Loop Mapping / APC40 / LED Help?

[Lysgaard]

Hey, I'm trying to figure out this LED stuff myself, with my own APC...
Any chance on a simple guide to the mapping? I've mapped plenty stuff before but I'm clueless with the LEDs.

the led mapping for the most part works the same...

1. choose an OUT function
2. assign it to a button (or whatever else); there is no learn function
3. then select the led state for on and off... led states are listed in the manual and are something like 1-6, each number representing a color and if its blinking or not

ok, thanks!
This is my issue: having my "activate loop" button light up when the loop is active. Starting simple =)
I've mapped the button itself no prob, and set up an out to the same note value, midi range min=0 max=4. But the button only lights up when pressed, how do I make it toggle? Also not sure if I should map that to "loop active" or "loop set".
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it!

Add a Send Monitor State in to that button, tick invert

Baaah, this is embarassing, still not working.
You are referring to add out>global>send monitor state, right? Any controller/midi range stuff for that? So weird, it should work by now...

yup.

post a screenshot of the out mapping

Okay, see it sometimes work when I press the button SUPER fast. I read somewhere that the APC sends an off message when the button is released, so I need to work around that maybe? I'll owe you a beer after this

Here ya go... What do you think?
