New Button type
Hi,
For quite some programs to work correctly through MIDIit requires a button type (Note Om/OFF) different from the Push, Toggle, Latch and Hold currently supplied with the Stream Deck Midi Plugin.
For the Toggle button in the software to work correctly, it requires a Note ON and immodestly a Note OFF. This is exactly what the PUSH button type in the SD plugin does. However, I want to be able to use a secondary image when I press the button. Therefore the PUSH button is not what I seek.
When the toggle-button-type form of the SD midi plugin is used, it sends a Note ON the first time you press it, and a note OFF the second time.
The software wants to control through MIDI and ignore the Note OFF. Therefore I need to press the SK Toggle twice to send a second Note ON before it responds in the other software. This results in the secondary image from the SK Toggle being out of sync with the behaviour of the software program.
Within SK Midi Toggle it is possible to add custom Keys; so a Note ON and then a Note OFF. However, this does not give the desired results and breaks the secondary image (it does not appear anymore)
Solution
Toggle and Push button combined.
aka: A Push button with a secondary image.
aka: A Toggle in the SD Midi plugin that has a primary and secondary and behaves like the push button. So sending a Note ON and Note OFF every time it is pressed. It's just like a physical MIDI controller.
Thank you for your amazing plugin. It's very helpful! Keep up the amazing work and I hope you find my suggestion just as essential as I do.

Hi,
I think a script button is the solution to that problem. With a script button, you can decide exactly what should be sent and displayed for each button press.

Hello!
I've tried that however the secondary image does not work. I would love to have that visual feedback!

Re: New Button type
With a script, you have complete control over everything. If the script doesn't do what you expect it to do, there's something wrong with it. If you send me the script, I can take a look at it.

What is it you can not?
If you want to change the button state to show icon 0 or 1, you use the action {state:...}
If you want to display images some other way, you use the action {image:...}, but in this case, you must NOT set any icons in the Stream Deck editor since these always have precedence.

Re: New Button type
Ah great! That works!
Going through the documentation again I see indeed the {State} command mentioned. At first sight, I didn't gather from the description that this was the intention
Thanks again!
