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.

Thank you!

Minimialism is a favorite, but my desktop clutter does not demonstrate! I always loved some good loading music...

Hello Everyone!

I made my first "short" using pure data and I have to say, I am very happy to have found this software and forum to share. Very interesting how so few have used Pure Data compared to other languages, but I am not very knowledgeable about such things so chalk it up to arrogrance.

Hope you enjoy as I keep on making music and start to use GEM!
