Hi there,
now this is probably real simple but I can't figure it out. I have a pad-object with 3 rows and two columns. I want to create a sustain-button. Meaning: when I press a custom button, the respective pads of the pad-object I've pressed stay on till I press the custom-button again. There is a description in the manual on page 111:
So I did a test and changed the "hold" entry in the behavior section of the pad to 1. I expected that each pad I select would now stay on. But nothing is happening. Even the default behavior is gone. No pad is lightening up or sending x=1.
So what am I missing here?
Thank you guys

Hold: Its effect is similar to a sustain pedal, freezing the Object’s state as
long as its value is 1. When set to 0, if has no effect. This means
this parameter should be used with a mathematical expression
depending on other Objects. For instance, if you have a Switch
Object named Sustain in your interface, you can set the hold
parameter of a Pad to Sustain.x so the Switch gets the ability to
freeze the current lightness.
So I did a test and changed the "hold" entry in the behavior section of the pad to 1. I expected that each pad I select would now stay on. But nothing is happening. Even the default behavior is gone. No pad is lightening up or sending x=1.

It's hard to say what you're doing wrong without seeing your code. If you attach your project we'll be able to look at it. It's probably this, though.
