Can I change the background colour or strip colour via midi, without changing toggle states?

If so, I don’t see how - any help?

Basically this would be for use with Ableton’s Looper Device - which has 4 states (idle, recording, playing, overdubbing) - it’d be cool to have the colour on the pedal update to reflect each state.

Right now, I’ve hacked together a multi-button scheme but it’s not perfect and is a little confusing at times, because basically.. I have to use Pedal A and E to reflect the state of one looper device, and even then it’s not quite right as I’ve still had to merge both “recording” and “overdubbing” into Pedal E just lighting up light blue. So when that happens, I know I’m “recording”.

This leaves Pedal A’s toggle states to basically be “playing” or “not playing” (so, Pedal A and E lit up = playing AND recording, ie, overdubbing).

It’s inelegant and I’d love it if it was just.. four colours available on one button to reflect the states.

The only way to do it is via SysEx:

Something simpler would be to use the Engage Preset midi input functions to trigger this:
