Modifers - multiple use???

Has anyone tried splitting a modifier? That is, using a modifer more than once in a mapping?

Let me explain - could you use the 8 different staes of a modifer as separate modifiers? So you would use:

M1=0 - Play
M1=1 - Pause

M1=2 - Loop 1/8
M1=3 - Loop 1/4

Know what I mean??? :confused:

Yep I’ve done similar mappings to that, totally possible.

Awesome.

Although it tends to multiply the amount of command lines to catch every possible modifier state by a lot (like the square). One more split use, quadruple # of lines, etc… Takes a good eye and a lot of testing to find all the mistakes you will make. And you WILL make them, rest assured… :wink:

That’s what the comments field is for… :thumbsup:

Yes, it’s totally possible, . Funny to see your message now, as I just went out of a midi mapping sessions on my F1 and use modifiers in the way of your question.

Oh yeah! :smiley:
I always place the value of an assignment and some details into the comments, like ‘on button release: modifier => 0 [reset]’, so i know what f##k the assignment is doing in one glance. Too bad some settings aren’t shown in the overview…

I posted a thread about it in Controller Mappings Forum:
