[...] Sure, Launchpad is no competition to the monome, but it is a matter of time before the unit’s handshaking is hacked and Launchpad is able to run monome apps, just like the APC40. [...]

I am also color blind and think the current LED colors are difficult to distinguish.

Has anyone got any pics and suggestions of what’s underneath the case / how easy it will be to replace the LEDs with more distinguishable colors?

Thanks

Also looking for a way to change the color on the clip matrix (I’m color blind and can’t tell the bloody orange and amber apart). I was actually thinking of changing out the leds but I wanted to know if anyone had opened it up and seen if it’s possible to do so.

Thanks much.

@dstroud or other pros:

I would like to change the color of the “not playing clips” to white or something similar. Which MIDI note messages do I have to transform – and which velocity value should it be?

Is it possible to do this in some kind of config file or do I have to use Midi Pipe or Bome’s?

Thanks for your help

@apc41

actually the third sysex string of Live-APC dialogue changes with ableton version…
last three bytes of the sysex string (the ones before the closing byte 247) actually inform the APC40 of Live version.
we can see in your string you’re using Live 7.0.16
I think that actually the APC doesn’t bother which version of Live do you have… but just to add to the infos around…
