Description

This is my first Max patch so would love any feedback on how I could improve it.

All this patch does is makes the Clip Stop buttons light up if there are playing clips in the track. I can't help but feel this is how the APC40 should work as standard because you never know what stop buttons to hit if you scroll down to a place where the clips which are active aren't visible on the APC button matrix.

To use this patch simply load it up on an empty midi track and select your APC40 controller and away you go.

The one shortcut I took with this patch it that I poll for the track offset every 200ms rather than tracking changes, the reason for this is sadly it seems you can't observe the offsets of the red box so the alternative would be to observe every button which could change the focus of the red box and to be honest I just can't be bothered to do that right now. Maybe in the future ;-)
