The 2.x release notes say the tonics are lit green, but this isn't the case in the factory setups. In Eigenharp Clubhouse 38 today Geert said this was a deliberate decision to keep the factory setups as close to 1.x as possible. However the 2.x installation does come with scripts (in the Lights folder) to light the tonics in the factory setup of the Alpha and Tau. The Pico has sadly been overlooked.

Geert said he would put together such a script if he had some time (for which, many thanks, Geert), so this is a note for him, as requested. If anyone's already done this then do please post the script here to save Geert the work.

Yes, the "Gateway Belcanto" is not in the Wiki yet.
Here a Pico standard Setup with lights.

Hi niksilver,

Here are two scripts to add tonic indicators for each instrument in the Pico factory setups. They'll automatically adapt based on the scale that is active.

Lights Pico Factory 1
Lights Pico Factory 2

Take care,

Geert

@geert
One more thanks over here, and yes @NothanUmber I was also guessing in the dark this one, funny is, it always turns out death simple.

@niksilver
Sharing setups is always tricky, sure I would need to add some more info to it, but what you describe and I can check it also, it's maybe a bug.

I'm using the "musical light mapping" so to not interfere with the "physical" key's that govern all the functions. It changes color to show something is underneath.
