Solo Button in Ableton Live

Question

Was "How can I map a button to a solo in Ableton 9  so the button light corresponds to the solo light."

When I press the button on the ipad the light flashes on then right off. The solo light stays on. I have this problem with all my controllers.

xvgem100: do you have a layout or page you want to share on this? Anything would be helpful, even if it's just a proof-of-concept. Thanks!

Sorry for such late reply, I opened the Consts file of the MackieKontrol scheme(found in the Ableton directory under remote scripts) and found a MidiCC-to-NoteValue sheet/chart, from there I was able to map stuff, mostsome of the setting names are straight forward, some notsomuch.

That's great. If you ever want to share anything concrete, the forum here (see mididesigner.com/share) is the place to do that. Thanks for responding!

No Prob, I also forgot, another way of doing this is just simply adding a ghost-track w/empty AudioEffects Rack and doing double mapping

---

Sorry, what problem are you solving with ghost-track and that? I  might need a bit more of a hint here, though I'm VERY familiar with racks and can guess what a Ghost Track is. Totally irrelevant, but have you seen this vid?

Answer 1

Change Toggle Button's MIDI Min-Max to 64-127 (instead of 0-127)

This is regarding Live not sending a remote signal to turn on a light when the button is pressed, yes?

It MAY BE the same issue that we see with the NanoKontrol for no lights indicating a Rec Arm is pressed: UNLESS one changes the (toggle button) values from default of 0 to 127, to 64 to 127, which fixes Ze Problem!
