How do I set a specific color on the APC Mini MK2 using this skill?

You can set colors by sending MIDI Note On messages with specific velocity values (0-127). For example, velocity 5 is Red, 13 is Yellow, and 45 is Blue.

Are the side Track and Scene buttons customizable?

These buttons have fixed colors (Red for Track, Green for Scene). The skill provides the specific velocity values needed to turn them on or make them blink.

Can I control the LED brightness levels?

Yes, brightness is managed via MIDI channels 0 through 6, where channel 0 is 10% brightness and channel 6 is the recommended 100% full brightness.

How do I create blinking or pulsing light effects?

By using MIDI channels 7-10 for pulsing effects or channels 11-15 for blinking effects, you can trigger various rhythmic LED animations.

Does this skill help with custom RGB values beyond the standard palette?

Yes, it provides the specific SysEx message format and TypeScript functions to encode standard 8-bit RGB values into the controller's required MSB/LSB format.
