    This ought to help http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...?v=Tce739CHTgA
    You also want to map Fx panel mode to chained.

    If you want an advanced Fx with preset values this might help http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...?v=MMI9J4Ujx3Q

    If this isn't what you are looking for, please explain in more detail. Your post was a little confusing as to exactly what you are trying to achieve.

    Sorry Mate, basically I have an APC 20 with 12 buttons unused and I want to set them so I press them and they automatically set fx to what I have preset. I have my FX in chained and have four FX groups.

    Think I got it, but to make sure.....
    You want each of the 12 buttons to set the value of one effect (4 Fx units with 3 effects per unit) and turn it on to play that one effect? do you need it to also select the effect type (ie delay beatmasher etc)?

    That is simple. Just add in Fx Group
    - Effect 1 select (if you want it to select the effect type if not skip this step) Select the effect type, and the unit you want this to apply to (Fx1, Fx2, Fx3, or Fx4)

    - Effect 1 amount (if you want to set the value if not skip this step) enter the value you want. And select which Fx unit you want this to apply to

    -Effect on. And select which Fx unit you want this to apply to. Select toggle if you want it to stay on untill you press the button again, or hold if you want the effect on untill you let go of the button

    repeat for Effect 2 and 3 on the same Fx unit.

    Then repeat for the next unit selecting that unit for each step.

    Not as familiar with the LEDs, and for what you are wanting to do it sounds like some modifiers will need to be used. Which isn't as easy to explain.

    Take a look (search) in the mapping sub forum as I have seen a few threads on APC40 & 20 led mapping questions.

    Or maybe some one with a bit more knowledge on the subject can chime in.....

    ^ Second post. You'll need to set an output to the button you want to have turn red to the MIDI range of 3-3 with some modifier as a condition. You could use the same modifier at a different value to make the same button light up green (MIDI range of 1-1). To get the button to turn green when you press another button, you'll have to rely on the modifiers again.

    So, map said button A with the a modifier output of green, and another with red. Also map the rest of the buttons to turn green when button A is pressed, like an exclusive system.. Then repeat with the others.

    I think Send Monitor State could be used here, but I haven't experimented with that yet.
