Pads, how to turn off local feedback?

Post by nucleon »

I am creating a grid of pads that need to be lit only by the target software.

They need to send midi notes as normal, but not light unless they recieve midi.

I cant seem to find a way to turn off the local feedback.

Any help will be much apreciated, thanks.

The way I've handled this is to create two objects for that MIDI/OSC message--the one you see (pad) and a hidden one. The visible pad has both of its colors set to the inactive color. The hidden object has a script that then changes the color of the pad whenever the x value changes.

Thanks, I will try that.

Is there no method using a script and just one object?

Have you tried mapping the 'light' variable to MIDI notes as well ?

Thanks, I will try that too.

I currently have a script that changes a pad colour to a specific RGB colour on recieving a specific note velocity value.

Say the default pad on colour is red, off colour is blue, scripted colour is green.

I can send a note with a velocity to light a pad green, but then if I press that pad, it always reverts back to blue when I let go.
