Komplete Kontrol s49 mkii to change key colours in Ableton Live 11

ceoldearg

I need my komplete kontrol s49 mk2 to change key colours in Ableton live 11 and for the key lights to follow midi command. Is there anyway to do this easily(ish) inside Ableton 11?

In Komplete Kontrol standalone I can change the key colours easily (as seen in the photo) but to get it really interactive I'd love to be able to do this inside Ableton and for the lights on my s49 mk2 to respond to midi comand from Ableton. Any helps much appreciated :)

I think that to set the Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 light guide then you need to make a Midi template and load that and I am not sure that you can do that inside the DAW ?

Otherwise then please refer to page 75 in the manual. (Using the MIDI Assignment Editor) and for general Ableton Live integration see page 97

You can't do what you are asking, the LED illumination side is one weak point of KK, it can be setup via a template but that is it, no way to control the colours via midi signals at all so no "interactive" ability (such as highlighting a key in a specific colour based on say velocity). You can send MIDI out of Live tho to the keyboard from a track and it will highlight the LED for the keys, but only a brighter version of the keys colour.
