Live.button: Mouse click works, midi map and key map don't

It's not my patch but I'm trying to make it work right. For some reason if I mouse click a button it works as expected but if I midi map or key map the button it doesn't do anything. Seems like it's gotta be an easy fix. Something in the inspector?

Yeah probably something in the inspector. Live.button has always been a bit weird for MIDI mapping, if I recall.

Any idea what in the inspector? it's not the old problem of the button staying on when triggered, in this patch if I mouse click an event takes place but if I midi map or key map the button no matter how many times I trigger it the event isn't triggered. It's like it only outputs a bang when it's clicked with a mouse.

Use 'print' to check the actual button output when mapped.
If it sends a bang, insert [deferlow] after the button.

I had a similar issue. I had my Soundcard disconnected. Audio engine was off. Mapping was working for the built in buttons like "arm" or "solo" but not for MFL devices. I connected my Soundcard and mapping was working again. A little strange that you have to have the audio engine on in order for the mapping to work for MFL devices.
