I think you can do it with custom midi but I just used a script for that:

Use a custom button, set to switch behavior
add a script, call it OnChange or whatever, select On Expression for the trigger
 ctlout(0,30+x,127,1);
will send a cc31 if the button is down and cc30 when up
Hi
To upload to forum -first compress the file - zip or similar . .

For the Button issue - the 30 to 31 in the controller section is for arrays of buttons
You need to either remove MIDI assign here or just deselect 'x' variable in Project pane.

Your OnChange script needs to know what is triggering it - put x in field next to execution 'On Expression' . . .x
Currently there is nothing telling it when to act . . .
