Im having a hard time getting this right. I want to have a button on my controller light up when a clip is playing and be off when it's not.

When i press Button A it plays a clip (Button A Light On, Button B Light off)
When i press Button B it stops the clip (Button B Light On, Button A Light Off)

Is this possible???

Also on another topic

is it possible to pause a clip??

Thanks

dont know if you can do that, but there is a way to do something like that:

when editing midi assigments into live, you have in each audio track at the bottom assignable "play" and "stop" button. as you have two rows beneath the encoders, you can assign one row to be the "play" button, and row under to be "stop" buttons....

but first you have to put all those buttons to "note" mode...

and you have to assign something to chose different scenes, like endles encoder, or those buttons down right on bcr, and put them to be "note" mode too.

good luck...!

I have this (sort of) working. I actually use Bome's Midi Translator for this. The buttons send out control messages that are interpreted by Bome. For example when I push button one on it will send out CC67 with value 127 and when I toggle it off it will send CC67 value 0. These two values are interpreted by Bome that sends keyboard presses to Live ("a" and "A" respectively) one assigned to "play clip" and the other to "stop" clip. A bit complicated perhaps but it works!

If you put yr clips in "toggle" mode one press of track play plays them and another stops them, if I remember right.
