modifier dependent LED feedback!

[J.R.]

hi,

I don't know if you guys all know this, in case you don't, here is a way how to get automatic LED feedback dependent form the modifer layer you are in.

I guess I have to explain. Say you have two layers on your controler.



You have set a button to a "shift" modifer:

-shift button up= layer1 (M1 = 0)
-shift button down= layer2 (M1 = 1)

You have a button, which has a function dependent from the layer you are in:

- LED button1 in layer1 is "effect unit 1 on"
- LED button1 in layer2 is "effect unit 2 on"

Until now I had the problem that the status from my LED buttons don't get updated when I change the layer, or better don't get synchronised with the real status in TP.

example:

-effect unit 1 on = off
-effect unit 2 on = on

When I change the layer with my "shift" button, the LED status don't get updated to the real status in TP.

But I just discovered a way how to do it.

- Add "Send Monitor State" two times to your 'shift' button.
- One "Send Monitor State" with 'invert' the other one normal


Now your LED gets updated to the real status when you change the layer.

I hope this tutorial is not too confuse, I have to hit the sack but I just had to share this.

Good tip, thanks.

I think the upcoming Traktor Pro 1.2 solves many issues with LED output as well...
