Preset change rescan

Hi,

I have set up some presets to work with my APC40.

On some I am sending messages to re-colour the clip launch buttons. However, when I return to the default mode it doesnt detect the clips until I move the cursor or some other action. Pardon my ignorance of the correct jargon, but I want to know how I get the APC40 to check with the Ableton Live session view when I return to my default preset. Is there a way I can get Bomes to do this?

thanks

Hi rishi,

I think there will be a SYSEX or MIDI message that the APC sends to reload all the feedback to the unit. I will have a look into this tonight and get back to you...

cheers,
Scott

Yeah thanks that would be great. I think I remember hearing/reading about that somewhere but cant locate it?

Hi rishi, I had the same problem and solved it by having the button that activates the "default preset" send a shift note on, note off message. You'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge of the proper terminology since I just purchased MT Pro a couple of days ago, and am just now getting into setting up custom presets for my APC40. I programed SHIFT and the TRACK SELECT 1 button to activate the default mode and as you say re-colour the clip launch buttons. I will type out my translator assignments so that it will hopefully be easier to understand (note: swallow midi message should be checked for all 4 translators).

Translator 1
stop is active
SHIFT DOWN: gz=127
Incoming
90 62 7F
Rules
gz=127
Outgoing:
(none)

Translator 2
stop is active
SHIFT UP: gz=0
Incoming
80 62 7F
Rules
gz=0
Outgoing:
(none)

Translator 3
stop is non-active
TRACK SELECT 1 DOWN: ga=127
Incoming
90 33 7F
Rules
ga=127
if gz==0 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
Outgoing:
90 62 7F

Translator 4
stop is non-active
TRACK SELECT 1 UP: ga=0
Incoming
80 33 7F
Rules
ga=0
Outgoing:
80 62 7F

Again I hope you can apply this to your project. I've only been working with MT Pro for the last 4 days and am still a little green when it comes to global variables, but this worked great for me. Let me know how it works out.

I am using this sysex message (F0 7E 00 06 01 F7) when my default preset is activated and it seems to be working.

read about it here.

Can anyone confirm this is the correct process?

It works great for me. Can't believe I missed that post in the Ableton forum. Thanks for sharing!
