Sending Clip Colors to a Midi Controller

Post by ibums » Fri Sep 01, 2023 1:33 am

Hello!

I'm working on making my own midi controller to control session view.

I'd like to light up the buttons of my controller with neopixels so that they match the colors of the session clips that they represent.
In my research I've found clip colors can be sent by ableton via midi to your midi device, though, I've been unable to find any documentation that gives any details on how to do this.

Is this info sent by default to my device? Where can I find documentation for this feature?

Also, any other documentation or references regarding python scripting control surfaces would be incredibly appreciated.

Thanks for your help!
