Multi Actions

Midi actions can be placed inside Multi Actions or Multi Action Switches with some restrictions.

When a Multi Action button is pressed, the Multi Action triggers a Key press immediately followed by a Key release for each action defined within the Multi Action. This sequence of events has the following consequences for Midi actions in Multis:

  • Push buttons work as expected in Multi Actions and Multi Action Switches.

  • Hold buttons do not work in Multis (or rather - work like Push buttons) since the Midi action experiences only a very short key press and has no knowledge of the state of the physical button.

  • Toggle buttons work as expected in Multi Actions. They also work in Multi Action Switches, but the result might be somewhat confusing...

    • A Midi toggle action placed in both Multis of a Multi Action Switch will toggle with each button press but keeps track of its state regardless of the state of the Multi Action Switch.

    • A Midi toggle action placed in only one of the Multis in a Multi Action Switch will toggle with every other button press and keep track of its state regardless of the state of the Multi Action Switch.

  • Fader buttons do not work in Multis.

  • Cycle buttons work as expected in Multis except for "hold to change direction", which does not work since the action experiences only a very short key press.
