Swallow incoming midi note ONLY when shift key held

Hi, right now I've done a rethink and am able to send keyboard commands CNTL-SHIFT-1, CNTL-SHIFT-2 etc.

I think I mean to avoid using the SWALLOW incoming option and find another way.

when I hold down the shift key note (bottom note on midi keyboard) and then hit the second note on the keyboard that's assigned to send the CNTL-SHIFT-1, CNTL-SHIFT-2 etc. WHILE the shift-key is held. And of course I set them to swallow midi in (note-one).

Thing is I need a way to have the swallowing happen ONLY while the shift-note is held down so that when I lift up the shift note the secondary keys that send the keyboard commands CNTL-SHIFT-1, CNTL-SHIFT-2 etc. DO pass thru the incoming midi notes allowing the keyboard to fundtion normally.

Is this possible?

Hi yvon,

This sure is possible, with the use of global variables...

You will need your 'shift' key to set a variable on press and on release, maybe ga=1 on press and =0 on release. You can then set up your translators to void or send either keystrokes or midi messages, depending on the variable value, using rules.

Hope this makes sense...
