4. You can apply that color to any button on the 64. So if you want the top two left buttons red, just click them (onscreen) and you'll notice the color change to red within the MF Utility 

5. To quickly color multiple LEDs one color, click (and without releasing the click) simply drag your mouse to "paint" the LEDs your chosen color. 

6. Once you've finalized all your color selections,  just hit  the blue "Send To Midi Fighter" button. You'll now see these LED colors on the 64 hardware.

7. You can actually have "off" be one color, and "on" be an alternate color. Meaning if the button is not pressed (off) it will be red, and if you press it (on), the same LED will turn white, for example . The inner circle is the "off" state, the outer circle is the "on" state. Follow the same steps (3-5) as before to achieve this.

Light Shows on the 64

Light Shows take a bit more work than a simply changing the colors of LEDs, but done right really take a performance video to the next level. Basically, LED light shows are achieved by sending velocity information to specific buttons on the controller. With a few technical how-to’s set aside, this is the foundation for a lightshow. Velocity dictates Color. 

The Basic Light Show Setup

1. Make sure your unit is sending and receiving midi information (Ableton preferences). Step 3 from "Ableton Setup" higher up on this page.

2. Make sure midi information is being sent to the right device on the right midi channel (midi fighter 64, midi channel 3). Enable this in the Midi In/Out dropdown menu above the  volume fader on your selected midi track.  Then create a midi clip that contains one note (C3), with a note length one bar so you can clearly see the LED on the 64. Note length can be adjusted later.

3. The table below shows the velocity range for each color. Choose your color and select the appropriate velocity within your MIDI clip.
