AKAI APCmini mk2 and Cue mode

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

I have finally started to explore Cue mode. It looks interesting for improvised ambient.
I’m using an AKAI APC mini mk2 control pad. The existing midi_map does a great job of triggering clips and scenes, and all of that.

One thing that is missing is being able to look at the pad and tell which clip slots are loaded.
Also, there is no feedback on the track or scene buttons to indicate which items are playing.

I noticed that it is possible to associate a color with the clip, but I don’t see a way to let the control surface know the color associated with the clip, or to set the color of a button.

Would making the button colors and other feedback work go beyond a generic midi map into a more specific (written in C) kind of control module?

Thanks!

That kind of support must be implemented as surface module, written in C++.

Thank you. I figured that would be the case.
After I figure out how to use cue mode I’ll take a look at it.
