You need to register your Professional Full version in order to download any kind of mapper - makes sence because you need the Pro Full to use it.

The LED 7.1 needs to be mapped as ..
get constant x
where x is a value that represents the color u wish to use.
EDIT, well the above would work, if the Leds were mapped that way, but thats not the case..
Each Button has some pre-defined colors. SO you will find some KEYS like LED_7.1_GREEN, LED_7.1_AMBER etc..
You need to have ONLY one mapped and the others as "nothing" or empty
The one you wish to light up, you need to map it as .. on

Hello
This is fun stuff to play with :)
I tried changing a few of the colors by changing the xml file values. But it doesn't seem to have any impact, even after at laptop restart. Does anybody know why?

What button LED are you trying to change and to what color(s)?

I'm setting up all the bottom buttons for loop and loop_roll purposes, except the outer ones used for the meter. So I tried to make them all green, by only leaving one line for the two red ones (8.3 and 8.6) in the xml file, and setting it to the same value as the green ones
But they all looks the same (the red ones are still red), even after a restart

The way the LEDs are mapped, you need to have ONLY ONE color as true.
So if you set e.g. LED_8.3 as on or an action that returns true, then all the other colors for the same Pad need to be false (off)

Hmm... I'm not sure I understand
What i tried doing was changing the LaunchPad OPD device.xml file, where the color codes seem to be stored.
This bit:
...
<button note="113" name="8.2" />
<led note="113" value="0x28" zero="" name="LED_8.2" />
<button note="114" name="8.3" />
<led note="114" value="0x05" zero="" name="LED1_8.3" />
<led note="114" value="0x03" zero="" name="LED2_8.3" />
<button note="115" name="8.4" />
<led note="115" value="0x28" zero="" name="LED_8.4" />
...
Into this:
...
<button note="113" name="8.2" />
<led note="113" value="0x28" zero="" name="LED_8.2" />
<button note="114" name="8.3" />
<led note="114" value="0x28" zero="" name="LED_8.3" />
<button note="115" name="8.4" />
<led note="115" value="0x28" zero="" name="LED_8.4" />
...
- and the same for 8.6
Looking at the mapper file it doesn't look like it has any color codes (only on/off and so on), so I assumed that it was the device file that needed to be changed for changing colors
Is this wrong?
This is of course not a high priority - it works fine without changing the colors

value="number" represents the color of the Led. Different values offer different color (even flashing colors)
http://d19ulaff0trnck.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/4080/launchpad-programmers-reference.pdf
So this..
<button note="114" name="8.3" />
<led note="114" value="0x05" zero="" name="LED1_8.3" />
<led note="114" value="0x03" zero="" name="LED2_8.3" />
will probably offer 2 different colors for the same LED 8.3
In your mapper, you need only one to provide true. Try to map
LED1_8.3-->on
LED2_8.3-->off
you will get one color.
and if you map it like ..
LED1_8.3-->off
LED2_8.3-->on
you will get probably a different color
The best way of course would be to map the leds using min and max values and use get constant in the mapper. We ll get in touch with Superaceman and will update the definition.

After much work with Djdad, we have updated the mapper and definition files so it is more easy to change LED colors. All colors are now changed through the mapping file instead of the device file and can be altered on the spot without having to relaunch the software.
You can define the color, intensity and flashing of each LED by using the action: get constant x. Where x is a decimal number from 0.00 to 1.00
Some useful values
0.57=Off
0.10=RED LOW
0.12=RED FULL
0.23=AMBER LOW
0.49=AMBER FULL
0.22=GREEN LOW
0.47=GREEN FULL
0.09=FLASH RED
0.4645=FLASH AMBER
0.441=FLASH GREEN
Both the LaunchPad and LaunchPad S OPD versions have been updated with this code and are labeled as version 2.1 in the original download areas:

Hello
Thank you for this. I've downloaded at installed it, at it looks like something I can figure out how to use :-)
I'll try it out for real when I get home to my Launchpad

Hi,
Have following problem/situation.
I’m adapting the mapper to my personal usage. (Thanks to SuperAceMan and DJdad for the great work you did in this)
As I like to control some of my video effects with the Launchpad, I’ve linked a few of them to some buttons.
I have doubled the clipbank.dll to have more clips for selecting.
As I don’t want to load clipbank video’s on top of each other, I have used the verb video_fx_clear, but this clears also other active video plugins (tittler or showlogo plugin).
How can I avoid that also these plugins are deactivated. (Only want the clipbank plugin to be deactivated)
Now if it would always be these two plugins, I could map them hardcoded, but this isn’t the case so I’m looking for another solution.
I have tried with “Video_fx_clear ‘name of clipbank’, but this is not working.
My idea was that I would create a few variables the can give me for certain video plugins the status 1 or 0 (active or not)
Then I would use the video_fx_clear function and check the variables – if status 1, reactivate the video plugin.
Problem is I don’t know how to to this. Anybody can help or have other suggestions?
Here’s a sample of the code I’ve used so far.
Mapping for the video effects
<map value="Y1" action="page "effects" & video_fx_select "backdrop" & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="Y2" action="page "effects" & video_fx_select "Boom_Auto" & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="Y3" action="page "effects" & video_fx_select "Videorotation" & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="Y4" action="page "effects" & video_fx_select "ShowLogo" & video_fx & page "browser"" />
Mapping for the clipbanks
<map value="1.8" action="page "effects" & video_fx_clear & video_fx_select "001_Clipbanks\Clipbank_Disco Silver" & video_fx_button+1 & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="2.8" action="page "effects" & video_fx_clear & video_fx_select "001_Clipbanks\Clipbank_Initial" & video_fx_button+1 & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="3.8" action="page "effects" & video_fx_clear & video_fx_select "001_Clipbanks\Clipbank_ShadowDancers" & video_fx_button+1 & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="4.8" action="page "effects" & video_fx_clear & video_fx_select "001_Clipbanks\Clipbank_Themas" & video_fx_button+1 & video_fx & page "browser"" />
<map value="5.8" action="page "effects" & video_fx_clear & video_fx_select "001_Clipbanks\Clipbank_Varia" & video_fx_button+1 & video_fx & page "browser"" />

Your question should be posted to Software forums, as its not related to any specific unit, such as the Launchpad.
However, here is a tip you can try . Use something like that to check if another Video effect is active or not.
video_fx_select 'videoEffectName_1' & video_fx on ? video_fx off & video_fx_select 'videoEffectName_2' & video_fx : video_fx_select 'videoEffectName_2' & video_fx
But i warn you, final scripts arel going to be looong if u need to check all the effects ;)

Sorry for posting it in this thread
Anyhow thanks for the tip.
I'm only using 5 different video-effects, but indeed even then it will be a long script.
