I am currently working on a Max patch which enables me to determine the RGB-feedback on my controller from Ableton Live.
I would like to do the same for the LED-rings of the encoders (Code or CNTRL:R), i.e. have certain rings display walking rings for automated parameters, sends and volumes filling rings, eq mode for dry/wet and pan etc. as well as spread e.g. for filter resonances respectively — according to one's need and controlled by Max and not the Editor.
I know there is a way and people here who know the how, but I don't yet know which messages to send on which MIDI-channel (presumably 16) for individual rings to switch their LED-mode. For buttons this is easy because the velocity defines the color — but for CCs I wouldn't know what to do.
Help appreciated!
The patch will be something to absolutely relish for all Ableton/M4L users with Livid controllers.

You just send a CC using the ctlout object I think. The value of the CC determines the LED feedback.
Please share your patch when you're finished!
hm… two things to mention here:
I think sysex is the only way to change settings on the fly like that. Max standalone can send sysex, I'm not sure about max4live. What are the limitations of M4L?
Hey there,
Monomodular?
b995 is the last release version that works with Live9, b996 is still a "work in progress"...it only supports Base and Push at the moment.
