A B buttons send midi to ableton, no midi feedback,problemes

Post by Dj-Grobe »

In some chanells i use buttons AB crossfader asignators like MIDI PUSH BUTTON for play and for stop clips, but buttons need to be prssed 2 times and no have midi feedback...................

Example one button mapped to stop, the other to play.

When i press button for play, the stop button not off.........continue with light on.
The play not have midi feedback..........and for triger again the clip need press 2 times the button...........

Sounds like you need to switch your buttons from toggle to momentary. I imagine you could do this with the editor software or on the Zero8 itself...I use my padKontrol in a similar manner.

He is correct. You must use Zero Edit to adjust the behavior of the AB buttons to momentary. Switched mode is how you have it set now.

Be sure to save your Zero Edit settings to a file on your computer so you can easily reload them, if necessary.

Zero Edit Software. I am having the same problem that was posted here - and it leads me to believe that the editor software isn't working properly, or that I missing a step so that even though I am making the changes in the software - it is not loading those changes to the mixer.

When I was programming my nanopad I would have to load the scene data to get the changes out to the nanopad. What is done with the Zero 8 as there is no similar thing?

Meaning, I change a button in the editor software to momentary - but yet nothing happens on my mixer, even after remapping it in Ableton?

I open the editor first - and then I open Ableton, I believe this is the way the manual/directions stated to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can figure things out!!

I got it working. Here's what I did, everyone.... in case you care.


1. Boot up Ableton.
2. Open ZeroEdit
3. On the top Menu Bar, select MIDI.
4. Set the MIDI Input and Outputs to Auto Detect.
5. (ZeroEdit downloads settings from Ableton)
6. Goto the line 11, and set it with the following: CC Max = 127, Min = 127, Toggle
7. Repeat procedure for rest of your channels.
8. Save and close ZeroEdit.
9. In Ableton, set the MIDI for the Cue buttons to Absolute.

That's it. Now when you hit the button once, the button lights up and activates your Cue in Ableton. Hit the button again, and the light goes out and the Cue deactivates.
