Launchpad - dj'ing with ableton

Hi Guys,

I’m after some help with a Ableton DJ setup and a Novation launchpad. I have set up a beat repeat on an audio track and mapped one of the novation pads to the on and of button on the beat repeat. Now then when i press the pad on the novation it switches on beat repeat and when i press it agin it switches if off.

Is there anyway i can change it so that when i press the pad on the novation and leave my finger on there it activates the beat repeat and when i take my finger of it deactivates?

I dont really want to have to switch on and off - i want it to switch on whilst the pad is depressed and turn off once i take my finger off.

This would allow me a lot more control of glitchy repeats. Any help appreiated?

I think this answers your question:
