Is it possible to use Max to control the illuminations of buttons on an APC40? What I'm looking to do (and have no idea where to even begin) is this:

By default, the buttons are off/dark. They light up when pressed. I am only mapping 20 of the 40 buttons in the clip launch section. I would like these buttons to be illuminated so that the user which ones to press with no other instruction. It would be nice if they changed colour when pressed/until another one is pressed, but that's really bottom (like basement bottom) priority. So far searching has turned up very little, though I'm willing to admit I'm a beginner and maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place.

It seems a patch called "APC buddy" might help, but every download link I've found is dead and while the author referenced the patch on the forums in 2009 he didn't actually post the patch.

Thanks in advance for any links, help, etc. What a great community and what awesome documentation

It is. I have an abstraction that handles this, actually, but it's not super clean or anything. Message me your email and I can send it to you.

If you want to have a whack at it yourself, you need the APC documentation guide available here:

Thanks! I shot you a message on facebook and I'm sure it went to that "other" folder ;). Thanks again! x100. I appreciate any and all help because I'm at a total loss!
