Mapping OUTPUT midi cc's to my controller?

Post by cway » Tue May 11, 2010 1:36 pm

Hi I'm quite new to all this so I may not have worded the question right...

Basically I have a mixer control surface with light up buttons (Numark Stealth Control). When I assign the button to Ableton... say Filter On/Off it maps fine, but I have no light feedback. Apparently this is because the light cc's are different to the button cc's(?), so I need Live to send a different cc back to my controller in order for my lights to work.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

try and add another midi track and set its input to the channel that the sound you are playing with midi, and put the out put back to the numark stealth, its works on a launchpad to get colors and visual notice of recorded notes on my launchpad.

Yes, that should work. I use Stealth with Traktor and had a similar issue.

Thanks for the replies guys, but I'm quite new to this and I dont really understand what you mean, sorry for being so slow! I have uploaded a video of the problem, maybe it will explain it a bit better.
