Colouring the surface
For all controls expect the Drum mode, a Note, or a Control Change matching those described in the
reports can be sent to colour the corresponding LED (if the control has any) on the following channels:
- Channel 1: Set stationary colour.
- Channel 2: Set flashing colour.
- Channel 3: Set pulsing colour.
- Channel 16: Set stationary grayscale colour (CC associated controls only).
For the Drum mode on Pads, the following channels apply:
- Channel 10: Set stationary colour.
- Channel 11: Set flashing colour.
- Channel 12: Set pulsing colour.
The colour is selected from the colour palette by the Note event’s Velocity or the Control Change’s
Value.
The following buttons accepting colour have a white LED, thus any colour displayed on them will be
shown as a shade of gray:
- Device Lock
- Arm/Select (LK 49 / 61 only)
The following buttons providing MIDI events have no LED, thus any colour sent to them will be ignored:
- Capture MIDI
- Quantise
- Click
- Undo
- Play
- Stop
- Record
- Loop
- Track Left
- Track Right
- Device Select
- Shift
