leds on the APC

[Muzik 4 Machines]

i've seen hanz is changing led colors and stuff

since i will never be recording clip is there something that i could hack to have the buttons flash red at the last bar of a loop, i mean, is this info transmited by live in some way that it could ba hacked by the MIDI script and have the corresponding clip led flash from green to red when a clip loop ends (1 or 2 bars would be plenty)

I have read some on hanz scripts through his framework lessons and I dont think what your trying to acheive is possible.
Hanz scripts work with the frameworks wich are allready provided by the remote scripts.
What you want is not to my knowledge done my any current controller.
So you would need to hack more then just remote scripts but the live API itself...

Maybe max for live could achieve this

[S4racen]

Max for live can definitely acheive this, you'd need to observe the clip playing, the lenght and the current position, translate that to the position in the clip launch grid (assuming its still in view) and send the relevant message to the button to change it's state....

The most complicated bit will be determining which pad to change the olour off, it maybe easier to have it flash the clip stop button, i have mine so the clip stop button lights to say it's playing a clip on that track, your idea sounds like quite a good one for me to build into my device....

You don't need max. Just put a blank midi track on and send the MIDI out to your APC. The first 9 channels reflect the 9 columns on the APC, the notes reflect which button, and the velocity controls the color. It's pretty simple and you can do all kinds of crazy things if you're so inclined w/out M4L.

really interesting, any way to lit the stop buttons with MIDI notes too?

[S4racen]

Same thing but they only have the option of green....

Interested to how you'll solve your original request using just midi, cant see how it can be done??

What Will happen Will be That ill have 8 8 bars midi clip running alongside each scene
Since having clips matchng the position whitin the red rectangle is pretty impossible I'll make them flash the stop button green on every beat and have them go steady or like 1/16th flash o the 2 last bars

Another way I think of it which would be the best for me is having stop 1 stay lit in bar 1 stop 2 in bar 2 and so on to know where I am like on the electribe (either lit all bar or flashing every beat of the bar, every bar on it's stop button

With 2 apc I'd even have them scroll all 16 stop buttons every bar plus the current bar steady lit(are there only green LEDs in the stop buttons or it's rgb too and there is just no midi note to call red and amber?)

[S4racen]

Only green Led's i'm afraid....

I'll live with flashing green lights then
I'm pretty sure it'll work nicely
