all notes off (PANIC button)

Post by gato.rui » Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:23 pm

hello,

i'm trying to make a panic button in max for live, that sends a 'all notes off' signal to a matrix of midi routings

any clues on achieving such objective? anyone has one working?

thanks!

You can send 'all notes off' just by triggering [ctlout 123] with a '0' message.

But that doesn't help if hanging notes are caused by the sustain pedal (cc 64).
To stop such notes, you need additionally trigger [ctlout 64] with a '0' message.

BTW, it's a flaw of Live that it doesn't send 'sustain off' at stop, in contrast to other DAWs.
