Solo LED Feedback with Launch Control XL and Digitakt

Hello there!

I am currently facing the exact same problem with the digitakt.
I have very little knowledge in programming.

  • My digitakt is configured as each pad being a specific midi channel
  • The launch control xl’s pad’s are set to send a CC type message: CC94 (Toggle mode: Min:0 Max:127) - each pad to it’s specific midi channel. - I saw somewhere that it is because it doesn’t trigger does lights with cc mmessages; only with Note messages.

How could I get the leds to lighten up?

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

I split this into a new posting because it is related to a different device than the original posting.

The attached should work or get you close to what you want.

Preset 0 is just regular project initialization stuff that I put in most of my projects but not related to your question.

I have my aliases set up as follows (for testing) you will need to point them to your actual devices.

You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

I set up routing different at each preset level. Preset 1 handles messages from you controller to your Digitakt. Preset 2 handles local feedback from your controller and back to your controller.
Preset 3 handles MIDI messages from your Digitakt to your controller.

For more information about device selection, see this tutorial.

The translator in preset 1 converts a CC message to a Note message for the Digitakt.

The translator in preset 2 handles local feedback from the controller and is only needed if the Digitakt does not provide feedback with the same note as received.

The translator in preset 3 handles feedback from the Digitakt to the controller and should only be used if the Digitakt sends feedback.

So essentially, depending on your Digitakt capability, you need only preset 2 or preset 3 enable.

In the rules of the feedback translators, I have this will which determine the on or off color to send back to the Controller.

// Set desired colors here
// off color green
if qq==0 then tt=60
// on color red
else tt=15

For the translator in preset 3, I am using raw MIDI for input so it can handle both note-on and note-off messages from the Digitakt
Raw MIDI is “oo pp qq”. I look at oo to see if it is a note message. This allows me to only use one translator instead of two.

// Look for note message
rr=oo&224
// If not a note-on or off, do nothin
if rr!=128 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action

I also set up some MIDI thru routing so that anything without a translator will go through those paths untouched. The translator have the ‘Swallow’ option set so that the translated messages will not use the MIDI thru routing.
