LED feedback to QuNeo

Here a test for a json file that I tried.

Thanks for replying John. Yes the controller is already selected accordingly, and the correct color values have been used in the session box. Unfortunately I believe that the only way to get LED feedback is to use the same CC or Note numbers for the output as the ones that are preset for MIDI input. That's perhaps how another user made this work. But that severely limits the possibilities of mapping the QuNeo.
So as far as I can tell the only other way is to write in the script to override the presets. In the quneo.py script linked above it says the following that might be pertinent:

def _set_mode(self, mode):
self.turn_off_all_buttons()
#CLIP LAUNCH MODE
if (mode == 0):

# BUTTONS TO TURN ON
self.stop_all_clips = self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, STOP_ALL_CLIPS, 100)
self.launch_button = self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, SLOT_LAUNCH, RED_HI)
for index in range(7):
self.mute_buttons.append(self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, TRACK_MUTE[index], GREEN_HI))
self.solo_buttons.append(self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, TRACK_SOLO[index], ORANGE_HI))
self.arm_buttons.append(self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, TRACK_ARM[index], RED_HI))
self.stop_track_buttons.append(self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, STOP_TRACK[index], 100))
for scene in range(4):
self.scene_launch_buttons.append(self.led_button(GRID_CHANNEL, SCENE_LAUNCH[scene], GREEN_LO))

But I don't enough about scripting to know where and how to put this into the remotify script manually. Maybe you could advise? I'm thinking that this issue might come up again with other controllers that also have preset MIDI input CCs and Notes?

Best,

Hi John,

In the QuNeo full manual p. 41 it says: "The LEDs on the QuNeo can be sent MIDI messages to control their behavior. When the QuNeo receives the proper MIDI data for a pad, slider, button, etc., the LEDs will respond accordingly. To learn what MIDI messages can be sent to the LEDs, consult the MIDI Input chapter of the Factory Presets Guide." And on p. 38 (the chapter referenced) it says "Use the MIDI Input guides below to find out what MIDI data to send the QuNeo to control the LEDs remotely". And on page 39 there is an image in which you can see the data that are assigned to the pads (C-2 - F#8) in grid mode with 1 note per corner (the mode I am using), also preset to receive on channel 3.

So unfortunately it does seem to be the case that LED feedback needs to be set differently to the midi values of the control itself. However, the "Ableton presets" supplied with the QuNeo modify this behavior (also stated in the manual), so it's obviously possible to change LED feedback via a script.

The script works fine otherwise. Clips are fired correctly, etc. It's only the LED feedback doesn't work, which seems to be explained by the above facts. I really hope that it will be possible to solve this in some way with Remotify, since otherwise I would need to write script manually - and thus Remotify won't be helpful for me in this particular case. Apart from this particular need it certainly seems to be a great app!

Best,
Klas

I should add that I referenced version 1.2.4 of the manual. In your version 1.1 the relevant chapter seems to be on p. 33 and onwards. /klas

Hi John, that didn't work. But I tried using the same MIDI output values as the preset MIDI Input values, and now the LED feedback works. This unfortunately limits the use of QuNeo so I need to be able to change between presets on QuNeo (the modes in Remotify is not an option for this). However, when changing between presets and/or banks on QuNeo the LED feedback is not updated (for example, the leds indicating clips in the session box are put out). Perhaps this has to do with Ableton (using value scaling as Takeover mode). One weird way to update is to press cmd+M twice (for midi mapping), but this won't work for live performance. Do you know of any other way to update the LED feedback for the session box? /Klas

Ok, good idea, I'll try that!

I meant that in Remotify I set the values to be sent to Ableton as the same ones that QuNeo is preset to receive on. I didn't do that before because by using other values I could get more out of using QuNeo.
Now it works with LED feedback for the session box pads, but I can only use the other QuNeo controllers in a more limited way, unfortunately.

Thanks for your help John!
Best,
Klas
