cc 64 (sustain/hold) on stock live instruments ?

Post by krisnotoff » Fri Jan 02, 2026 8:40 pm

hello ableton users and experts,

Do you know if all ableton live stock instruments are made to react by default to the cc 64 midi control change for sustain (note hold) ?
And specially for operator, analog or drift : how to hold notes with cc 64 midi control change ?

I regret that ableton don't give midi specifications for its live instruments.

They do respond as expected to it. This is assuming that the sounds programmed have a sustain amount and assuming that you have not already mapped that cc to something else, which would override the ability to use the sustain pedal (though you should still be able to edit it into clips)
