MIDI activity light, always on during use.

I'm using two GCX units, controlled by Ableton.
the loops switch on and off fine, but, I assume because of the way ableton does midi notes, the MIDI activity light is always solidly lit.
I have no loss in functionality, I just want to verify that no harm will come to my GCXs from having a signal constantly sent to those relays, or however it works.

thanks
(hope that was moderately understandable)

If the LED is lit up solid, I would assume that you have first sent the MIDI SysEx message that configures the two standard GCX units to listen to a different set of Control Change messages. If so, then this is normal. Also, the LEDs will flash whenever MIDI Data is sent to the GCXs.

That's great to hear. My mind can rest now! :)

yes, i've sent a sysex message to manually assign them as #1 and #2.

Thanks!
