Hello There
Can one key on a keyboard trigger multiple event (messages) simultaneasly, using MT
I am using it for sustainpedal in one track in Ableton using Ableton instrument. Works fine!
Want to use it to arm and disarm the track aswell. And another, actually I want to be able to able to toggle between the two tracks, controlled from one key.
Sustain pedal only active in one of the tracks.
could I use MT to send something (different note-on etc) then midi-map in Ableton?
Tried to make translators sending out note-on but so far every new translator I make cancels the action of the previous one.
I am seriously missing something very basic and I dont even know where.

Ideas?
Referrals welcome

Hi Sveva,

You can easily make a controller input send out multiple functions, just have multiple Translators with the same input but different outputs... Like this:

Code: Select all

Translator 0: Control 1
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 01 7F 
Outgoing: MIDI 90 01 7F 

Translator 1: Control 2
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 01 7F 
Outgoing: MIDI 90 02 7F 

Translator 2: Control 3
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 01 7F 
Outgoing: MIDI 90 03 7F

If you want to MIDI-Map individual commands/messages, just deactivate the other translators (the check boxes) and only the activated translator message will get through to the software.

Hope this helps!!

Scott
