How to make the LEDs return to their default (factory) state

Roosenvelt

Hello everyone, how are you, I have a question. If I have a mapping assigned to a pad that lights up red when M6=1, but when I switch back to M6=0 it stays red, I have to press Shift to make it return to its original color (M6=0 is the native mapping and I'm using a Traktor Kontrol S3). What can I do so that when I switch back to M6=0, it automatically changes to its correct color?

To change LED states back to the underlying values (colour, brightness), the qml mapping that you are overriding needs an update event.

One example that you can use as an already working demo:

Say you are mapping the following.

Modifier #1, value 1 (button type: HOLD), assigned to SHIFT button (do not check override box)

Out of the box, you see that LED states of SYNC and MASTER button changes with the use of SHIFT button (deck colour to white colour and back).

If you assign any LED output to the SYNC or MASTER button with the modfier condition M1 = 0 (or 1), you can see that pushing or releasing the SHIFT button will change between your designated LED settings for the selected SHIFT layer and the original LED output for the other SHIFT layer.

Why? Pressing or releasing the SHIFT button (recall: you did not override the underlying qml function for the button, merely added an additional modifier for your mapping) creates an event in the qml code.

Solution? You will need to create a qml-defined state that changes exactly the same way that you change your selected modifer (M6 in your case) and use that state as a condition for the underlying second (the one with the LED troubles) button's function, deactivating it when M6 = 1 and reactivating it when M6 = 0 again (this last bit is the required event).

I'm sure this could have been written much clearer, sorry. I dislike this forum's text editor. Just awful for decently long texts.
