Hello! :mrgreen:

I've been in touch with Akai tech support and have been informed that there is no way to update pad LED states/colours via MIDI i.e., the only way to change the lights/colours is via the editor. However, I was wondering and hoping that someone might have found otherwise... Even if it's via SysEx or some other convoluted method. So far, I've tried brute force sending all the standard note messages of all velocities to see if anything had any effect, but not found anything yet.
:hmmm:

Hi ! I'm wondering the same.
According to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aaKL38gdkY?t=91 , it seems it was possible, at least on the mk1.
I don't know if this possibility have been removed from the mk2 version, or if i just don't know how to do it, but i can't manage to do it neither.
I would be glad to know if someone have some insights :)
