Mp-201 with Ableton Live...

Hello every body.

I'm kind of nerd with midi language, so perhaps the solution is definitly simple, but , i can't figure out.

Here is my problem:

i would like to be able to control the SENDS buttons of live with the gaz pedal.
For now, i only find a way to configure CC's message on footswitches with GATE mode, but the gaz pedal seems to send nothing.
If i try with EXPRESSION mode, live doesn't receive any message.
I tried to find some information but i'm lost in a midi world ....

Any body know how to do this?

Thanks so much

should be like this:

1) put Ableton Live in MIDI mapping mode (ctrl/command + M)
2)click on a Live control like a SENDS button, knob, or whatever; this will select it for mapping
3)make sure only one EXP channel is active on the MP-201
4)move the pedal; the MP-201 should send a MIDI CC at this time

Ableton should see the MIDI CC and map it to the thing that you clicked (selected) in step 2.

does this work?

go to live preferences, midi tab..

there are three columns for each midi in or out: track, sync and remote
you have to select remote for the MIDI input you are using (in this case the mp-201). Also the midi inpu has to be listed here correctly. Is this por

i didn't see Amos was in the supoort, and by the way, thanks fort the answer by mail Amos!

Infortunatly i don't have another moog or other synth, i will try to find one to test my multipedal with, because i'm asking for myself if there is a probleme with the gazpedal.. i would like to try in CV mode...

what FYI mean? sorry i'm french, hehe i think you could imagine just by reading my posts
