Pads Hold Behavior

Post by transwagon » 29 Aug 2017 14:24

Hi there,
now this is probably real simple but I can't figure it out. I have a pad-object with 3 rows and two columns. I want to create a sustain-button. Meaning: when I press a custom button, the respective pads of the pad-object I've pressed stay on till I press the custom-button again. There is a description in the manual on page 111:
Hold: Its effect is similar to a sustain pedal, freezing the Object’s state as
long as its value is 1. When set to 0, if has no effect. This means
this parameter should be used with a mathematical expression
depending on other Objects. For instance, if you have a Switch
Object named Sustain in your interface, you can set the hold
parameter of a Pad to Sustain.x so the Switch gets the ability to
freeze the current lightness.

So I did a test and changed the "hold" entry in the behavior section of the pad to 1. I expected that each pad I select would now stay on. But nothing is happening. Even the default behavior is gone. No pad is lightening up or sending x=1.
So what am I missing here? :D

Thank you guys

It's hard to say what you're doing wrong without seeing your code. If you attach your project we'll be able to look at it. It's probably this, though.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
