Just tried again and it works fine for me. Did you use a toggle button, which sends 127 on first and 0 on second press? You also need to select in the "Knob mode" to "Absolute (Toggle button".

I stand corrected, I didn't check the Knob mode with Absolute Toggle it works as expected. Thanks a lot...

I just adapted my nanoKontrol with Flexi and wondered about some missing targets.
I could not find a way to set the volume of a fx track,

There is a function to toggle between the instrument/audio and fx track bank.

I did not find it, looked through all menus. And I doubt it would be useful, because if I understand that correctly, it would toggle the function of my already assigned faders. But I want to use a different knob for that. The nanoKontrol has 9 Faders and 9 knobs, I don't want double assignments at all.
Is there a restriction from the API which prevents a direct assignment to the FX track controls? In the Master menu would be enough space to put it in if possible...

Hi Jürgen,
first of all: thank you for this great extension! I really love it.
Now, being a musician (and not a programmer) I got a feature request that could ease my performing:
I would love to use a foot pedal attached to the push2 that would just act as if I would press the shift-key on the push, so I can select new scenes while playing my keyboard with my other hand.
As far as I understand, the foot pedals are not yet assigned to anything.
I guess this would be a 5 minutes project for someone who knows the code.
Thanks
Achim

It is the first entry in the Track menu: "Track: Toggle Trackbank".

The first footswitch is fixed to send Sustain. The 2nd can be assigned to different functions in the settings: Workflow -> Footswitch 2.
I do not understand how simulating Shift would help you launch scenes.

I tried that, It seams to select and toggle that selection, which would be completely useless. After that toggle I would have to move a different control which then acts on the selection...
I just want to turn my knob and it should move the fader!
My suggestion: put direct controls (set fx1 volume...set fx8 volume) into the master section. There is space and I at least consider those Fx returns as part of the master section... (Or rename the Maste section in “Master & FX”...)
I know the API can do it, at least with Javascript I was able to address the returns directly...

I do not understand how simulating Shift would help you launch scenes.

Basically I am missing the <page left> <page right> <page up> and <page down> button in session mode with wich I could move 8 steps to left, right, up or down with pressing only ONE button ONE time.
My session has 16 tracks and is organized in fields of 16 x 8 in wich all clips can be combined in any way and accompany my life playing. I want to be able to switch to the next musical part (i.e. the following 16x8 field) as well as to the other 8 tracks (to start one of those) while still playing a line on my keyboard.
So far I can do that by using 2 hands: one has to press and hold <shift> while the other can select the wanted "page".

On the other hand the buttoms <page left>, <page right>, <octave up> and <octave down> are not used in session mode. If I could use those in session mode to navigate around in big steps of 8 would be fantascitc, too.

Hi Moss, the new "User" feature in Push 2 is utterly fantastic. Thank you SO much for adding this!

Will this be available for Reaper as well? Would love to test it with my Push 2.

If you mean the User mode, I think the Reaper API does not support it. Next Reaper version takes a bit longer (lots of changes).
