Velocity sensitive buttons
Hi everyone.
I was wondering if it is possible to have Velocity sensitive buttons.
I’m using my spd sx pro as an control surface to trigger clips in ableton.
If you use midi map for this your can trigger at different velocity’s but if you use a control surface you can not.
At least I cannot but is it possible?
It would be usefull to trigger clips this way instead of mapping all the clips via midi.
Hi Glenn thanks for your answer.
It doesn’t seem to work.
I use the session box to set the clips to be triggered and the pads to fire the clips.
I set Velocity in the clips to 100% so it will fire at different Velocitys .
But it only works when I use midi map.
Some how if I don’t use the redbox it also doesn’t trigger the clips. But I prefer using the session box cause thats the whole point of using the spd as a controller for ableton.

I still believe there would be a way to achieve what you want but it’s difficult to provide help without a full picture of what you’re trying to achieve (there was no mention of a session box before and I don’t fully understand how you want to use velocity with the clips; is it to activate different clips or to acitivate the clip at a specific session box position with different effects or volume output?).
The difficulty of trying to help someone out on this forum is wrapping my head around what it is they actually want. Things get lost in translation.
Plus on my end, I hadn’t tried out the Reaction I made, because I was too lazy to get my device with pads out for what I thought to be straight forward.
So, if you’re still willing to figure it out, give a bit more detail about your setup and what it is you want it to do and I’ll try to be of help. I’ll also break out the old launchpad and recreate the conditions.
