Reloop Mixtour - how to turn off LED demo permanently?

DJ Hardware

Device Model: Original Reloop Mixtour, NOT the PRO.
(Posting here as this is the nearest there is to a reloop forum.)

I use this with a windows 10 laptop as a controller for Ableton Live.

After not being touched for a number of minutes, the Mixtour goes into LED Demo mode (flashing sequence) - Does anyone know if there any way to disable this?

It’s infuriating if I am about to do something and suddenly the LEDs start dancing around like xmas.

I know that holding both play buttons + turning power on puts you into a mode where you can set the brightness of the buttons. Wondering if there is a similar mode to disable the LED demo permanently (or at least for the duration of the session)?

Many thanks in advance!

It seems to be because the Mixtour is not natively supported by Ableton Live.

Some devices require a message to be sent from the host software, which disables the demo when received. Presumably this is sent by the DJ software that supports the Mixtour.

Reading up on it, potentially you could run one of those programs first, to disable the demo, then run Ableton Live.

For the Mixon 4 it was power on with SYNC button pressed (and no USB connection).

Maybe it works…

Edit: if it doesn’t, just mail Reloop.
