FX button, and releasing it properly with a shift button

[DiscoPoelie]

Hey guys,
I'm currently mapping my MIDI fighter to my own likings (in Traktor Pro 2). But I'm having trouble releasing an FX button properly.

Suppose I have 2 buttons: A and B. B is set to trigger hotcue's, unless A is pressed. A is a 'shift' knob, which makes B trigger FX stuff. When A is pressed, B will set all sorts of FX settings ok (routing, dry/wet, select the FX and so on), and finally trigger an FX slot to be 'on'. The command is offcourse in 'hold' mode, because I want to release the FX when I release button B.

So far so good. BUT: when I accidently release A first, then B will stick: the modifier is reset to 0, and the 'FX On' command never recieves it's 'note off' command. So a workaround is needed to release the given (or all?) FX when I release A or B.

I have been trying out a few things, but either the FX would be triggered by A, or I would be triggering a hotcue... Also, sadly, in 'direct mode', the invert option in a MIDI command is unavailable...

Oh and I have a small limitation: M1 serves as my shift modifier, and M8 serves to select a deck. So within this FX On command I can't specify any more modifiers

So, does anyone have a suggestion that could help me making this mapping fool-proof, ie: releasing the given FX (or rather MIDI command in hold mode) wether A or B is released first?

Kind regards,
Johan

try adding a "fx on" to the same "B" button set to Button set M1=0 (or what ever modifier "a" handles) and select "invert" then change it to button type "direct" and set it to 0.

Hey thanks BlueJay That works.

And me was thinking that there was no way to select invert while you would select direct mode. seems like a UI bug to me
