Hi, you will need to iterate through the LED’s with a repeating timer see the following example. I use the global variable ga with both the note number and the color (velocity). I used the first mute button under the matrix LED’s as the trigger.

The timer method is used whenever you want to bulk update LED’s many times, you just want to update just one or a subset. I usually use timer updates with a trigger of enabling a preset so that each preset can have it’s own default light pattern. It is hard to tell from the log if it worked but if you had a full multicolor display on your APC-MINI for all of the matrix buttons then it should work.

You need to send note-on messages. [This post](https://forum.bome.com/t/new-akai-pro-apc-mini-mk2-initial-led-mapping-summary/4752) explains the notes needed and the colors needed. Please try to study and try to understand it. If you need me to do it for your, then I’m available for hire. This forum provides free Q&A, tips and tricks but not full solutions. There are also [many tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzwHsH6-VZ8Qy_dxsf0LqorjarvnDIFiy) we have created on specific subjects to help you on the way. [This one](https://youtu.be/dLGgOwMNfhw) describes turning on and off LEDs but not specific to your device.
