Controlling Ableton Live track mutes w/ DT2 track mutes – Digitakt

As with on other machines, on the DT2 you have the option of allowing track mutes to send MIDI messages to external devices.

I’m trying to use them to mute/unmute tracks in Ableton Live, but this is proving difficult — the track mutes send a MIDI CC value of 0 when the track is muted and 1 when the track us unmuted. This seems to make it impossible to control the mute buttons in Live no matter what I set incoming CC min/max values to when MIDI mapping. When I mute a track on the DT, the track in Live goes mute but it does not become unmuted when I unmute on the DT.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I’m on Mac so don’t really have the option of using Bome.

I’ve tried converting the MIDI CC messages to specific MIDI notes using a Max for Live device from Abletondrummer, but then from what I understand there’s no way to route those notes to toggle Live’s track mute buttons, since I can’t map MIDI notes from a MIDI track to control parameters in the Live UI.

Kind of surprised at how difficult it is to accomplish this, seems quite simple and obvious to want to use this track mute MIDI data to mute/unmute tracks in my DAW, and there are far more usable MIDI messages that they could’ve had the mutes send, or at least it would make a lot more sense as a feature if you could determine the values yourself.

Any help appreciated, thanks!
