toggle vs momentary with active controller LED
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2025 10:40 am
Hello,
Here is small but important issue I've been trying to solve.
I am using a Behringer X-touch midi controller. I would like to toggle on and off rec/arm, among other buttons in Ableton. This is pretty easy to do, of course.
what i am struggling with: I want to push the button on X-touch and toggle on/off of the record button, but i want the X-touch button to light up. When in 'momentary' mode the button flashes when i touch it but doesnt stay lit up. When in toggle mode, the button lights up, but i need to push it twice - which isnt very practical.
i would expect to see a light when its armed, but this isnt the case. i need to press twice.
i want to look down at the midi controller and know whats enabled and whats not.
really simple. but also not..?
thanks for reading.
