When using external MIDI controllers to switch the effect buttons On/Off you can set the behaviour of those buttons to toggle or momentary. For this purpose you need to make sure to have the “MIDI IN REMOTE” for the SPD-SX being switched to ON in Ableton Lives MIDI preferences. You just need to MIDI MAP those pads (MIDI notes) via Ableton Live on the M4L device parameters. You can actually use the SPD-SX pads to control those parameters (e.g. You will find this under: MENU – SYS – AUDIO IN/OUT MIDI settings for MIDI CC in Ableton Live When using the audio from Ableton Live for this, I needed to switch the AUDIO IN to MASTER (meaning Master + Phones then selected) to get the effects applied on the audio coming in.

How to set this up is explained in this video (from minute 6 on) You can as well now automate kit changes via dummy clips in Ableton Live.

Please set all your settings as they are on this picture.
