Unfortunately, I can’t find a way to see MIDI events coming from djay despite selecting “Act as a destination for other programs” checkbox. The following attachment shows triggering the first pad (and the first Kick loop in djay) and then hitting the pad again to stop the loop. When I press a pad, I get immediate on/off notes as expected. SmartPAD seems to be sending signals normally. So test in all situations Test seems to only work once and then SmartPAD ignores anymore. I have to reset the SmartPAD by changing to a different mode then back again to be able to send Test events to change pad colors again. I can also make LEDs light up using Test in other colors by changing the Value min/max numbers, but, like above tests, once the color has been triggered, colors won’t change on subsequent Test MIDI out signals even if I change the values to other colors. Switching MIDI maps in djay’s MIDI configuration window when SmartPAD is in correct mode will cause LEDs to illuminate like a refresh. Afterward, all pads work and trigger loops and the white LEDs result even though all other LEDs are off. NOTE: All pads unlit can be achieved by switching modes on the SmartPAD (it has 4 total) and then switching back to the original mode (which is attached to MIDI notes aligned with the djay MIDI map I’ve made). Test 3: All LEDs are off and no pads triggered nor samples played. Hitting Test on any pads not triggered turns them white and no change on repeated Test attempts.
Nothing more happens when trying Test again. Test 2: All LEDs are on and no pads triggered nor samples played. Hitting Test on any pads not triggered (those in the colors loaded with) turns them white and no change on repeated Test attempts. Nothing happens when hitting Test repeatedly on any white buttons. Test 1: All LEDs are on and hitting pads to start/stop loops (which causes pads to turn white). It seems like the SmartPAD accepts these MIDI out signals from djay at first but then maybe ignores them afterward.
I believe the test button is sending something but it’s not clear how or when the SmartPAD is accepting them. When I start a loop then stop it with the button staying white, test doesn’t change the color. Thanks again for looking into this, Anders. Value: max 33 (this changes the color of the LED lit when pushed once, in this case cyan (apparently, numbers 33-48 all will make a cyan color appear on the buttons LED while other number sets within the range 0-32 and 49-127 allow the 6 other LED colors available in this MIDIPLUS SuperPAD device) Value: min 1 (this one causes no change when set to 0 and allocates different colors in blocks of numbers (like 33-48 is cyan) and changes color when I push the pad the second time while staying that color on subsequent pad triggering, see max below for first push color) Message: Channel 1 / Note on/off (this has to be Channel 1 or no lighting happens at all on Channels 2-16, while Control Change (CC) doesn’t seem to allow any LED access)Ĭontrol: 0 (00h) (this activates the LED of the top leftmost number 1 position pad) This is accomplished with the MIDI Out selected and the following parameters set: When I toggle the loop off again, the LED can only turn to white (or no color change) and then won’t change at all on subsequent button presses regardless. So far this is what I have been able to achieve with MIDI editing in djay:Īll I can get it to do is start up the MIDIPLUS SuperPAD unlit, activate a chosen color when I toggle a loop on, and that’s it.
