Midi-Out to give LED-feedback to Midi-Controller

[mcdroemmel]

Hello,

i use the icon i-stage midi-controller for triggering/stopping submasters and override-buttons.
for this i made a midi mapping for the controller. this works so far.
But i now want to give a visual feedback to the controller. The controller is able to change the color of the LEDs. For this i activated MIDI-Out in the settings and used MidiYoke as Output. With Midi-OX i can monitor what Freestyler sends as Midi-Information. But when pressing an override-button for example a lot of midi-commands (about 20-30) are detected by Midi-Ox.
My question. Does anybody knows who Freestyler sends Events to Midi-Out? Is there a documenation for the Midi-Events fired?

Thanx in advance.
regards
McD

no there's no documentation.
but i know what FS does..

As you say FS sends more then ONE midi note if you press a Override button...
thats because FS send Note to ALL function that are assigned on the Midi option..
so if you assinge 20 midi Functions FS will send back eachtime ALL 20 Functions...


How does FS send the midi feedback, thats realy easy.

XX = Midi channel
00 = Note
7F = Velocity (ON), 00 = OFF

if you press a button you should get: (it should work as a Flash button)
XX 00 7F (on press)
XX 00 00 (on release)

FS will Send feedback to the same Note
XX 00 7F (Led on)
or
XX 00 00 (Led off)

I don't know, does it helps, but in my case it works with feedback. At the beginning it doesn't and tried also Midi-Ox, but it makes everything worse.
But I describe all details in my configuration. Operation system is Win8.1
* The i-Stage should be connected before FS start - I've seen that in "Computer Management" doesn't appearing 4 software devices named iCON iStage V1.04 ([0-4] (Out-Out)). Out devices should be LED-feedback, but why 2???
* Device is working in "DJ" mode - then the all buttons working and all square buttons have 2-color feedback.
* In FS Midi Settings (Setup > Freestyler Setup > External Control > Midi Control > Oprions) are selected:
-MIDIcon
-Disable double trigger protection
-NoteOn - NoteOff

....but I wondering why Fog/Smoke button stops working suddenly
