pad lighting microKontrol

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to light up the pads of the microKontrol without hitting them e.g. like in Reason when you use it with redrum. The pads light up when the drumsamples are played from within reason or after recording it when you played it yourself on the pads of course...

Could it be possible by sending back midi data to the microKontrol or something alike? It would be cool to make e.g. a Reaktor instrument that could do stuff like the monome or the yamaha tenori-on.

I'm guessing no, or "too difficult", but anyone knows something about this?

I read midi specs and yes you can.... however the midi which takes care of the pads and the lcd screens is using sysx so I do not believe you can do it without extensive programming.....
