my MidiPlus Smartpad triggers a scene by a button perfectly, although, I also  want to have all buttons on the smartpad where a scene is setup, in a particular backlit color, controled my myDMX

A noteOn signal sends always an "on" command with specific value (127 as red, 1 as white)

A noteOff signal always turns the lights off, no matter what the value is.

So when using the noteOn/Off the light stays coloured with the value "ON", and the lights stays off with the value "OFF"

example: 

In: note on/off, ch1, Nr7, On127, Off0
This triggers my scene as should be.

for the outputs, I want to have the color on red (127) when scene is active and yellow(30) when scene is not active.

Out: Note On/Off, ch1, Nr7, On127, Off30
The output turns my light red as long as the scene is active, when scene is off or finished, the light turns off, when turning the scene back on, the light stays goed back to red(127) for as long as the scene is running.

Out: Note On, ch1, Nr7, On127, Off30
The output turns my light red(127) as long as the scene is active, when scene is off button turns yellow(30), unfortunately when turning the scene back on, the light stays yellow

Out: Note Off, ch1, Nr7, On127, Off30
The output turns my light Off as long as the scene is active, when scene is off button stays off, when turning the scene back on, the light stays off

When I put midi-OX in between with a virtual midi loopback, i have set following situation.

input: smartpad ==> myDMX3
output: myDMX3 ==> virtual loopback ==> MIDI-OX ==> smartpad

Out: Note On, ch1, Nr7, On127, Off30
I have duplicated the output message from myDMX to the loopback, so it receives it twice.
Then the first message get converted to a NoteOff 127 instead of the original NoteOn127.
The second message just stays original, except if value is 126 or 127.

So dear software devolopers, is it possible to add a checkbox option to first send NoteOff and then the NoteOn(value).

Thank you.

on the midi output end set on value from 1- 255, try 1 first see what color it is. then try 255 and see what color it is. it will be time consuming but you can prob fig it out. my apc40 mkii has a chart that shows you brightness of each color and what channel each color is. your using a no name brand controller, i tried finding the midi map color chart for you but couldnt find it. good luck
