Dear  all,

Can somebody give a hint on how to mute/solo a drumpad in a drumrack?

This line does not seem to work:

The pads are numbered from C1? Is C1 drumpad 1?

self.drum_device.drum_pads[1].solo = True

Thanks for the help!

self.song().tracks[0].devices[0].drum_pads[0].mute = True


Note that drumpads count from the very bottom.

You can also use just the visible drumpads

self.song().tracks[0].devices[0].visible_drum_pads[0].mute = True

Thanks John,

Yes it works, but now when i press the button it keeps “muted” can it somehow be toggled? One press mute another press unmute?

Or should i program another button to unmute?

Thanks again for the help, i feel a bit stupid….you make such an awesome program without the need to program and still it is complex 🙁

Use the Conditions section in a Reaction Action Block to check the value sent by the input
(midi controller > current velocity values> button x’s latest velocity value)

Example:

Action Block 1
If the current value of the input is 127
set mute = True

Action Block 2
If the current value of the input is 0
set mute = True

John,

Thanks for the hints all good now i have all working as i would and learned a lot about “programming” CSS.

Amazing what can be controlled in Ableton with CSS 🙂

Great app, now i have the most cheapest AKAI drumpad controller LPD8 MK2, controlling all i want!
