Light guides

I know this will be a dah moment for me. For instance I have Starlight loaded in Kontakt 8, and this could be any of many instruments. All the LED's are blue but depending on what patch is loaded say all C's and F#'s are green. Many different versions of this example. What is this?

    Usually when some keys are different colours they have some specific action that alters the way the instrument reacts.

    Just to check, do you mean F9 Audio's Starlight instrument or Native Instruments Straylight?

    Whoops I misspelled, Native Instruments Straylight. But that's just an example, many other's do this. I understand the colored keys for different functionality, percussions instruments, modifiers etc. But in this case I load a patch and all keys are blue except for say C2 which is green. Or on another patch all keys are blue, but say C E and F are green across the full 88. I'll take a photo later today to show the forum. Thanks

    @Edenorchestra Are you still suffering from this issue? Can we get some pictures? If you open the same libraries in the Komplete Kontrol plug-in or standalone application, do you get the same behaviour?

    So I played around last evening and I am seeing this on Starlight, I thought others were perhaps showing the same issue, but I have not found other instruments that do so. I'm still wondering if it's not a flaw and that I am just not understanding. Oddly it's not random, meaning given a particular preset, the anomalies are consistently reproduced. Note that the sounds are consistent, it's not like the "green" light guides are out of sync with the scale. See the photos. Thanks for responding
