    Default Simple LED question re: Beat Jump on APC40

    So, this is what I would like:

    Button 1
    Beat Jump -4
    not active= no led
    on push= orange

    Button 2
    Beat Jump +4
    not active= no led
    on push= orange

    but when i program this Button 1 works fine BUT once I program button 2 they seem to interact with one another. For example, if I push button 2 then button 1 lights up orange. If I push button 1 then button 2 lights up orange.

    If I remove the Beat Jump OUT settings for the LED then both operate as expected in green instead of orange.

    Ideas?

    Try inverting the output and see if that fixes it.

    Set the controller range to 5 and 5 with blend on should do it. I'm pretty sure that 5 is for orange let me know if that doesn't do it. You may need to also add in a send monitor state function but I am not 100% about that one.

    So it stays a solid orange? Hmm not sure I'll have a look at mine today and see if I can't get it working I'll post later if I find anything.

    yeah. thanks for all your help.

    not sure why I couldn't get it to behave the way I initially wanted but I ran with it and added more functionality which works just great.

    As of current,

    Beat Jump 4m (fwd or bk)
    Default=no led
    On-click=green led

    Shift+Beat Jump 32m (fwd or bk)
    Default=no led
    On-click=green led

    Deck is Playing
    Beat Jump buttons double as green Beat Phase Monitor while still retaining Beat Jump functionality.

    even though its two separate buttons, they both will outputting for that single function - beatjump

    edit; having said that, you could have swapped the output mappings, when you think about it
