Keyboard Hold woes

[nord_balls]

Hi y'all,

Been futzing with this for a while and read some posts and am stuck.

Keyboard hold (CC# 18) seems to be a very finicky control. See attached patch, where I've rather clumsily put together a toggle switch that sends either 0 or 127 out on CC 18.

Well, no matter how I set the CtrlSend module's send channel -- this, the current midi channel, the slot, other slots, other channels -- keyboard hold will not respond.

I've tried it on other CC#s, like volume, octave -- they all work like a charm.

Now here's the tripper: if I have my keyboard hooked up in and out to my computer with a midi recorder, record-enabled, so it's echoing back -- it works (on the channel that the midi recorder is echoing back on).

The reason I'm creating this is I want a master keyboard hold that I can point at other slots. I've already given up on trying to somehow "capture" the keyboard hold button itself, so I was trying this way using a switch. Nothing worky. Helpy?

Thanks,
Stuart

I used CC64 for hold which works but has a problem. If you load a new patch while the CC is high, that slot gets stuck on hold till a power reset or CC64,0 is sent.
