FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
Thought I'd post about a feature idea I added to Ideascale the other day:
http://protools.ideascale.com/a/dtd/...ys/178067-3779 It would be great to be able to choose the colours for LED's on the various buttons. (The S3 does already have multi coloured LED's. It just needs to be implemented in the software, as it already is with the Artist Transport). It would make it easier/quicker to find the button you are looking for and would also make it clearer when you have the shift layer selected because you could have a different set of colours. e.g. If my soft keys on the left are lit up in red, I know at a glance they are controlling my layouts, if shift is enabled, they become green and I know I'm controlling my Control Room settings (a Cubase feature that I use). Would also be nice to have full control over the backlighting of the buttons. For example, you might wish to have the mute buttons slightly illuminated in orange to aid visibility in low light situations and then become strongly illuminated in yellow when solo is actually activated. See photo attached for a rough idea of what I'm talking about. This was achieved by changing some settings in the Utility Mode pages but this doesn't give you proper control over colours/intensities. |

Re: FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
Just going to give this thread a little bump. Really not sure how much attention Avid pay to the Ideascale but I do think the colour coding possibilities would be a feature that many would find useful so if that applies to you then.... give it a vote! :)

Re: FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
I'm not convinced this is possible due to the way the colour customisation is on the S3 O hope I'm proved wrong though.

Re: FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
it should be possible. by what I can see in the Eucontrol software, you can set a color like in the Avid Transport.

Re: FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
Yes, you can set a colour in the EuControl software but it doesn't actually have any effect on the S3. Seems like the software is there, the colour coded LED's are there... Avid just need to join some dots! :)

Re: FEATURE IDEA: Custom colour for soft key LED's
Why do you say that? I don't think most of the LED's are full RGB but they can still do a good range of colours -Red,orange,yellow,green, as shown in the photo in my first post.
