so what i'm trying to achieve is to make the apc40 pads going from green (I have a start translator wich makes all of them green) to red when i press, and then when i press again back to green.
basically I need to output a variable in velocity, 01 for green and 03 for red. I think I can do it with a rule to set the variable's value cycling between 01 and 03... How can I do it?

Hi tekhop

This can all be done in one translator. We are going to need to use a global variable for each button, but you want it to read something like:

Code: Select all

Translator 1: Red/Green
Incoming Message: 90 03 7F
Rules: g0=g0+1
if g0>1 then g0=0
if g0==0 then pp=1
if g0==1 then pp=3
Outgoing Message: 90 03 pp
So it just cycles between to the two values. Does that make sense?

works like a charm! thank you!

follow up question: I set the apc in mode 2 (alternate ableton) to unlink track selection keys from device control knobs... now leds around the knobs dont react to knob turning... how I re-enable that?
Sorry for the newbie questions, its just my first time programming bome :)

Sorry for the delay, I've been on the road with a big work project so I haven't been able to keep up with the forums.

So that is where things get a bit more complex. What kind of software are you using?

I am trying to do this same thing, apc40 is in "dumb" mode and i need to use MT to send outbound messages to get the knob leds to feedback correctly. I am using my apc40 with a dmx lighting software called Showexpress or The Lighting Controller
Just baught MT and need a lot of help!
