note toggle- improvements request

[-PIKU-]

i'm building a template of XT (vst version) that extends the control capabilities of my midicontrollers adding "pages"
so, pressing a single button i can switch between two different pages where all the buttons and faders are mapped in different ways

what i really need now is a way to make the different pages refresh the leds status (expecially usefull when toggle mode is used)

so here in my request: some kind of "trigger status function" for midi-note-toggle.. so when you hit "trigger status", the plugin simply sends out all the notes that are "actually" on

the best way to do that for me is to use PC messages: when the plug recieves a pc messages it will switch to the relative preset (and here is my second request ), and will send out all the on notes

in the internal interface two switches could be added:
1 trigger status on\off (if it is off, no notes will be sent when switching presets)
2 all off - the plug will reset (and send out) the status of all notes that are on to off

-------

edit: the status of the notes will not be saved with the project, but if preset handling will be added.. each preset has to remember his note-on status untill the project is active

interesting, and pretty easy to implement... i added it to midiKeyboard instead of midiNoteToggle though.

turn on "toggle" and the toggled notes will be remembered per program, and re-sent on program change:

could you add a fixed mode for the "grab qwerty" button?
so the qwerty functions will be active even if i'm tweaking another plug

i think that right mouse click is the easyest way

i've been meaning to do that for a while...

it's in here now

right-click the button and it will respond even if the GUI is closed, and this is saved with the plugin state. i also put an option to only play notes when caps lock is on, in the "about" box along with some other stuff.

It looks like there's a bug in midiNoteToggle. Notes toggle on and switch off as expected only within toggle range... outside this range they toggle as well, but then can not be switched off at all. This is not the kind of behaviour I expected.
I just want to toggle notes in bass octave of my keyboard to free my left hand so I can work with controllers. Other notes outside toggle range should play as usual, I guess.

I have another good idea - to incorporate in NoteToggle some kind of overlapping notes killer (as an option), so in this mode the next note played (in toggle range only!) will cut off previous. In this way we can play toggling low pad notes with left hand (no need to hold them pressed all the time) and use our left hand on modulation wheel while playing melody with right hand

thanks, fixed midiNoteToggle.

for what you're describing, it sounds similar to what midiChordHold does so i might add more options to that instead...
