Question about push button matrix

Post by gross9978 » Sat Jun 26, 2021 12:58 am

Hello, does anyone know if it‘s possible to get aftertouch information from the button matrix of a push2 if it’s currently “grabbed” by m4l? I can observe aftertouch via midiparse under normal conditions but once I’ve grabbed control that’s not available. Is there a way to get the aftertouch info separately from the button matrix observe object? Thanks for any help.

Hmm, that's an interesting question. My first thought is using midiparse... but since you already tried :arrow:

I just did a quick test by using the new L11 midi routing options for M4L, but the result look just the same: once the matrix is grabbed midiin don't output anything anymore.
Im quite confident there's a way to observe this data even when it's grabbed, I just don't know how. Some searching's needed!
