Hey!

The reason Im asking about this is that I am using my Nord leads as midi controllers (much nicer than all custom midi controllers Ive tried).
Uhes midi learn works great - except for toggle buttons where the hardware sends specific midi CCs when you toggle. Would it be possible to expand the midi learn functionality so you could set up toggle buttons like this? Only need to be able to configure Diva to step between some user defined CCs I guess?

So the Nord Lead sends different CC #'s on each toggle state? Typically you'd expect a button to send CC 110 with a value of 0 at the off stateand 127 at the on state. If there were multiple steps to a button, you'd expect the CC# to stay the same, but the values transmitted to increment upwards accordingly.

What exactly is the Nord Lead doing? You could probably do something like write some Bome MIDI Translator scripts to remap things in a more Diva friendly way, then just set Bome to run that automatically when Windows starts up.

If I remember correctly, the problem is that Nords send for example value 0,1,2,3 if there is a selection between four values. But most softsynths expect 0,31,63,95,127 (using up the whole 0 to 127 range).
