I have a beat repeat set up in ableton. I have mapped the on/off control of this device to a pad on my Novation launchpad. When I press the pad it switches the device on and when i press again it switches it off.
How can i get the device to switch on - hold the pad down and switch off when its released. Any ideas i’m certain it can be done.
[quote]chekka (31/05/2011)[hr]having a go at it here but i cant get it
is it not handier just to press on and off rather than hold ?[/quote]
Thanks for the help guys - yes i can hold it but thought it might be better if it stop once i took my finger off. Will have a play about and see if i can solve it.
Strange thing is when i map the beat repeat device to the buttons on my M-audio oxygen it lets you press and hold the buton to switch the device on and releasing the button switches off the device. I have’nt changed anything it just seems to do it by default whereas the launchpad defaults to one press on and another press off. I wonder if it is something to do with the two pieces of kit sending slightly different midi messages?
