Hello All,

I am using MPC as a plug-in within Ableton live. I have mapped the Play/Start button on my MPCLive II to the Play button in Ableton. Unfortunately the Play Start button on the MPC triggers the Play function in Ableton on the press AND release of the button so there is a "stutter" start each time I press and release the button on the MPC.

I attempted every thing that I know of. There is no function within live to change this behavior, and the midi editing functions on the MPC software and hardware do not allow the editing of that buttons behavior.

Does anyone know how to stop this? It seems like a very simple issue, Im surprised and frustrated that there does not seem to be an easy solution to this issue.

Any help is appreciated!
