Mapping MIDI messages to transport buttons - only works every other time i hit the switch (Nektar Pacer)
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 10:11 pm
Ive got some transport buttons (play and stop) mapped to a midi footswitch.
The MIDI is set to send a Toggle message of 127 and 0. When I hit it the first time it sends 127, when i hit it again it sends 0.
This causes the Ableton mapping to only work every other time I hit the footswitch. Because the second time I send the message its a 0.
However, if I switch the MIDI message to send 127 both times, then the mapping doesn't work at all.
I'm pretty sure momentary/trigger is not the right option because then it sends the message twice, once when I hit the switch, and then again when I release.
My midi footswitch is a nektar pacer.
Help!
