Is there a trick that would let me map a button on my APC40 to turn 'trigger' on and off as a gate?

I can make a button (I use 'STOP ALL CLIPS' since that's dangerous to hit accidentally in a live set) toggle the 'repeat' button in the Beat Repeat, but I have to hit the button once to turn it on and again to turn it off.

It would be so much easier to use if the 'repeat' button was only active while the button is pressed.

This is one option to do what you want (momentary behaviour):

On the bcf i can do this.

Does the BCF work differently than the APC40? You'd have to have a button send a CC, I guess. The APC 40 doesn't give you that option.

Sorry i realize that my post wasn't very helpful...
i don't know the APC but i highly suspect it isn't programmable at all.....
On the bcf (or almost any controller) you can define the ON/OFF behavior of a button.

Would it be a waste to assign it to Two buttons?
