Midi Designer works like a midi monitor when it receives midi.
Midi Controllers don't respond to input with output except to update your controls appearance.
 
So many users have asked for this feature in all different forms so stick around, maybe something can be figured out.
 
Id request a new SuperControl that actually responds to the message it's set to send but doesn't send it's own value, that way a new user shouldn't accidentally put his/her software and Midi Designer in an infinite loop.

So there's also no way to make the channel changer in MIDI Designer work as a filter for incoming data? Like a MIDI patch bay would do?
Thanks midicode. Correct, Ana, the only thing at all like this is MIDI Thru, which is connection wide and would forward ALL channels and data.

MIdicode, if you want to describe this Supercontrol a little bit more, we'd appreciate it to get the suggestion logged well. Thanks!
Midi Designer already receives midi so i guess you only need to add another option that gets the receiving control to emulate a click/touch.
