keys not quite what I want

If I want a key to send a keyboard command, how do I get it so i can just push it and it will send the command.

Right now I have to hold it down in order for the command to happen. Then when I let go it goes back.

For example

in ableton I want to do mousless control like hit shit and tab together. but when i do this I have to hold the key down or it switchs back.

I just want to be able to hit the key and have a key combination sent thats all.


Thanks!!!

I've wanted a shit key for years...

Hi Lowfront,

I assume you have an incoming MIDI message like "90 40 pp" where pp is a local variable which receives the velocity. Now MIDI keyboards send such a message when you press down the key, and the same message but velocity 0 when you release it. I guess that's why you have the described double-trigger.

Now the fix is best done with a Rule in MT Pro: Add this rule to all such translators where you have velocity as a variable, but only want to execute the outgoing action when press down.

Is that what you mean?
Thanks,
Florian
