LED Mapping MPD218 - Pads stop lighting when I engage them

Olivesaxer

Hello,

I have recently mapped an AKAI MPD218 to be my "Hot Cue" accessory. I have successfully mapped all pads and knobs to run the cues and the effects on all 4 decks - as I would like.

When loading a new track, the LEDs under each pad are lit to indicate if there is a hot cue associated with that pad... similar to the 1-4 cue buttons on the Z2, only these LEDs are only red, so I can't switch the color to indicate different types of Cues. All is OK though - I can work with that.

My problem is that when I activate the cue (by hitting the pad), the LED goes out and will remain out until I load a new track. There is obviously something I am missing in my mapping, but hours of tutorial videos and forum hunts later, I can't figure it out. You guys all seem to be pretty great at this stuff, so I thought I would ask.

Thanks in advance.

• set the midi range from 127 to 127, also you can try with a check in the box blend.
• for the different hotcue types, you can add a modifier condition that specifies the type, then make one command line each for every different type (with a different output colour).
