Thanks for this. I guess I'll just remove all the commented out stuff
and this could easily be copied form the RMX one if needed.

It seems to be working fine for me without changing any of your values.

Are you saying here we're moving away from using [ChannelN]? Not sure
what you're driving at.
I've implemented the following:
HerculesMk2.setLeds = function(value) {
for (var LED in HerculesMk2.leds) {
if (HerculesMk2.debug) print("Set LED: " + LED + " Value: " +
value.toString(16));
midi.sendShortMsg(0xB0, HerculesMk2.leds[LED], value);
}
};
called from .init using HerculesMk2.setLeds(HerculesMk2.ledOff) to clear
the leds. It's not reliable though, i.e. does not necessarily turn all
the leds off (or turn them all on for that matter, if I pass the
function HerculesMk2.ledOn). I typically have to reload the preset 2 or
three time to get the all off (this at least proves I have the led MIDI
addresses correct) Any thoughts on this?
I go the midi addresses of the leds by sending 0-127 to he device using
the jog wheels. Do we have actual spec(s) for the Mk2 anywhere?
Also, the app currently doesn't get the current fader and eq values from
the hardware and set them in mixxx accordingly when the app starts. Is
this something that will also be done via the midi script? If so I can
get on with it.
Cheers,
Jim.
