MIDI latch effect?

[boatclub]

say i have a drum rack loaded into an instrument slot.

i have 16 samples loaded into it, playing them with my padkontrol or whatever.

what's the best way to do a midi latch kinda thing? where by i send a note-on to a specific sample, but it doesn't send the note off til i hit the note again.

some samples in the drum rack have a loop set on them, and i want them to keep looping over and over until i tell it to stop.

you can set this up in REAPER pretty easily. there's a great midi-latch midi effect you can place before the sampler instrument.
wondering the best way to go about doing the same thing in ableton.

thoughts?

thanks, lou.

switch pads to CCs

make them toggle

put MIDI pipe in between controller and live and have it convert the CCs to note data

yeah this seems fiddly.
is there any way to do this natively.. or with a midi effect plugin?

Why do you load the 16 samples into a drumrack?
Keep them in the clip slots and you can do the latch.

because i just do. i want to record down what i'm playing as midi clips, not just as passes into the arrangement view.

use the pK's pads in toggle mode:
'setting' > 'sw type' > move the encoder to TGL
