Hi Harold thanks for reply.
I played with what you posted in the image… to no satisfaction. It does not work.
With program ALL CC (Factory Firmware with ALL CC + Toggle) it works as shown in the Video:
Unfortunately with Custom Mode (toggle off) it does not work as shown (after a successful learning it does not switches off even if I change to LATCH). LATCH is not shown I forgot to capture it but it did not work in the test:
I think I recall somewhere (in another thread) that momentary switches messages should have a duration. If you exceed that duration the message is misinterpreted maybe.
Stranger enough in Ableton Live I can manage the Live Looper with the same configuration (Custom) that it does not work with MG3. Midi Commander was abandoned Mid Air and a lot of firmwares were issued to correct various things, including the ‘hang’ on some units. That’s why I updated the Firmware with a no hang version. That also changed the Power On + A program ALL CC moving it from ‘momentary’ to toggle = ON. Hence I had to go Custom with Ableton Live Looper (at least now with no hangs it seems) while I can use ALL CC program that’s all CC with Toggle ON. Who knows which unsolved bugs this firmware has… but it’s an interesting discovery…
That’s Ableton Definition :
Toggle and Momentary MIDI functions
- Live Versions: All
- Operating System: All
MIDI control buttons are usually capable of sending either Toggle or Momentary messages.
A Toggle MIDI message means the pedal or button sends out a value of 127 when pressed once. This does not constitute a complete message for certain parameters until it is pressed a second time and a value of 0 is sent. Most footswitches usually send Toggle by default.
A Momentary MIDI message, sends a value of 127 when pressed, and 0 when released.
And here’s the old thread topic :
