After struggling to control the leds in my Akai MIDIMix (cheap control surface with 9 faders and 24 knobs), I managed to do it thanks to an unofficial communication protocol I found 

This is the test code if anyone wants it, any contributions are more than welcome.

Felipe, thank you so much for making this patch.

But I can't get it to work. I am using it within Ableton Live. It is communicating with my MIDImix. When it starts up it lights up all the buttons, but no matter what I do, I can't get the lights to turn off again.

I want to use it to control sends (toggle off and on), and could really do with the lights to indicate whether they are activated or not.

Thanks you very very much for making this patch. I would like to have this as a working .amxd file to work with Ableton, would you be interested in helping me out? I'll buy you a coffee. :-)

Hi Felipe,

has anybody found a solution for this problem ? 

That Akai docs say one needs to use raw midi message

velocity > 0 to turn Led  On, 0 to turn Led Off.

But Live does not send note off as 144 nn 0,

but 128 nn 64  (raw midi for note off with release velocity)

I had a similar issue while trying to control LEDs on an Electrix Tweaker. It required note-off to turn off the LEDs, but Live converts note-off to note-on velocity zero ;~;
