hi, i'm an user of qlc +. since i've decided to ampliate my hardware setup i've brought an akai apc mini. now the problem is the led when i press the button. if i press the light turn on, but when i press another time to off the function, it doesn't light off. so my question is: there's a mode to remap the midi channel of the device?

Lower value is the OFF function, and Upper value is the ON function
on the APC mini i use them like this:
0=off
2= green led
4= green flashing
6= red led
8= red flashing
10= yellow led
12= yellow flashing

so if u put for example
lower value= 0
upper value=2
u have it off and green on when active

We have the same issue, but i figured it out by myself. instead of putting zero on lower value just put 1 then to the upper depends on what color you need. so for the green just input the value to 2 and 4 if you want to blink the green color.

now i'm hoping that there's another different color to add on this button, like magenta, blue or white. this is cool so that you can design it by the color of lights you are pressing.

Or you could have read the documentation: https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/midiplugin.html

AFAIK the APC mini doesn't have all colors. I think the MKII does.
From this page: http://www.akaipro.com/products/pad-con ... s/apc-mini
APC mini features an expanded 8x8 multicolor clip-launching grid that’s built for hands-on exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 64 responsive triggers. Tri-color lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses—loaded, playing, and recording—so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer.
In this page instead: http://www.akaipro.com/products/pad-con ... pc-40-mkii
APC40 mkII features a 5x8 RGB clip-launching grid that’s built for dexterous exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 40 responsive triggers. RGB lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses—loaded, playing, and recording—so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer.

Dear Friends,

I also use the Akai mini controller, and it seems that it works except the led buttons. I tried like it was described here and also tried
to do like in the documentation. I am not sure, i type in for example the values like described in the manual:

"For example with lower = 6 and upper = 2 the result will be: Function Off -> red LED, Function On -> green LEDmentation "

but i don´t get any visual feedback. I attached screenshot (sorry its german language setup), is this the right fields i have
to put in the values? Image

Thank you very much for help.

Did you in setup 'allow feedback" for the midi channel? If this isn't selected, QLC+ isn't sending nothing at all
