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

Create a play and a stop mapping.
Click on control override, for play and change the off midi setting to something other than what your button sends when it is released (something other than 0 usually).
Do the same for the stop mapping, but this time change set the on value to 0 and the off setting something other than what it sends when pressed (this is usually 127 so something other than that).

Sounds complicated. I would appreciate a video Tutorial. I think many would do. Could you maybe do one please? That would be awesome

@Tbull, here’s a full tutorial on how to do it, it’s using the old layout (css 2.7) but the settings for each mapping will be the same: https://remotify.io/how-set-single-button-control-ableton-live-play-stop/

Thx for the link, the difference between the layout is to big, it’s to complicated to do it with 2 different layouts… for method 2. I also tried method 1 but my problem is that if i release the knob it’s directly stoping. So I’m not getting there. 🙁 kind of frustrating

My Controller is sending note not CC is that maybe a reason why method 1 is not working?

If it’s a velocity sensitive pad/key then you will need to use method 2 (with a Reaction).
