Hej,

maybe someone kan help me with the following.

Goal: I want to change individual pad colors in a pad object

Attempt: The pads object is in multicolor (multicolor 1), its adress is /Pads and it should be abled to receive color information for individual pads.
I've tried my luck with following messages over OSC:
/Pads/color 64728469 6274963 .... 8728648
/Pads @color 64738197 17263718 ... 617283
/Pads/colors {64728469, 6274963} .... {8728648, 54675}
/Pads @colors {64738197, 17263718} ... {617283, 85984}

Result: With @color I get the whole pads object to change its color (which seems right).
Every other constellation either changes all OFF-colors to pitch black without affecting the ON-colors or I get no response at all...

Please help!

hi
Have another look at 10.4 in the User Guide and the Pad Object reference . . .

The OSC command would be /Pads @colors 64738197 17263718 617283 85984 to set the Pads Off colors (4 in this case)
The On color is carried over from whatever is already set in the object - no multi-color on . . .
Set the On color with /Pads @color 64738197 17263718 or whatever, first to set the off/on color then set your multi colors for off state
if you use less then the number of Pads it will repeat on remaining Pads
