Hello,

can anyone help me with this LED mapping problem on K2 allen&heat when I am using Bitwig.

I have tried many ways, DrivenbyMoss, create LED script with java.. but nothing work.
I can map the button and rotary ecc without LED changing light / light off.



Many thanks

Any answer 😢

Ah, I feel your pain. The K2 is a solid controller, but getting LED feedback in Bitwig can be frustrating.

Bitwig doesn’t send LED state changes automatically, for good reason every controller is different. You have to manually send the right MIDI messages back to the K2. One trick is to set up a dummy MIDI clip that sends notes or CCs to the K2 to light things up. It’s not reactive, but it helps get some color on there.

For real feedback (like buttons reflecting on/off), you’d probably need a custom Java controller script, as they would be entirely custom to you! Sounds like you’ve already tried DrivenByMoss—unfortunately, I don’t think Flexi mode handles LED feedback for the K2 out of the box.

This guide might help if you want to go deeper with the K2, but it sounds like you didn't make it your first go in the Java/JS:

Hope you crack it—definitely been there before.
