Quneo LED help

Postby ddjj on 01 Jul 2013, 22:20

Good day all!

I just purchased the Quneo controller recently...I am in no way a master of programming this! I have completed a few simple commands on the pads...I need help on the LED portion..for instance:

Get the play pad to flash to the beat!

If I can get someone to help maybe I can figure out the rest!

(Please don't give me the response "Read the manual and figure it out"... I have done my due diligence and am stuck at this point!


Thx

I do not have the Quneo so don't know what MIDI notes it sends.
put to get the play button to flash you meed the set the output to
Code: Select all
fam(Player)[0x1].BeatFlash


Here is an exsample from my mapping for DDJ SX
Code: Select all
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Player)[0x1].BeatFlash" value="true"/>
          <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0xb" channel="0x1" value="127"/>
        </mapping>
        <mapping>
          <control alias="fam(Player)[0x1].BeatFlash" value="false"/>
          <MIDI type="Note" parameter="0xb" channel="0x1" value="0"/>
        </mapping>


hope this is of some help

Thx Gullum:

So I just copy and paste this into the output mappings? Quneo has an editor as well....do I do anything in that?

you can't just copy and past no because that is the MIDI message for DDJ SX play button on deck 1 parameter="0xb" is the MIDI note channel="0x1" is for MIDI channel

so you need to know what MIDI note the led is

but if the MIDI out (LED) is the same as the MIDI in you can do a serch in mapper file for fam(Player)[0x1].PlayPause to see what note is sends

ddjj,

I don't use the beatflash output, but what you have to do is use Cross to send back the CC of the button you want on the QuNeo according to the QuNeo manual. In the LED feedback section near the end of the book, it describes how to get LED's lit by sending inputs to it, and which modes do what. The QuNeo has 3 different requirements for LED feedback depending on what setting the pads are in, Grid or drum, and if you want to do other programming with a 1 note per corner setting. Each is on a different channel.

Also, Very important
If you have the quneo set to "Local LED Control", no matter how you program Cross, you will not get the feedback you want. You have to go into the QuNeo editor, select the buttons you want to have feedback on, and uncheck the "Local LED Control" buttons. By default, they are on for quite a few of the preset, which might be why you are banging your head against the wall.

Hope it helps.

Thanks DJ Phaidon:

yep, a whole lot of banging going on! What do you use to make the LEDs flash to the beat of the music then? I'll use your suggestions and let you know how it works out!

Thanks

DJ Phaidon is right on the money specially about making sure Quneo is in remote LED mode. I created a conversion table to guide me when I am mapping output for Quneo.

In the file you will see 3 values listed as N Q and H

N is the actual note value on the table
Q is the Quneo value for a particular LED
H is the equivalent hexadecimal value that you use in Cross to tell the Quneo to activate the LED.

Some values are color coded, those are the colors that Quneo LEDs will turn on.

Keep in mind that Quneo has 8 LEDs per pad 4 red and 4 Green.

All LED on at 127 intensity will give you orange.
A green LED at 127 and a red LED at 15 in the same location will make it light up yellow.
Many combinations are possible.
I use the combinations make make Quneo light up in tune with Cross color scheme with the decks and cue points.

Will post my Quneo mapping later today or tomorrow. I just have to make the instructions which is the boring part really. :mrgreen:
My mapping is for 2 decks (+2 decks with less controll, for example simple loops) with many functions, fx, collection browsing, loading, loops, beatgrid, slip mode etc. For external mixer.
