Hi Asseca,

I have been trying for hours to apply my brain to learning the mgui syntax but haven't had a lot of success.

I have succeeded in creating a knob to choose a pattern in the vaz plus sequencer:

p-63=-0,16,1,10,1,'Pattern','',~0,VB0800C

afaik that should be sending 0<>127 on controller 13 and labelling them 1-16 as I need.

Buttons seem much more complicated. In demo .dll we see:

p-5=0,1,1,1,0,'Sustain','#sw',~s,m10200000FF,v900024007F0080  ,VB080407F00,vB020407F000080,k4020807F0053

All I can understand there is the ~s tells it to work like a switch

the m1xxxxx is (i think) telling it to respond to the mouse clicking on it.

I am guessing the v90002xxxx is a midi note to switch sustain on/off.

the VB080407F00 seems to be sending 127 on controller 40H(64) and i think the extra 00 is telling it to toggle.

not sure what vB020407F000080 is doing.

How would I make a button that does for example:

c#10 val=1, c#11 val=127 on press, and
c#11 val=0 on release

so it's sending two cc's on press sequentially, and toggling the second one off on release.

Thanks for any insight.

Kind regards,
Mike

i found that the easiest way is to set up a control using the panel properties gui. Some of the extra digits I referenced above are min/max values but I am progressing now I use the panel to define my midi output.
