problem with loop LEDS on launchpad
problem with loop LEDS on launchpad Posted on: 05.06.2011 by Chae Gnatek Hey guys!Okay, so on my launchpad I've got 4 button set, so that but1 drops a 2beat loop, but2 a 4beat loop, but3 a 8 beatloop and but4 a 16 beat loop. this is all fine, no problem My problems is in the output: I want all 4 buttons to constantly be a dim green, and then when I press each, hence activate that certain loop size I want the button to light up bright green. (dim beeing midirange 28 and bright beeing 60). Then obviously when I deactivate the loop, or switch to another loop size I want the light on the first to be turned down (and the new to be turned up) I've tried everything and just can't get this to work! Any help is appreciated! (I'm on windows using traktor pro2) | |

| Chae Gnatek 06.06.2011 | Wow, okay, found out it was actually quiet lucky that I managed to figure this one out - because I did! I had some OUTs than I accidently hadn't deleted - and these were the keys to making it work! Except for the OUTs I talked about above, you'll also need som "Loop size and set"-OUTs. These should have the exact same controller range and Midi range settings, but "Is in Loop" should be set to 0. This ought to do it! good luck |
| Chae Gnatek 06.06.2011 | no wait, turns out I had some other outs aswell, that I didnt know off. I'll have a look |
| Chae Gnatek 06.06.2011 | Yiiii, finally figured it out! @zestoi; I did pretty much what you said: I mapped a OUT "loop size" on the samme button as the one activating the loop (for an example loop size 2). I then set the condition "is in loop" deck A to 1 (this is just an example for deck A). I set the controller range from 6 to 6 (which is a 2 beat loop), unticked blend, and set the midi range from 28 (dim green) to 60 (bright green), and voila, works like a charm - even when I change the length of the loop by using one of the other buttons - it's, the new loop lengt button that get lit! nice one! |
| Chasidy Heckenbach 05.06.2011 | thought this wouldn't be too hard - but i have no clue i just tried adding the "loop size" OUT with the "is in loop" modifier set to 1 or 0 and setting the controller range to match the value of the loop size (7 == 4 beats, 8 == 8 beats etc) but doesnt quite do what you want... the buttons are dim initially but when i press one to activate a loop + set the size it goes bright while the others go dim - which makes sense looking at the tsi really - but i cant see a nice clean way of making it work right without adding way more outs. shame you can't say a modfier "doesn't equal" a value really... i'm interested to see how the experts manage to do this anyway... |
| Janyce Henningson 05.06.2011 | What have u got at the minute - do the led's light up at all or are they off? If I remember rightly its Hotcue State you want to look at - can't check atm cos I'm not on me mac.. |
