Description

Have you ever noticed that when you midi map a control change message in Ableton Live, you lose that functionality in other instruments? FOR INSTANCE, I’ve always wanted to assign my sustain pedal to the hold button in the Arpeggiator midi device. Unfortunately, if you do that in Ableton Live now, you disable the sustain pedal everywhere else. This device lets you sustain notes as normal, but it also allows the sustain pedal to be mapped to a button, like Arpeggiator Hold.

Please note, I’m providing these details at maxforlive.com as an FYI to the community of folks here who like interesting add-ons for Ableton Live. If you have any issues, please use the form on my web site since I rarely visit this page and likely won’t see your comments.

The other trick the CC Hijack device does is it can take any incoming control change message and assign it a new number. This is useful if you have a midi controller that doesn’t allow you to change CC#’s on your knobs and sliders.
