Toggle buttons need 4 button presses to turn on and off

[djnyce]

i am setting up a lemur template that has every control available in Freestyler. When it's completed i will post it up on the lemur template website.

anyways i am having trouble with freestyler buttons that toggle. when i map a button in lemur and set it to switch (toggle), it requires me to press the button 4 times.

1. lemur button light goes on, sequence plays
2. lemur button light goes off, sequence still playing
3. lemur button remains unlit, sequence stops playing
4. lemur button light goes on, sequence still stopped

at first i thought it was a lemur problem so i plugged in a traktor kontrol x1. changed 4 buttons to 'toggle' and mapped them to toggle sequence 1-4. the same thing happens.

if i press the button in freestyler, the lights in lemur and on the kontrol x1 goes on/off like they are supposed to.

both lemur and kontrol x1 are using 0-127 and cc messages.

does anybody know how to resolve this problem?

freestyler expects a Flash button.

On press velocity 127
On release Velocity 0

both lemur and the kontrol x1 are sending 127 on the 1st button press and 0 on the next button press. this is on and off on the kontrol x1.

in freestyler, toggle sequence 1 is going on, nothing, off, nothing (4 button presses; 127, 0, 127, 0). it should just go on, off with 2 button presses. instead it only goes on or off when it receives 127 (press 1 and 3).

yes but as i say FS needs a Flash button Not a Toggle button.

It doesnt matter if its a Toggle or a Flash on the software.
Freestyler needs a Flash button From the midi Controller.

So if i press a button on the bcf2000 i send
XX XX 127 = On press
XX XX 00 = On release

FS send back to the Midi controller
XX XX 127 = LED on

if i press the button again the bcf again sends
XX XX 127 = On press
XX XX 00 = On release

FS send back to the midi controller
XX XX 00 = LED off


but as i remember if you go to the Midi options from FS.
Theres a options button and there you can set the Type of info your Midi controller sends..
NoteON - NoteOFF
Converte Flash to toggle..

ok. i was taking the info on the wiki literally. i thought some buttons were flash, some toggle.

i changed the x1 to 'gate' and it works, but no led feedback.

i also tried enabling convert flash->toggle in the options. it doesn't do anything whether the x1 is in toggle or gate (most likely because toggle sequence is a toggle).

i was able to fix the problem with midi ox mapping.

now the toggle buttons are sending 127/0 with each button press and the led's are working.

this is the midi ox mapping that i am using
