Sending a note on and off button

I’m trying to map a button on the E1 to a button in VCV rack. The way to do this usually is to map a note message which will press the button on a note on and release it on the note off. However, the E1 doesn’t seem to send Note Off messages if I use a button. It only ever sends a Note On message. I’m sure I’m missing something there - any help would be appreciated.

I usually create a virtual control for such purpose. When the value changes to 1, a note on message is then sent. When the value changes to 0, a note off message. It’s only 4 lines lua code.

Could you please post the code here? That will be useful to me too as a newbie. I have no problem with standard MIDI messages, but I don’t know there to start in coding

Thanks. I’ll give this a go. I actually already tried the virtual control and managed to get it to send a note on and note off, but it didn’t work. I guess I need to try the extra 2 lines to observe for zero and 1.

I was under the impression that pressing the button on the touch screen would send a note on and then a note off when not finger is removed. I see that the encoder does send a note off message when dialled back to zero but not the touchscreen.

hi, I am sorry for that but it is a known bug :frowning: The “off” event is not triggered for the momentary pad. The fix is ready in the upcoming release.

Ah ok. Thanks for letting me know. Will the fix be in 3.7?
