non-sequential note values with Pad array - some advice

Hi,

I have a pad array that doubles-up and sends note or CC values depending on certain multi-states. At present i'm using custom Midi for the note off messages (note-on and CC being handled by scripts) because it seems like the only way a pad object can send non-sequential pitch values is to use scripts. The problem is the note off messages seem a bit flaky and i am getting a few stuck notes occasionally. If you use a custom expression similar to the default studio keyboard template it seems rock solid.

Project example
Pad Object (in note mode)
script State 1: notes {14,17,15,18,21,23,22}
Custom Midi message note off {14,17,15,18,21,23,22}
script State 2 : notes {14,15,16}
Custom Midi message note off {14,15,16}

Any advice on better ways to implement this that might lead to more stable results?

cheers,
JD

You CAN use pad-array and have it send whatever note on - off messages you want without the use of scripts - just the use of custom midi out and a few predefined custom expressions (they will take care of the actual sequnece of notes). An example of this technique can be found in the user library template....

hold on looking for it.....
