Hi all,

I have what is probably a stupid question.

I've been messing about with an X-Touch Mini MIDI controller in pure MIDI mode.

Ive connected it to Reaper, and I was trying to set it up to suit me, by setting 2 of the buttons to cycle through tracks. What I was trying to do was have the ring of LEDs around the encoders reflect the volume and pan status of each track as I cycled through them, by making up new Custom Actions, with Go to next/previous track as the first action, followed by Send Pan as 2-byte MIDI message and send Volume as 2-byte MIDI message.

I was hoping that this would send the volume and pan status of the track focus moved to to the volume and pan CC encoders and be reflected in the LEDs, but it does not seem to work. Have I completely missed what these actions do?

I did set the MIDI channel of the X-Touch Mini as the MIDI output for each track, just in case this made a difference, but it didn't.

Thanks for any insights you may be able to give me.

Stefan
