Hi

I am trying to integrate the apc mini with qlc virtual console and I can get the button leds to light with buttons and link sliders. The problem I am having is getting the LED feedback to work on the Que list Play button or the previous and next cue. The button function works it is just the led function.

For the play button the button lights up green and stays lit. I cannot get it to go off without reseting qlc and the apc mini.
For the previous and next cue list the LED is always off so I cannot light to show it is in use.

midi config from research so far

I have set the profile to Akai APC Mini so the button names appear.

I have tried to research the answer in the documentation and in forum with no luck so hope somebody has this working and can help.

Thanks for reading

Did you configure 'custom feedback' on the play / next button?
This is the only way how you change the behaviour of your leds. Default QLC sends 0 when off and 255 when on. I guess APC mini needs other values for the leds to work correctly.

Yes the custom feedback works fine from a standard button. It is the custom feedback from functions in the cue list specifically that don't work for me.

Hello

Did someone found a wa to fix this?
my feedback works perfect for buttons but not for a cue list.
when the cue starts the button lights up green and never changes color or goes out.
All my custom feedbacks are set to different colors then green but nevertheless the button lights up green.

Thanks

hello,
I was posting today about the same issue,
my configuration:

Qlc+ 4.12.5-git / Launch Control XL / Gnome

here a test file for the developpers, you can swap the assignment between the button and the cue list:
the custom feedback works for the button but not for the cue list - Play/Pause button.

regards
