Script to make stop change button color

[zicman06]

Hello i'm New on this Forum , I try actually to build a simple session on Ipad Lemur with ableton Live 8 !!!! What I try to do is very simple just used Pad to trig the sequence in ableton live 8 , the Pad contain the name and his color is Blue , when I press and send the sequence the button become Yellow , What I want to do it's a script than when i press the Pad stop , he make change the color back to blue !!!
I hope it's clear , cause for know when i send a sequence the pad stay yellow even i press stop and if i send another sequence the over pad because yellow and at the end you don't know the song you play ???

so if someday can give me a script , i used the Ipad in Midi with iRig midi plug direct on my midi card who is plug in usb in my computer


thank u for your response !!!!!

welcome to the forum.

I assume you use a Switches object that goes to yellow when it is on. Blue: Switches.x=0, yellow: Switches.x=1. Now you can add a script in the play button (probably a Pads object):

Switches.x=0;

executed on expression x.

I hope this helps, tell us how it is going.

i forgot to say that i used CC to control ableton so my Pad transmit a CC control and the Stop used the CC1 to stop , i am really a beginner in a script
if i understand it's better to used a switch button , but i need to try first to know , in fact i don't used the play button when i press the Pad he play the sequence directly !!!!

thank u very much for your response i will try and let u know

but if you have another idea with a full script i will enjoy !!!!!

maybe you can post your template so that we can have a look. One thing to remember: Lemur can change the appearance of objects, but if it depends on feedback from the software, one first has to make sure the software is sending this feedback.

simply continue with this method. Add additional scripts, executed by the other buttons.
