Needing Launchpad Suggestions/Solutions

Aloha All,
I'm in the process of designing a One-Man show where I will be launching all my own sound cues. Some of which is dialogue from other "characters" I'll be responding to.

I got a Launchpad for easier viewing and to make it look more natural (so I'm not squinting into the screen every time I need to launch a clip)

Curious if there is a way, maybe with follow actions or something, to have the last clip triggered remain green (instead of reverting back to amber) on the Launchpad after it's finished playing? Or maybe set the next clip in the track to green so i can visually know right where to go. This would enable great freedom to focus on the acting and singing as my brain will already be juggling a lot.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very greatful. Or even if it can't be done, it would be good to know that, too.

Thank you,
Quicksilver

Maybe put silent clips between each piece of dialogue, which loop endlessly until you activate the next dialogue clip? so get the dialogue clips to play once then move to next clip (using the follow actions), with that clip being the silent loop. That way, you'll always know that the next dialogue clip to activate is the one below the green clip (the silent one)?

That's the best way I can think of without faffing about in Max for Live.

Wow! Thanks for the swift solution! That may be the ticket.
I was hoping not to have to dive into Max4Live yet...
