Title: Multi-Function Setup
Post by: Greglor on January 31, 2015, 07:41:13 pm
Hi there,

I have just purchased a Beatstep.  I am having difficulty setting it up to sequence hardware and trigger samples in Ableton separately.

Part of my issue is with MIDI mapping in Ableton 9.  I've worked out how to map in the software but can't seem to set samples up to trigger whilst I hold a pad down, and turn off when I release the pad.  At the moment I press and release a pad and the samples continue to play.

More importantly however, when I activate the sequencer, it sequences both Ableton and my hardware.  How do I stop this from occurring? 
I'd like the sequencer to only affect the hardware via midi/CV, and be able to trigger samples on the pads in the software.  I'm sure this is possible.  Any advice greatly appreciated! 

Many thanks

Greg
