Hey. I'm trying to create a dual fuction button for Resolume grid that has just short press on and long press on, no off required. The idea is that a short press will activate a clip, and a long press will preview a clip (after which the button returns to it's origianal state). Any suggestions on how to do this would be welcome? Thanks

We have a similar concept in Profile Cloud called "Longpress". Try it out, maybe modify it!
Looking now. Thanks
Yes, I tried this one already, but I can't seem to get it to function in the way i need. I'm new to Grid, so please bear with me....
What trouble did you run into when trying it?
Okay, first of all its an on/off toggle for the short press, and secondly the LED doesn't return to it's original state after the long press?
Yes
Both interactions are toggles in this one.
Press states are indicated by LED brightness, longpress states are indicated by a red color.
Okay, but i don't want the toggle, just short press on and long press on, so i can select 2 different items with one button, but don't need to turn them off? The software will turn them off when a selection is made with a different button...
How would you differentiate a short press from a long one? When would Grid send the message if the press is a short one? On release?
Do you need a message with 0 value?
Because if not, I made a quick edit of the above config. Give it a try!
The above will only send 127 values on "release".
And will not send 0 values ever.
Both reaching the longpress timer and releasing the button before that sends out a CC message.
If you'd want to adjust the hold time for longpress, change the time variable here in miliseconds.
If you would like to adjust the CC values, you can do so in the MIDI blocks under button (shortpress) and timer (longpress).
Many thanks, this is close. I will come back to you later once i've had a chance to play with it. Nice one
Now works perfectly - just had to change the MIDI on both presses from CC to Note On....
