Hello, I have a quick question. Recently I've been trying to program myself MIDI instructions on my Rode mixer (pads) and I'm partially successful, but I can't get one effect to work.
I want to do something such that when “Mute” is on, the pad on the mixer will light up, and when “Mute” is turned off, the pad goes off. Currently I managed to set up a click mode, but without illumination when mute is on. Supports "CC" and "Note" commands.
Mute will be turned on by clicking the pad on the Rode mixer.
When programming MIDi on the Rode mixer, there are two modes “Momentary” (can send: Press, Relase and Press+Relase) and “Latching” (can send: ON, OFF and ON+OFF) - this mode is the one that is responsible for permanently illuminating the pad or not.
Currently I have it so that when I set “Latching”, the “Mute” option responds only the third time.
Do you have any idea how to program this?

1) You should write a device definition file if you want to be able to control LEDs from withing VirtualDJ
2) Instructions on how to create a definition file can be found here https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/ControllerDefinitionMIDI
3) For almost all functions, it's better to use the "Momentary" (aka Gate) mode for MIDI messages when it comes to controlling VirtualDJ. "Latching" (aka Toggle) mode can work too, but it usually complicates things
4) For you device definition, after the basics you will need to define a button and then either a LED or COLOR element. The LED/COLOR element on 99,9% of cases uses the same MIDI message as the button. So, if the button is note 0x1B on channel 0, then the corresponding LED most likely can also be controlled by note 0x1B on channel 0

After taking a look at https://rode.com/en-us/user-guides/rodecaster-pro-ii/using-the-smart-pads#section-setting-up-custom-midi-triggers
here are some more advices:
5) Use "Custom" messages for all pads, and not the predefined ones
6) Leave the default CC values for the buttons (pads)
7) Set all of them to send both on and off messages (on on press, off on release)
8) As stated above, define the buttons and then use the same messages to define the leds
PS: From the website its unclear whether or not the pads support MIDI feedback, but I think it's just an overlook from their part..
