Send one sysex when pressed, one when released

Question

From a user today:

A quick question. I want to press a MIDI key to send a SysEx message. When the key is released, I want to send another SysEx message.

 

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

1. Create two sysex buttons with default everything
2. Create a knob that is a supercontrol of those two sysex buttons
3. Set this to ON: Relationships -> Options as Super -> Buttons are send on only
4. Create a momentary button that is a supercontrol of the knob
5. Turn this to ON: Relationships -> Options as Super -> Not Steppers
6. Now hide the knob and the two sysex buttons via: Advanced -> Hide in Performance 

Now your button will send the value of one of the toggles on press, and one on release.
