Thanks for the reply!
I have already looked at the document and it writes:

Binary Hexadecimal Decimal Result
10010000 01100011 01111111 0x90 0x63 0x7F 144 99 127 set the top right pad RGB LED to white
10010000 00100100 01111110 0x90 0x24 0x7E 144 36 126 set the bottom left pad RGB LED to green

But how does that map to a MIDI message in TD?
I have now tried to send ch144ctrl99 val: 127 and it lights up, but blinking red, have tried sending 1-127 and i can only get it to blink red?

@simoher I’ve gotten this to work, so definitely know it’s possible. Check whether the ‘normalize’ parameter under the ‘note’ and ‘channel’ tabs are set to the values you’re sending!

Also, @b34npour / Futurewife.tv made a C++ CHOP to send a TOP straight to the push screen! You might want to check that out, I’ve tried it and it’s so cool. touch2push — Future Wife

Thanks, that was it, had to turn normalize off. Now i can change colors, but they are still blinking…

Yes, have seen it, super cool!

Figured the blinking out too, had to send on channel 145 instead off 144. Great!

Hey simoher, I am trying to do the same thing. Would you mind sharing a file that has a proper feedback to button lights?
