Extension
ExtensionDescription
MKtl class that simplifies interfacing the Ableton Push 1 controller. Otherwise behaves as its parent MKtl.
Currently only implements an interface to set color LEDs.

Examples
// create Mktl for the Push controller, it has two ports, the 2nd one is the "default"// make sure, ableton is not running (it grabs the device)k = MPush('push');k.trace(true);// wiggle some pots / buttonsk.trace(false);k.elAt(\pad, \8, \1); // symbols represent button names (typically starting at 1), integers are indices (starting at 0)// set an action to post aftertouch valuesk.elAt(\pad, \8, \1).action = {|el| el.value.postln;}// remove actionk.elAt(\pad, \8, \1).action= nil;// on-action:k.elAt(\pad, \8, \1, \on).action = {|el| "on:\t%".format(el.value).postln}// off-action:k.elAt(\pad, \8, \1, \off).action = {|el| "off:\t%".format(el.value).postln}// set lightsk.setPadLight(k.elAt(\pad, \8, \1, \on), \green);k.setBtLight(k.elementAt(\bt, 0, 0), \green);k.setBtLight(k.elementAt(\bt, 1, 0), \blue);k.setCtlLight(k.elementAt(\btCtl), blink: \slow);k.setCtlLight(k.elementAt(\btCtl), blink: \steady);// turn off all lightsk.lightsOff
