Engine.getKeyColour()

[A Former User]

I have a custom colour scheme for my keyboard that changes depending on the expansion, and I need to change the colour of 1 key when pressed, then change it back on noteOff, so would be great if I could store the colour as a local var, then just restore it afterwards.

@iamlamprey Can't you store the key colours when you set them?

[A Former User]

@d-healey So push them into an array or something? I'd still have to use a case statement for each expansion

[d.healey]

@iamlamprey

Yeah just put the colour of each key in an array at the time you set the key colour.

All good just have to rework some bits of code then :) cheers

@iamlamprey You can also add a .JSON file containing some specific data in the AdditionalSourceCode of your expansion.

var e = expHandler.getCurrentExpansion();
var data = e.loadDataFile("data.json");

and accessing data like this:
data.colour

the JSON file should look like this

{
"colour": "red",
}

Cheers!
