Match Ableton Clip Color to reflect as LED state on MIDI Pads for Akai APC40 MK2
A lot of use on the forum are asking for this feature. We want the Akai APC40 MK2 PADS to light up based on the clip color of the Ableton clip that gets loaded on that PAD.
why did you choose to only go with 3 states for LED feed back? what are you going to implement so that we have LED color matching to clip color on Ableton?
we bought and purchased CSS with the idea that MIDI Mapping would go by a lot faster with your tool you created, so far it’s been more of a hassle trying to get your program to work appropriately mainly because the APC40 has 3 modes like MCBeats has mentioned on multiple forum posts and responses.
MCBeats has even provided the solution to set the modes (giving us a template ready for you to update on your program so that it’s easier on the users to choose between modes (mode 0, 1, and 2).
Hey Neoseed,
Here’s the latest version of the script.
The Reaction “Set Button Colors to Clip Colors (APC40 MK2)” is now only fired when the script is initialised. The function inside that updates the LEDs will continuously be rescheduled. I hope this will solve your problem with the LEDs turning orange.
To give you the ability to limit this functionality to certain modes, I added a way to assign which modes you want to use it on. Info can be found inside the Reaction.
I also implemented a blinking pattern when a clip is playing. All blinking buttons should follow the same pattern, so it looks uniform.
Let me know how it goes.
