setup button colors are gone when I click a free slot
Hi,
I followed this tutorial and altered the script to listen to the scene colors what is working nicely:

When I click a free slot the color is gone.
Using the latest software 2.6.3
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hi Christian Björklund,
Looks similar to me. @John C @ 303 what do you think?
Hello Robin & Christian,
Short answer; sure it could be related! I don’t have a RGB LED midi device so I can not test your files (I tried, didn’t work..)
I also don’t have experience yet with the ‘Application’ set from the ‘Live Object Model’.
Reviewing the code, I could not see a listener for pressing an empty clip slot. Unless it is the ‘self.application().view.add_is_view_visible_listener’ listener you used (which I don’t know the function of).
I don’t know what you want to accomplish with your script, but you might have more luck trying the ‘Session Box’. Here you can easily alter the colors and selecting an empty clip works alright.
Anyway, the issue with the disappearing LEDs is still alive.
I also tried adding listeners so that the lights are triggered anyhow, but no luck as of yet. For instance, my ‘Session Box’
lights will go out whenever I select a device, so I tried to add listeners that would activate the session box again when selecting or switching to a device, with no luck so far. Workaround; Highlighting the selected track again (‘Session Box Navigation’ or ‘Highlight Navigation’) shows the LEDs again, so that is what I do for the moment..
I’m sure that in one of the next updates it will get addressed.
Hi 303,
Thanks for your reply. Session box is working but I can’t dynamical change the colors of the clips and scenes from Ableton.
John C explained in the tutorial below how you can set and map colors from Ableton to led rings to your controller:
https://remotify.io/community/question/how-display-ableton-track-colors-…
This is exactly what I am looking for and can script it with reactions without the session box. It would be nicer and I think I red it in some posts that you can define colors inside the session box from Ableton mapped colors, but for now the default session box is overriding the clip colors.
Is there a road map when there is going to be this feature?
Also I like to define 4 buttons to 4 fixed scenes without the session box what I also can do with reactions I saw, But the color led ring going to black makes this impossible to use.
Hello Robin,
It is a pity I don’t have an RGB LED device.. Otherwise, I could help test out.
In one of my scripts I have a ‘Reaction’ that overrides the default color of the ‘Stop Track’ in my ‘Session Box’. So I suppose it could be possible also in your case.. If you didn’t already, try putting in a default value instead of ‘none’ for the ‘LED Feedback’ in ‘Session Box’. Maybe that can help.
About the color led rings going black, I am not sure how it works on the MIDI Fighter but when I want to add color to a button on my device, I add an ‘Action Block’ in the ‘Reaction’:
1) MIDI Controller -> send MIDI velocity value to input
2) Choose a MIDI Controller input
3) Give it a value (color)
