I’m using an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Akai-Professional-APC40-Performance-Clip-Launch/dp/B00J3YYSUW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2UXNLWTZVVQPX&keywords=apc40+mk2&qid=1552331303&s=gateway&sprefix=apc40+mk%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-1">APC 40 MK2</a> switched in “Alternate Ableton Live Mode” and also have tried using an MPK Mini and using both controllers in D-Pro has led to the same problem. The assigned button on the MIDI controller latches on when triggered from the Show Control interface but not vice versa. LED button latching and assigning colors are key for organization and triggering in the live music performance that I’m programming, is there a workaround in D-Pro or, if not, what is a software that you would suggest that would allow assigning color and latching to MIDI controller buttons in software that talks to Enttec DMX pro devices? <br> <br> <br> <br> I know that for a fact you won’t be able to assign colors in D-Pro. In the latest version of D-Pro, if you go in Show Control and then Properties, there is a button for Momentary (flash). There is more on <a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/begin-enttec-d-pro/(opens%20in%20a%20new%20tab)">How to Get Started with D-Pro </a>in this article.<br> <br> <br> <br> Unfortunately, with D-Pro you won’t be able to do custom light control because that’s not what it’s designed to do. But I do recommend checking out <a href="https://lightkeyapp.com/en/">Light Key</a> which is for Mac users only. Another item I recommend is Elation’s Onyx, which runs on your PC and comes with 4 outputs. You can pair this up with Show Cockpit that will be able to do custom light setups. You can read more on Onyx and this program in the articles below.<a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/how-do-i-begin-with-onyx/">How Do I Begin with Onyx?</a><a href="https://www.learnstagelighting.com/use-midi-hardware-control-lighting-console/">How do I Use MIDI Hardware to Control My Lighting Console?</a><br> <br> <br> <br> John (7:14): I’m planning on purchasing the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Enttec-70570-Controller-Software-Channels/dp/B00UNPW18Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=dmxis&qid=1552331342&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1">DMXis</a> software/hardware… I’ve been watching your DMXis Tutorials on YouTube and have learned a lot. Very informative. Thank you very much! My question for you may be an outdated one now where I’m not sure when...
