Hi,

I'm working on an Ableton Live controller patch in Pd. It will be used with an external graphic tablet from Wacom.

I'd like to use Pd to make "mutes" possible.
Normally i use a MIDI Keyboard and convert every Note Off message to an On message. So whenever i press a key the mute gets toggled to "off" and then when i release the mute gets toggled twice.

By now i am using "bang" objects. But they lack in the feature that they are just sending one bang message when they get pressed. I tried to something with "select" or "spigot" but these solutions aren't very good.

Does anybody know how to implement a button which sends two messages? (One when getting pressed, one when released)

Thanks in advance,
Zettt

rather confusing post.

not exactly sure what you want, but you could always have a [bang( button with a [delay 30] sent to another [bang( button.

Maybe mouse clicks are monitored in pd somehow, but i know that one definately can use the keyboard for the purpose of bang on key-release... use [key] for a bang whenever a keyboard button is pressed, and [keyup] for whenever one gets depressed.

you could also send a [bang( to a [t b b] object, which will output two bangs (one from each outlet)

if you have pd extended and don't mind using an external, then gcanvas might help. you'd just make one about 15 x 15 pixels to be the same size as a normal bang. sorry i can't check at the moment, but i think it outputs mouse click / unclick info.

another external is [MouseState], which will give you the mouse click / unclick info
