May 2015: Manual Entry on Button Groups
As of June 25, 2013, Bounce Back, a new feature for Button Groups, is out. Find out more here.
What Is It?
Button groups can also be called “radio buttons.” You want a button to belong to a group of buttons. When one turns on, the others turn off.
MIDI Designer takes the radio-button concept to the next level: Momentary AND toggle buttons can participate in button groups. A knob (or slider, etc.) groups the buttons, but also lets you step through the buttons by changing the value of the knob.
Set It Up
Make a knob, slider, or cross-fader the supercontrol of two more buttons. Automatic and easy.
Use It
Press any of the buttons and the other ones in the group shut off. If they are momentary, they stay off.
Technical Details
The button that is pressed is sent LAST. Any of the buttons that does not send an off (e.g., Sysex with no “V” or Program Change Button) will only send when selected.
