APC 64 40 script mod RE: Different Button Modes Toggle/Gate

[kclarkmusic]

I've made some headway from reading your blog and have been able to modify some of your script for my purposes. Thanks Hanz for the annotated code. That helped out a great deal.

One thing I could not decipher on my own however is how to change the way the buttons in the button matrix function. What I would like to do is, for one of the user pages, have the buttons act as Gate Mode. Push for "ON" and release for "OFF" rather than the default toggle mode push on, push again for off.

I have one matrix page with my beat repeats for all 8 channels, with the different subdivisions oriented vertically. I would really like to have the beat repeat engage as a Gate so I can get more creative with beat chopping without accidentally missing the downbeat. Or better yet, to assign the button mode for each individual button, as I would want my 1 Bar loop to be a toggle button, while I would like the faster subdivisions to be gate mode.

I noticed the instances where the button element was defined as momentary, which I figure is "toggle", but I couldn't find a list of the other functions it could be.

Is this possible to do with the python script? Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again. I really can't stress how much I appreciate the work that you've done. I just can't understand why Ableton hasn't offered you a job yet :-/

Cheers,
