Button On/Off = how to send NoteOn both times

[tobilemur]

Hi,

this is an ultra beginner question, I know. Just started and need it very soon, so no time to dive into the manual
(that will come later). Quick help is very appreciated.

How can I build a custom switch button (or lighted/unlighted pad) that sends a Note On when its activated AND deactivated?
So far it only sends it when activated.

thanks a lot, cheers

Maybe when you set the trigger state like this:

By default, a switch or a pad sends the assigned note on with a velocity x*127.

So when its on, its sends Note ON, note number, velocity 127
when its off, it sends Note ON, note number, velocity 0 -> inteprated to note off as per offcial midi specs.

To make a switch send note ON in both its states, create a "custom midi output" and assign its velocity to a fixed 127 number. Then make sure that "x" triggers the output.
