Hi guys,

i recentely bought this midi controller. It works fine but how can change the light of the buttons in serato dj?

edit:

I found this document: www.behringer.com

It says, that i must route the output back to the lc1 midi controller. Does anybody know how to do this?

Kind regards,

MDG

Hi mdg14

I had a quick look, and from what I can tell, without having access to the hardware, this should work in theory:

1) Map your buttons, make sure LED Output Lighting is ticked in the MIDI tab of the setup
2) Save your mapping
3) open the mapping file with a text editor, TextWrangler is a good one for mac, SuperEdi is a good one for Windows
4) there are blocks that look something like this:

Quote:
[u]
<cue_point_set deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
<translation action_on="any">
<alias name="on" value="127"></alias>
<alias name="off" value="0"></alias>
</translation>
</cue_point_set>
</userio>


5) change the on value from 127 to 1 for all these output blocks
That should give you solid green light. Other values will cause other colors, as per the info PDF you linked.

6) save file

7) reload mapping in Serato DJ


Background: normally hardware expects 127 for ON and 0 for OFF, and those are the values Serato DJ outputs by default, but your hardware expects a value 1 for ON

Let me know if that helps

the name is whatever you give it when saving the mapping and the location is

[path to your home folder] / Music / _Serato_ / Midi / Xml

Hi mdg14
If you upload your mapping somewhere and post a link here, I can have a look

Thank you for your help. Here is the link:

I´ve tried to change the two numbers (127) but nothing worked. The mapping itself is fine, i can fire up a SP6 sample.

try like this.
slot id for output was wrong and the actual output values were wrong
also make sure "Enable Output Lighting" is checked in the MIDI setup
