I recently bought a smartpad. I thought great it has rgb pads at an affordable price. Problem is that these pads do not function correctly when set to midi out in traktor. It will light up but then turn off after you hit the button again. Turns out it was specifically designed for Ableton only. Any way to hack this thing into letting me assign the midi out to the lights?

The manual says there is some generic mode you can enable to let it work smoothly with other software, does not say how though.

I know. I have been searching everywhere to find out how to put it in generic mode, but have not found anything. I e-mailed the manufacturer but nada. Hopefully I can figure something out.

So I got in touch with the chinese manufacturer. They sent me a firmware update so I can use it in Generic mode. Shitty part was they sent me to emails. The first was the link to the update. I tried running the update and bricked the controller.
The second email stated the update could not be run from win7 or win8.- Equipment - 2X Technics 1200, 2X Audio Technica ATLP1240, 2X XDJ700, 2X XDJ1000 MK2, Denon DNX-1100, Mixars DUO, DJM750 MK2, NI Audio 10, NI Aduio 4, Serato SL3, 4X Shure M44-7, 2X Ortofon Pro S, 2X Numark Groove Tool, Maschine MK3, Samson Carbon 49, Roland SE-02, Novation Launchcontrol, TouchOSC, Nocation Peak, Arturia MiniBrute, Korg Volca Kick, MicroKorg (Classic), NI Komplete Audio 6

I commend this company. Hit em back up and within an hour got a script they wrote just for me to unblock the device. Then they gave me instructions on how to use VM to install it. Got it working with the new firmware, but am still unable to utilize midi output for the lighted pads. Lets see what theyre next response is.

Damn I guess that is why these are so cheap, are they full spectrum RGB leds? Or just 3-5 colors?

Just received an e-mail. Their firmware guy is working on an adjustment that will allow me to control the LED's.

So weird, replace white by red and you'd have a whole lot more colors. Originally Posted by the_bastet
