Hi,

I am using external akai midi mix withe the force.

Also the midi learn works fine.

1.
In ableton i was used that you can even switch button lights on and off(toggle) on the external midi device. Is that possible?

2. it was possible to automate value ranges. Lets say a knob turns from 9-full but the steered value should only increase from 30-80 (0-128 max possible value) how can i archieve that?

3. the shift+note leads you to setup the tonality of the track, lets say c-major. This is a super function. Loke in ableton push. But is it possible to route that parameters to external midi buttons? So i want to put lets say : major, minor, minor penta, major peta on 4 seperate external midi buttons. Also route c,x#,d,d#,… on external buttons.
Is this possible?

I can't answer all your questions, but I can answer 2) directly:

Yes. The best way to do that is to use the macro system in the Force to define your ranges. It works well; I do this all the time to keep a parameter in a sweet spot.

1. No. The Force does not have anything like Ableton's remote-control scripts, and it won't update leds on external controllers. Except if you deliberately send light-control MIDI notes and CCs to the remote controller as part of your sequence. But what sense would that make.
