momentary switch in to a latching switch

Hello, I have midi controller (Vestax VMC-600) I am completely new to Bome.

I am trying to make the lights on the controller light up when I click them on and off, so far (using Bome) I can make them only light when I hold them down, how do I change this behavior using Bome? To make them Latch on and off?

Someone in a previous thread wrote this, but i don't understand it, bome doesn't Seem to have a *

Turning a momentary button into a toggle switch is easy, but it depends on the message that is being sent.

What you want to do is use a translator that will cut out the "off" message and switch it to the second press of the button. It would look something like:

Code: Select all
Translator 1: Momentary to Toggle
Incoming Message: 90 30 7F
Rules: g0=g0+1
if g0>1 then g0=0
if pp=g0*127
Outgoing Message: 90 30 pp


This way, on the first press your outgoing message is 127 (1*127) and the second press is 0 (0*127). Since you don't process the outgoing 00 it should be ignored.

Hi Richard

You can type those rules in, so just typing a * (shift + 8 ) will put an asterisk in to the rules menu.

hmm, doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Hi Richard,

I'm also new to BMT and also had help with Jared. Can you post your .bmtp file and I'll have a look to see if our solutions are similar.

Oh,it doesn't work because the rule in the example you found in the forum is wrong.

You want the rules to read as:
That entry that starts with pp should not have an If in front of it.
