LED Feedback between modes, Looper Questions on Softstep 2

Hello all! I have a working script that controls the first 8 parameters of the selected track.  I am able to get LED feedback that updates as I switch tracks.  I have a mode toggle and the LED feedback is working, but it also sends several other seemingly random LED messages to the Softstep.  Is there a way to “flush” all LEDs when switching modes?  Same deal when I boot up ableton, it starts with a bunch of random LEDs coming on. If I switch presets on the softstep, it will flush those out as I have all the LEDs turned off in the corresponding softstep presets.

Second, I’d like to use the Looper device without having to manually map.  It doesn’t seem like I can target the multifunction button.  Am I missing something?

Thank you for reading and for any help or pointers.
