MIDI Board

Hello Everyone,

I built my first MIDI board that feeds data into Pure Data. The video shows me operating POTENTIOMETER 1 and 3 (2 and 4 broke on me). I also have a few buttons on the board as well.

I am having an issue now with how to transmit the button press information. When I push the button in the video, it sends a "1" while I hold it down and then goes back to "0" when I let go.

However, I am having trouble getting that push button logic down as I am new to Pure Data and programming buttons.

Is [sel 0] OR [sel 1] the best way to deal with this or is there a library that has a lot of the button press logic already in it? I tried to use a button and toggle object but was not having good responses. The button seemed to think I was repeatedly hitting it instead of maintaining a push.

Apologies if I am not clear but figuring out how to get sound effects to play off the button press is kind of hindering me from proceeding further in my creating process.

I have a pd keyboard object patch where you look for "end zero" and it decides that the 1010101 has ended. because there isnt a one when you check for it each bang etc.

@paulwasthere Your board is repeatedly sending while you hold the button.
The easy way to stop repeats (of the same value) is with the [change] object.
