Switch, controls octave?

Ok, so I've got a weird bug. I just got this sweet little 5 position switch. It sends signal as a single button with variable velocity. (12, 36, 114, etc). I decided I wanted this to control the octave as a toggle switch.

So I hopped into Bome's and made a ruleset that set a global value ga to a different value for each varied velocity.

B1 01 pp
IF pp == 12 THEN ga=0+1
IF pp == 36 THEN ga=0+2

etc.

However, what I end up getting is a constant repeating note. When I hit the note for the first time. And then, after that, each time I flip the switch it adds another note on top of it! Eventually making Bome's blow up. lol

I know I'm missing something stupid...

help?

errr, I should mention that I have another key set to

91 oo pp

IF ga == 1 THEN oo=oo+12
IF ga == 2 THEN oo=oo+24

etc.

[EDIT:] In an attempt to make all this cleaner....

Translator 1: transpose
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 81 xx pp
Rules:
xx=xx+ga
if pp==0 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
Outgoing: MIDI 81 xx pp

Translator 2: Octave switch
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B1 64 pp
Rules:
if pp==114 then ga=0
if pp==88 then ga=12
if pp==74 then ga=24
if pp==38 then ga=36
if pp==12 then ga=48
Outgoing: (none)


That's what I'm doing. All the notes and performance comes out fine, but NOTHING transposes.

dangit...yeah that's an 81 not a 91...i changed it back to 91 and now i get the note hold again.

i'll just sit quietly and wait for someone smarter than me to help. heh

No ideas?

Seems like this would be a typical problem for newcomers.

I've put about 15 hours into trying to figure out why the midi seems to be repeating, and for the life of me I can't figure out why it's doing like an infinite loop thing.

I press middle C for a split second, and MT holds the note for waaay to long before finally transmitting the stop signal.

Am I making a totally newb mistake?

I loaded up the log..seems like it's simply taking forever to process the translation fully...why would it be doing that? (I've got a wicked fast machine)

It goes blazing fast with keystroke emulation as the output. but a midi signal as the translation it takes a really long time

looks like my code was pretty close. but my problem was my virtual midi routing.

seems to work now.

Hi, glad to hear that! Sorry nobody here responded earlier...
We're particularly proud of the fast MIDI processing in MT, so "taking forever" didn't sound right
