Hi all!

I have been using Bome for a good few months now and its been working great!

I do have a little issue with buttons lighting up incorrectly or just showing white when they have nothing assisnged.
May jusy be how I have set it up?
I run a Akai mini MK2 as channel 1 going straight through and the Launchpad coverted to Channel 2.
They are then sent via RTP midi to Daslight 5
I have added my file
If anyone has any thoughts please shout up :wink:

Hi and welcome back!

Unlike the APC-MINI MK1, the MK2 has a different color map.

In general, for brightest LEDs, you should sent MIDI Note-On on MIDI Channel 7 instead of MIDI CH1. This is true for the matric buttons only. For the bottom and side button, continue to send on MIDI CH 1.

This posting documents the different velocities for colors and more details on the APC-MINI MK2 protocol.

White would be a velocity of 3 for the APC MINI MK1 I believe this velocity is for red (but MIDI CH 1).

That sounds complcated :rofl:
So the mini needs spliting over channels 1 and 7?

Right, Ive got the mini running on 1 and 7 at last but i am now struggling to do a simple channel change on the launchpad. I would like it on 10 but im failing!

The only things I saw is from APC-MINI MK2 you need to restrict the note numbers to the matrix pads only with this rule.

// anything over 63 does not need converting
if pp>63 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action

For reverse translation, you don’t convert anything for not matrix buttons so you can disable those translators and let MIDI THRU handle it.

that better thank you!

I am still struggling to get the launchpad onto channel 10? Ive tried a few rules and all i can do it get it on to channel 2

Got it on 10!
Struggling with the colours on them both now. Is there a trick to it?

Your translator 2.0 handled MIDI CH 1 to MIDI CH 10 correctly.

Just read the LP manual. In some modes, I don’t think you can define the colors remotely. There should be a color map with velocity values in the Launchpad manual
