Hi Sorry for hijacking this tread but it deals with what I desperately need:)
I really need to be able to change channel 1-16 via move up and down with two different buttons. IE Previous & Next buttons

My Previus Button sends B0 70 7F while pressed and B0 70 pp when released
My Next Button sends B0 71 7F while pressed and B0 71 pp when released

I have an 16 part multitimbral racksynth and I want to be able to change sounds easy while playing.

Hope someone can help an brother in need:) Again sorry for the highjacking:)
Thanks!

Hi MyMyselfAndI64

I have split this into a new topic for ease.

What you're seeing is MIDI Translator processing the various MIDI signals coming from your controller. When you press the button MT has received one signal, the 7F. On release, it receives a 00 message. The pp is a local variable telling MT to listen to any velocity/position of the message B0 70, in this case on and off. This means that when you press the key or release it the signal passes in to MT for translation. If it is only listening for 7F then it will only respond when you press the button down, and not if you release it. Does that make sense?

Thanks
