I have different keys assigned to "roll" (rapid fire, like a drum roll) different samples. For example, if I press 'R' sample 1 will roll, if I press 'G' sample 2 will roll, and so on. My problem is any time I release a key (keyup) it's as if I am letting go of everything even if I am still holding some of the keys down.

Is there a way to make it so you can be holding down a key, then press and release other keys but have the first key (that you are still holding down) still recognized as being held the whole time?

Don't know if that makes sense. I can get the holding down multiple keys, but as soon as I release any of them it's as if I'm releasing all of them. I thought maybe I needed to assign the key numbers to the keyup commands, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Any clue?

How about instead of keeping the key pressed down all the time putting an on/off mechanism for each key? So press once it starts rolling, press again it stops. Something like;

[key]
|
[sel 113] <- Q in this case
|
[tgl]
|
[metro] <- assigned to whichever speed you want the roll to happen
|
[bng]

[keyname] is also useful in this situation. it ouputs the keyname as a symbol and then a 0 or 1 depending on if the key is pressed. unfortunately, it outputs them in the wrong order to be instantly useful, so you have to include a little bit of circuitry afterwards with [sel], [t b f], etc...
