Hi, I have been using the Base for a little while now just as a regular MIDI controller with Ableton. I found being able to customize the colors of the pads in the editor very useful for my particular workflow.
I just installed the Python scripts and see that none of the pads in the user modes light up... Are there ways to assign colors to the pads for each of the different user modes? Does it involve editing the MIDI remote script? Or am I able to do it within the Livid Editor? Looked to see if this question had already been answered before but couldn't find anything, any insight would be appreciated since I would really like to have the MIDI remote scripts handy to mess with alongside my usual mappings with the color feedback :)
Cheers

Note: I am simply using the user mode as a drum pad, I am looking to simply have the lights stagnant - no "interactive" type feedback is necessary
You can assign different colors to the pads in the Base.py script, inside the function _set_layer3().
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me!
No trouble....I'd always rather explain to someone how to do something than just give them an answer. More fishes, and all that ;)
Works beautifully!! I now realize that you are the author of this script..it is excellent and I really appreciate all of your help with this!
Cool, glad that's working.
Amazing, works perfectly!! Thank you yet again!
Note - To troubleshoot I disabled all other MIDI outputs in my preferences and disconnected all other MIDI controllers and still experienced the issue. I have, however, edited the note order for the Pads within the MIDI remote script.
Definitely try updating the firmware. Do you know which version you're on?
Re: CC's. By button 5-8, you mean the navigation buttons on the side?
Yes, I mean the buttons on the side. All I'm looking to do is to have them send the same MIDI CC1 value with consecutive CC2 values, i.e. 0-3. Specifically what I want to do is to map the CC1 value to a chain selector so I can toggle to a different part of the chain when I select each one of the different user pages.
This is exactly what I thought you were trying to do ;) I'm not sure of an easy way to do it....
Got it. Just for the sake of brainstorming.. Is there way to keep those buttons as they are within the script and just have them ALSO trigger a CC value output, sent in addition to its normally assigned note? So that when the already existing MIDI message that the buttons output gets sent, it also triggers that CC value as well? This would of course have to only occur when within User Mode (I do not need it sent when entering User Mode, only when selecting one of the 4 pages within User Mode) so if even possible at all, I don't know if this is making things simpler or more complex.. Once again, please forgive my newbie-isms!
There's not a way to do it, unfortunately.
@amounra:
Hi I just posted a question before finding this, but is it possible to have dynamically mapped (ie responsive LEDs) type drum pads with the top buttons and faders midi mapped? thanks
@navigateur:
thanks @amounra i'm going to give this another shot and i'll report back!
