Guys, I do love Wled and have various instances around. Also 8 do have a microphone beat sync on a mobile strip. Wled made my world better! Also my son loves it. Great to learn hardware and software configuration
This is maybe a too tricky question for me but I don’t simply know. Can a midi control Wled? Ideally I would like an Abledon Push2 step sequencer etc to control my strip/s. I don’t use mine for music much but it would be nice to connect segments to 64 buttons with RGBw backlights themselves.
Well this is a lovely example for the lights themselves but I would like to sync WLED (if possible) see example (not me, great idea by this guy) https://youtu.be/-H-UmlGf49Q?si=Xfsr0EACV9dRHZr9
Yes — MIDI can absolutely drive WLED, and a Push 2 is a great fit (pads → colours/looks, knobs → brightness/effects). Two things worth knowing.
First, theTiPE recently shared a slick single-HTML tool for playing a strip from a MIDI keyboard — worth a look (his thread “Control WLED LED Strip via MIDI keyboard”).
Second, I’ve written down an open MIDI↔WLED convention so different controllers/tools map the same way — pads → looks, CC → params, one channel per device/segment: Wled-midi — an open convention to drive WLED from any DAW / MIDI controller (MIT) . A Push 2’s 64 pads → segments/looks is exactly what it’s for.
100% local, no cloud. What are you hoping to trigger from the Push — whole-strip colours, or per-segment?
