two switches one target

[funkyguitarist]

hello

i m trying to achieve the following;

when i press the switch i have assigned to the piano roll s record function
i want the piano roll to play automatically.
then when i press another switch connected to the "play loop" function i want the piano roll to stop.

switching both when recording is easy: i simply connect the two switches.


but then i cannot use the second one independently to stop the playing process independent from the recording process.

i hope that makes sense somehow.
in my simple imagination of "hollyhock" a switch sends a value to a target and then releases the target so that another switch can change the value. but it seems that the value is tied to the position of the switch as long as it is connected to the target. the question is: how can i get around this.


any help greatly appreciated


cheers mark

Your best friend:

the 'pass only if changed' module in the events branch of the tree.

This keeps your input from being 'tied' to the output. You need them every time you want more than one think controlling something. I have dozens of them in my wkp
