Hi,  
I know you already discuss it some time but sorry I’m a fool and can’t use explanation already sent.

I’d like to send a bunch of midi message when a press a MCU Switch long (note on/off input, but I’d like to use MIDI RAW/SYSEX for more flexibility) and another bunch of midi message whenever I press the same switch short…

Sorry asking again but can’t solve the problem. Trying with Timer, but also there I can’t understand how to use it.

Usually I solve this with a counter but I can’t set up this in Bome.

Sorry again, any help appreciate, thanks in advance, cheers.

Eriberto

Hi,

Have you seen my post about [Gestures](https://forum.bome.com/t/double-tap-midi-input/1281/2)? I have set up for:

- Short tap and release
- Press and hold
- Double Press and release
- Double Press and hold

Hi,  
sorry i didn’t find that… a little bit more complicated than my needing but I understand it partitioning all commands as you explain.  
At the beginning nothing works here due to “—first Note” translator that can’t understand what does.

Unchecking that, now I can do all I need.

Thanks a lot, cheers, Eriberto
