons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This post about LED Feedback Values by John may be useful to get you started. You’ll be able to use these values in the Session Box Mapping:
However, when it comes to showing clip colors on the pads, there’s currently no feature installed for that (that I’m aware of). It is kind of do-able with a Reaction Mapping, I once made an attempt at it, but it will still take some time to get this set up in a user-friendly way. If I feel up to it, I’ll try it again. No promises though.
For the Session Box Movement, see the added json file.
You’ll need to adjust the Listeners in the 3 Mappings to those of your device. The Mapping “Up/Down” expects a knob. The other 2 expect a button.
Additionally, in the “Left” and “Right” mapping, you’ll need to change the Condition of the first Action Block:
The first Action Block checks if the Velocity Value of the button is 0 (i.e. button is released), then it should exit the Reaction (otherwise the Reaction will perform twice; once on button press, once on button release).
I’m assuming here that your buttons work as a Trigger, not as a Toggle. If they do work as a Toggle you may delete that first Action Block of both Reactions.
