Need some help to improve my LED indication for looping setup based on Ableton live.

For 1. you'll need an Ableton remote script to send the event to your device. You could use a custom MIDI CC to send the bpm value on play and on bpm change. Here's a sample script that uses this mechanic to sync track color, you can tinker with it to do what you need: https://github.com/DiegoBoy/Ableton-0xdb-CTRL/blob/main/_0xdb_CTRL/_0xdb_CTRL.py

I'm not following what you need for 2. - you want the LEDs on 2, 3 and 4 to turn white after pressing button 1 (plus timer)? What are "empty slots" in this context?
