I have the same issue with my windows PC. Often it completely looses the colors or at least there is no way to get the button light up, before a do a change (dimmer or color) in the midi settings. Would be great if you can fix that in one of the next updates.

Hello,

Your problem is when you open a project file ?

Here's what the MIDI controller looks like when opening the show file
to turn on all the buttons you have to press them individually one by one

D5 b9 and D5 5.0.1 same problem

D5 b8 no problem

Hello,

I've the same problem with the "old" version of the Akai APC Mini.
You must press any single button you have assigned to a midi function to get the LED shine.

Yes, I repeated the test with a show file created directly with Daslight 5.0.1 (and not like before which were show files from D5 b) and the problem persists.
I did some tests and I noticed that there are some problems even when using the buttons, the LEDs don't work correctly, in a row of buttons all associated with scenes in the usual group (with relase "group") by pressing one scene and then another in the usual group, the led of the scenes goes off and they do not light up again (the leds are set as fixed when the scene is off and flashing when the scene is on)
I found a general malfunction of the midi controller both in the LEDs and in the buttons.

Yes, that's the problem.
I'm not sure which version it was, but in an earlier beta version it works as expected.
