Ignore click but still be mappable ?
If i select "ignore click" for a parameter, i am no longer able to map it to MIDI or Keystrokes. Am i missing something ?
Does this resolve your concerns?
Sorry, i should have been more specific. I’m talking about a m4l device, and the way i can map GUI elements (buttons in this case) with live’s mapping system. Whenever you select ‘ignore click’ i can’t map it in live.
You mean you want a live.button that is visible and mappable but not clickable?
Exactly !
The reason is : live.button is a bit weird when mapped to a midi note. The only way to have it outputting a bang on note on only is to set it to output a bang on transition to both zero>one and one>zero. But then, when you click it with the mouse, it sends 2 bangs.
That’s really annoying, since i have to always put 2 buttons : 1 regular button for mouse action and 1 live.button for live mapping.
Yes, that is annoying, and I’ve never understood why live.button can’t also be mappable when it’s not in ‘both’ mode. Maybe you should submit a feature request? For now, though, the only thing I can think of other than your solution is to filter out bangs that come too soon after the previous bang, but admittedly that’s not an ideal fix.
Ok ! Maybe it’s feature request time (i seem to be not alone to be bothered by live.button).
Filtering bangs is a good idea, thank you !
feature request for sure :)
but for a fix, if you know there’s always nothing but 2 bangs coming from live.button at a time, instead of trying to filter by timing, ‘zl group’ is nice too:
