Hi!
I have made a Canvas that trigger Drone Pads from the Clips in Session View via. CC-numbers. Is there a way to make selected clips (drone pads) change color when a clip is selected? (Like the loop button changes color when enabled?)

Hey @danielkoppang, if you only use AbleSet to trigger these clips, you could use a shared variable to store the latest selected clip, like this:
sendMidiCc("IAC-driver Buss 1", 1, 105, 127);
setShared("selectedAirPad", 105);
Then, set the button’s background color to “Dynamic” and use the following template:
green-${shared("selectedAirPad") === 105 ? 700 : 900}
This checks if the selected pad matches your button’s CC and uses a lighter color shade (700) instead of the default darker one (900).
Would that work for you? ![]()
Thank you so much, Leo! It worked like a dream ![]()
Now I have to figure ou if there is a way to do the same with my CLICK ON/OFF buttons. I’m using Ableton’s Internal Metronome, and I want one button to toggle it ON or OFF. I have mapped it to CC 1/60, and would try love your same scripts here, without having to make a new Return- or Audio Track for routing. Would that work?
