I am trying to map 3 buttons to behave where when you push one ON it turns the other 2 "OFF," and making this work the same for all 3 buttons.

In other words whenever you push one of the 3 buttons to ON it always turns the other 2 "OFF"

I cant seem to figure it out.

Any help would be incredible!

Thanks

Hi Mate,

Are you looking for a corresponding midi message to go out of bomes to ableton when the buttons are turned off or have you already done that and are just looking at how the lighting of the buttons work?

If it's the lighting then you need a seperate preset that sends midi back to the apc40, simply put when you press one button it allows the midi message to pass but also send back two note off messages to the apc40 quashing the lights.....

Have a look on my preset for the loop to apc preset as all this preset does is look after the lighting of the apc as the messages back from ableton can be patchy at times (specifically the sends!)

Cheers

I have abandoned this in Bomes, currently trying to get it working in a M4L device. Still confused.
