Play/stop on 1 Button
Hello,
I have a controller and try to map play and stop on 1 button. But I’m not getting there. Can someone please help me how to do it? Thx
@johnC I have followed method 2 exactly as it is described. I work as a process control engineer by day, so this type of programming is something I have worked with my whole career. Should be really straight forward. I even downloaded your JSON and compared the script and exported the reaction file to bring it into my script. When I press play the first time, the song starts, but when I press it the second time, the play button in Ableton flashes off as long as I keep the button pressed, but then starts playing again as soon as I release it. What am I doing wrong here?

It sounds like your button may be momentary rather than toggle meaning it sends an on velocity value when you press it and off velocity value when you release it.
Either change it to a toggle in the hardware or add an extra condition which checks that the latest velocity value sent by the button is greater than 0.
Condition:
midi controller > current velocity values > button…
(Number) is greater than
0
I’ve updated the article with this info and a screenshot.
