@bigkid you said
I use all 6 buttons on the MC6 to access 6 presets with a 'tap'. I want to be able to use one of these buttons to also toggle an effect with a 'long press'.
If Toggle Mode for the preset is OFF then in a scenario where you are using Long Press Release using a CC (#50 in the example) to engage/bypass an effect and a Release using a CC (#55m val=3) to select Scene 4 the following happens.
Msg-1 Action:Long Press Release; Type:CC; Pos:1;CC-#:50;CC-val:0
— CC#50,val=0 is sent when the toggle is in Position 1
Msg-2 Action:Long Press Release; Type:CC; Pos:2;CC-#:50;CC-val:127
— CC#50,val=127 is sent when the toggle is in Position 2
Msg-3 Action:Long Press Release; Type:Toggle Preset; Pos:Both
— toggles the preset between Position 1 and Position 2. This gives you finer grain control over when the toggle is set. If toggle is set at the level of the preset any Action will set the toggle.
Msg-4 Action:Release; Type:CC; Pos:Both;CC-#:55;CC-val:3
— CC#55,val=3 is sent irrespective of what toggle position the preset is in
When Press is used as the Action a message is always sent. Using Release and Long Press Release allows the execution of the 2 CCs to be independent of each other. If you tap the preset switch CC#55 will always be sent with a value of 3. If you hold the switch for a period of time and release it CC#50 will be sent but the values toggle between 0 and 127.
I want it to default to bypassed when I leave the preset for another and then return to the preset.
Look at the Set Toggle type to manage the toggle setting for a preset.
Hope this helps.
