LED Feedback versus Mode Selection?
Morning, folks –
I’m using a Launch Control XL mk2 and trying to implement a means of switching between 4 different modes, hopefully using the Device, Mute, Solo, Arm buttons on the right side of the controller with LED feedback aiding to show what mode I’m on when landing on the bank these parameters & values are stored on.
Drilling down to an otherwise blank template, only with two buttons and two modes, I’m finding that the LED feedback fails when including the mode selectors.
I’ve tried this as two separate mappings, storing the entirety within the reactions, and neither seems to get it. I’ve also searched the forums a number of times, and while I’ve seen some techniques that have worked for others, (“condition : true”, swapping things from true to false) I think I’m missing the right part of code to edit.
If someone could have a look at the code and point out where the edit I need to make would be – and maybe more importantly for the sake of “learning to fish”, how to hunt this down in the future and correct it myself, that would be greatly appreciated!
Is it the Mode itself or Mode Selector which you LED feedback isn’t working for?
Sorry, I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to achieve 🙂
I’m not sure why this is happening, but a work around could be:
1. turn off LED feedback for the Mode (switch to the Mode tab and open the mode’s settings)
2. Use Reactions to turn LEDs on/off when the mode is activated.

Hey there –
No worries; I think I can explain:
I’m using a Novation Launch Control MK2. If you’re familiar, there are 4 vertical buttons down the ride side that can only GIVE LED feedback in one color, but tha: a I need.
Now, when I use reaction to send a velocity value of 127 to these buttons with nothing else in my script targeting those buttons, I’m able to get LES feedback just fine. But for some reason, that LED feedback immediately ceases to work when I try to add a mode selection to that button as well.
I’ve attempted to use reactions to change modes, two individual items to first provide LED feedback and second to change the modes, modifying setting in the controller template….but somehow, It’s almost as if the mode selection itself defies something in the scripted values that always ends with the buttons staying dark.
Basically, the addition of a mode selection “item” – whether selected from the list of mappings and separate from the reaction mapping that handles the LES feedback, or – included in the very reaction used to facilitate the LED feedback – looks to be subverting the process of lighting up buttons.
It’s as if those methods would work in theory given what they do, but some aspect of the order I’m using them botches within the “make this LED light up” portion.
