MF3D controlling LED color in Ableton Mode wrong from manual

Hi, i am using a program called VDMX. it’s for visuals, but it allows me to send & receive MIDI from devices. I am trying to send MIDI to the MF3D so that I can control the color/brightness of the button as opposed to mapping it thru the MF Utility. according to the manual, in ableton mode, http://www.djtechtools.com/downloads/documents/Midi%20Fighter%203D%20MIDI%20Map%20ABLETON.pdf

it says that MIDI messages on the same note of the button sent will control the LED color. I have it working, HOWEVER, the chart on the manual appears to be wrong. for me it seems that

0-12 - Black
13-18 - Red
19-24 - Low Red
25-30 - Orange
31-36 - Low Orange
37-42 - Yellow
43-48 - Low Yellow
49-54 - Chartruesse
55-60 - Low Chartruesse
61-66 - Green
67-72 - Low Green
73-78 - Cyan
79-84 - Low Cyan
85-90 - Blue
91-96 - Low Blue
97-102 - Purple
103-108 - Low Purple
109-114 - Pink
115-120 - Low Pink
121-127 - Black

I think what may have happened was that the manual was copied over from the TRAKTOR mode, which includes options for Brightness, White, RGB Cycle animation and beat Active Color Blink animation. I don’t have Traktor to test this, but having the MF3D in Ableton mode, this is the necessary MIDI values for the color options.

The Latest 3D firmware uses the same values the Spectra uses for colour and animations (see page 8 of the manual), if you want to use the ones in that page you need to revert to Legacy firmware.

ah ok. well thanks for the heads up. maybe your team could update the MF3D manual on that link above to reflect the changes on latest firmware?

edit: just looking at the manual for spectra now, it is close to the color values I listed above. however it is off by 1 color. for example, on the spectra manual it says black is 1-6 and red is 7-12, but in my testing i am getting black 1-12 & red 13-18 followed by low red 19-24 and so on
