Novation Launchpad mini - turn off the lights?!?

I run an improv company and our number of readily available sound effects for the tech has grown and grown: so I decided to buy a launchpad mini.
  • I've managed to set up all the cues to run (toggled) from each key
    I've also managed to send the midi code back to Launchpad so that the LED goes ON when a cue is triggered.
So far: all cool!

My problem is this: I can't send a midi cue to turn OFF the LED when I toggle the cue off. Any ideas? I've tried sub-cues that run 'after end of previous sub-cue' but that doesn't work...

I'd love some help please - because I'm getting excited about the potential of SCS with the Launchpad!!

So I've discovered that I can create a cue that follows on instantly to the 'hot key' cue. This sends the MIDI back to turn off the light. Yay!

BUT ONLY ONCE!!

One this 'auto start' cue has played once it then sets itself as COMPLETE and won't play again (i.e. won't turn off the LEDS on the launchpad).

My question: Is there a way to stop cues (that automatically run) from being set to COMPLETE?

Could you email me a diagnostic file so I can see what you've done so far? You can create this file by selecting 'Create Diagnostic File' from the drop-down menu displayed when you click the Help button in the main window. The file will be saved in a folder named "SCS Diagnostics" under "Documents" or "My Documents".
