Footswitch programming

I'm working on a patch that uses string oscillators and feedback to generate gnarly tones. The thing is, after I let up the keys, the tones tends to ring on for quite a while, which is nice, except that I'd like to have a way to make it stop.

I figured that using a control to morph all of the string oscillator's Decay setting to 0 would work, and it does, but I can't figure a way to control it with a button. (I'd like to just press a button, or press a footswitch, and have the sound stop.)

There doesn't seem to be a way to assign a Morph parameter to a front panel button (please tell me if I'm wrong!), but when I assign to the Sustain pedal, it works - but then the Sustain function still works.

If I turn off sustain for the patch, the foot switch morph no longer works (which is a deign error, IMHO).

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if that's working. The morph UI is confusing.. but I want to master it, so:

After I do the double-click/drag thang, the text in my Morph display toggles between Kill! and Sust. Pd. when the button is pressed. It seems as though the the button toggle the sustain pedal connect rather than the morph value.

This does work, even though I have to press the button twice.. no big deal.

thx -
