Midi Fighter Spectra lightshow?
So I was just browsing around on DJ Tech Tools and found a post about a routine done by Shawn Wasabi
(found here: http://www.djtechtools.com/2014/03/1...#disqus_thread)
I was wondering how to go about getting my midi fighter spectra lights to do something like this. Thanks in advance
EDIT: Not sure if my replies are showing up or not but I just wanted to say thanks again to dsquareddan and padi_04 for helping me out. I got everything working exactly how I want it. Thanks guys!

I've been doing some serious digging on the matter and the only way I see how to do animations for the leds on this spectra is through Traktor. Is there a way to do this in Ableton? or is there a way to use the LED options from Traktor but be able to play everything in Ableton such as Mad Zach's soundpacks and ones that I've created myself.

it's an advanced MIDI mapping feature. Depending on your software, you will need to send MIDI notes OUT to the spectra, and depending on the note & velocity you set you can control the color. It takes a while to make the animations as you have to map each individual light and step of the animation.
you can find out more about the midi mapping of the spectra here

In Ableton, to do this, best way is to set up a "dummy clip" of midi on a channel, and have it's MIDI out channel set to the one outlined in the Spectra documentation.

Hi, yeah that's exactly how it was set-up but I get nada…
It may be because I have set the lights using the MF utility?
I don't want to do any kind of resetting or anything because of this..
Any ideas?
Getting useful feedback to the MF would be killer.

Set off (rim) state to black and on state to white (button). If TRACK OUT is enabled you should be getting it already, make sure you are pointing it to the right channel too (ch.3 by default)

could i do that only on bank 4 (the one i'm not using right now) just to be sure?
