[PD] MIDI controller question

[Stephen Martin]

I can get input from the buttons, but (like matthew said) it's not a toggle,
so I can only get a positive value for as long as my finger is on the
button.  It goes back to zero when I lift my finger off.

so, here's what I think would work, but I don't know PD well enough to do
it... and this is where I need the quick help... it seems simple in
theory...

is there a way to have a toggle triggered with, say, a value of 37, but not
go off when it receives a value of 0... and THEN, go off when it receives
the 37 value again - basically every time this value is passed, the toggle
goes off or on, but by only using one value, not a zero and a positive
integer...

help?

STEVE

I actually had the same problem, And couldn't find a work around in pd.

What I ended up doing is having the 16 buttons send notes I normally don't
use (note #s 111 to 127) and setting up a small abstraction that converts
the note on and note off for these guys to just a labeled on and off value.
I just needed them to trigger things, so the whole toggle bit I never really
dealt with.
