AKAI LPD8 - MIDI feedback for drum pad lighting?

[Mevi]

Hi,

My LPD8 arrived today, so I'll be putting it in my flight case and setting it up for live.

I don't expect any problems at all setting it up to control on screen knobs/faders, trigger FPC, live mode, etc., but I really don't want to be squinting at FLS tiny graphics on my hi-res laptop screen when I'm playing out!

One thing that would be nice is to have MIDI feedback to the LPD so that, for example, the lighting on the pads reflect which patterns in "live-mode" are currently active. I've seen it done in Ableton Live, anyway.

Is this do-able in FLS? I know motorised fader feedback is available for Mackie emulation, but perhaps I need a third party MIDI app to do the trick?

Many thanks
