Press and hold midi note via Stream Deck button

Hey @unnamed_1705,

Thanks for the question! It's not currently possible to do "momentary" button hold actions from the Stream Deck. There are some advanced APIs that SoundFlow Developers have used on premium SoundFlow Apps like Pro Tools Track Control to accomplish "Momentary" behavior, but these are currently reserved for SoundFlow Developers.

The best way I can think to handle this kind of action would be to use a "If Global State Variable Is (Boolean)" macro action and then use a global variable and MIDI commands to create a "toggle" functionality.

I made a quick video detailing this for you:

Hey @Tristan_Dewey!

I wanted to follow up on this post and share that, as of SoundFlow 5.7, we now have Generic Button Commands in the Basics Package. These commands allow you to have different "button down" and "button up" actions for both Stream Deck Buttons or Key commands.

Example

thanks @Chad, this is great news.
Quick question, I've implemented this button for SourceConnect TB. MIDI Inpit Enable is checked in PTs for SoundFlow Custom Midi Output all 1-8. Soundflow log is registering button down/up. BUT ProTools is not recieving the midi note message (currently using MIDI Note 64 (Output Number 1) (MIDI Channel 1). Hoping this is simple to fix and I'm overlooking something. Could not find info on forum or online. Thanks

Thanks for the MIDI monitor tip...fixed the command script :)
