Bomes won't translate multiple footpedal pushes; why?

Post by pairajacks » Sun Nov 08, 2009 12:09 am

I've mapped a footpedal (FCB1010) using Bomes Classic to send an arrow key to Ableton Live everytime I step on pedal 1. This works once, but the second time I push pedal 1, nothing. I can see the midi signal going to Live, but the Bome's Log Window shows nothing for the second push.(The Log Window does show the FIRST pedal push, and Live correctly arrow as expected). Have I missed some setting somewhere?

My setup;

I have a midi track setup in Live, input from Delta AP Midi (my m-audio midi card), output to Midi Yoke 1.
Bomes : input = Midi Yoke 1.
Bomes : output = Midi Yoke 1.
Bomes : Midi Thru

Ableton Live 7
input: Delta AP
output: Midi Yoke1
monitor: in

What kind of mapping do you have on the actual pedal?

I'm assuming that every time you hit the pedal it is toggling between 0 and 127.

If you have the pedal as a music note, or maybe 126/127 your pedal should recognize each press as it is sending a positive signal every time instead of every other time.
