How to make glowing LEDs in USER1 on Launchpad?

Post by TomaszM » Wed Dec 21, 2011 9:15 pm

Hello.
I'd like to control Looper in USER 1 in this way:

record - red color
overdub - yellow
play - green
stop, delete - no color
two buttons for speed up and down - could be a green, when press both - return back to zero position
reverse - no problem when press reverse its turn lights on (yellow)

Why USER 1 - because I'd like to use some pads to play midi notes (drums or instruments)
I do not want swith modes. Only ONE mode.

Anyway it could be good just make leds permamently glowing in different colours. Actualy there is a patch but works only in User2. Unfortuantely in User2 cannot play midi notes ;-(

Thanks for any help

What do you mean by glowing? User 1 is usable bu it's trial and error which pads light, good luck!

I mean turn LEDs on (glowing).
I've builded workspace in USER1 : 4 tracks with loopers (first 4th columns) and the other one to play drums, metronom and turn on/off some effetcs. Works perfect, but I have to use colour sticker on button - I prefer lights. Anyway I dont need any automaps for Launchpad, no faders, All buttons could works as a regular midi notes - I just need simple buttons with different colour of lights. Thas it. USER1 could be the best mode.

If you midi map pads you lose control surface functionality so can't use mac4live, sorry....

You need to use max4live to contro the loopers it's one or the other not a combination of both....
