I bought this footswitch as recommended by your documentation, but as I understand the Footswitch cannot be programmed to send a midi not without sending an "off" note after - therefor there's no way (that I can understand) to do a toggle. Everything is momentary. And any time I try to research toggling it only sends me to CC options. (which are a pain in the butt btw) Problem is that the first section of your commands doesn't have CC numbers - only Midi notes. How are you guys getting a - say - blackout to toggle on and off when they are only listed as Midi notes? --Specifically with this foot pedal. They only way that I've read to get the Behringer to actually do this is custom firmware on an Eprom. Not really a solution. Help!

The model is the title of the post? This is listed first in your documentation however the footswitch itself sends a note off after every midi note it sends unless you purchase aftermarket eproms which are getting harder to find. In terms of a CC number - your documentation doesn't have CC numbers for the first listed actions so for example I can't CC blackout or strobe - they are only listed as midi notes. This makes the footswitch unusable for toggle or "latching" I believe you call it. I realize I'm saying the same thing - just in a different way, but I feel like you missed what I was asking. If you actually look at your documentation you'll see what I mean. Thanks for your time!

Hi Brandon!


Sorry for the delayed replay, which footswitch have you purchased?  If it was recommended in our documentation, it's likely there is a way to program it to work.  

BTW.  We have different Note ON key values for momentary and toggle within maestro - so you should be able to choose the behavior you want by selecting the NOTEON value you want.  


Please reach out to our support team, definitely recommend office hours
