hi there,
I am currently customizing my OhmRGB to suit my needs in Reason by means of reduced remote scripts as for I am using a Code as well which covers most of the essential remote functions of individual devices.
Reason supports the Ohm64 with a remotecodec that allows the user to directly edit the targeted device in the sequencer or permanently lock it to one of them. This is of course good — the Code is even better due to its LED-feedback for the knobs which updates the current values of the parameters, which the Ohm is of course not capable of.
I have created different remote scripts for the Ohm to make best use of it depending on the current environment. While I use the Code to directly edit the targeted device and its parameters I am using the Ohm to control global functions like Loop settings, arming tracks, solo functions, BPM, Patch select etc. The only function I have not yet figured out, is how to edit the lua files in such a way that I can assign the OhmRGB's buttons to individual colors. This would be very useful for I could match the LED's colors to those of the buttons within Reason (i.e. Solo: green, Mute: red, Loop On: blue etc.) as well as use different colors to differentiate the button's functions generally.
Q: Is there a way to define the colors in the lua files to achieve this? — otherwise I am basically using an Ohm64 in Reason, without its super swell RGB functionality.
help appreciated!
++ I gladly share my remote scripts in the end if it is of any use to anyone, definitely for those using a Code with the OhmRGB in Reason.
Thanks!

Hi @ Moon & Pete!
I see, the .png-file seems to have revealed the necessary info. I assume now, that if I were to set a button's maximum output to anything between 8-15, it will light up in red (according to the picture reference you sent)...!? very good so far.
this would of course be a permanent solution, a global one, for the button to always light up in red regardless of its linked function (i.e. in a remote script).
i don't suppose there is a way of setting the buttons' output color in the remotemap-file to light up in different colors according to function when switichng to another device! or KBV?
or perhaps one must set up all colours for all buttons in the lua file under different names (i.e. 'Grid 1 RED', 'Grid 1 MAGENTA' etc.) and then refer to them in the remotemap-file accordingly?
it est:
Map Grid 1 RED Track Mute
Map Grid 1 GREEN Track Solo
for example... would that work!?
thanks for the advice, will definitely check it out, as soon as I can!!
hi again,
okay,
one can, however, duplicate entries within the lua file and rename them, setting up different color output values to each of them and refer to them individually in the remotemap file according to one's needs (choose a color for the desired button color in a device's remote mapping):
