Launchpad Python: User1 Blink LEDs interfere w/ Session view

Post by infinitystairs » Tue Jun 13, 2017 4:45 pm

I'm modifying the stock Launchpad MK2 script, and using the _Framework classes to map some User_1 buttons to functions in Live, and provide LED feedback.

If I use solid color lights, everything works fine. However, if I Blink or Pulse the LEDs on User_1, they unintentionally light up buttons on the Session mode. This is because solid lights transmit on Launchpad's User_1 midi channel (out of the box, channel 6). However, Blink and Pulse transmit on channel 2 and 3.

How can I prevent the Session mode from listening on channel 2 and 3?
