I've seen this program called pk squared its sort of hard to find on the web but it is supposed to do exactly what we want (mapping the buttons on the left and changing the lights....) I downloaded it but just dont know how the hell to configure it... Anyone know about this program? Btw you need max msp to run the program...

a new version is out. it supports better feedback and is quite fun to use.

I think you should make the scene button remain the scene button because i'm getting quite limited with only 3 banks... Otherwise great work! I cant manage to get any feedback from traktor but i'm not that bothered. There is a slight problem in toggle mode... Press once: light comes on and pad sends midi message (it does what i've asked it to do) Press a second time: only light comes off and then it just gets all mixed up cos the light comes on when you've toggled it off.... Maybe its just me that doesnt know how to use it properly...

it doesn't make sense to not use the scene button since the device is in native mode. all its buttons are useless in regard to the original function. even if i would'nt use that button for any functionality you wouldn't be able to use it.

the problem with the toggle mode sounds strange. didn't come across it yet. could you describe it a little more precise?

Well i press a long time on the toggle and activate three pads (the ones that turn my effects on) And when i press them for the first time it works, the lights turns on so does the effect. I then press it again to turn the effect off but only the light goes out. I then press it again and the effect turns off but the light turns on!

seems to me there is an issue in your receiving software.
(is it traktor?)

you can check via midi-ox's window that a midi-ON and a midi-OFF signal is sent in correspondence to the pads being lit/unlit.

please make sure you didn't set your oiftware to 'toggle' but to 'flash' (the toggle function is done via my software.)

hard to explain on a friday night at 0:20 but please just take a look at midi-ox's output and everything will probably become clear.
