Lets start with basics. What will we need to take as input, and what should we be outputting?
I want to take a modular approach, these will need to be reusable.
I want to keep things flexible so they can be used with other devices if possible.
Input:
– Device: The device we are controlling
– Channel: The midi channel we are listening and sending on
– Control: The midi note/cc on the channel we are listening and sending on
Output:
– Result: A bool value output of the button state
– Output: This will pass the midi data down to an execute operator
Trigger Button
Functionality:
When the button is pressed, it sends a single positive pulse to the result, and to the midi channel and cc/note number of the Apc40.
Explanation:
The midi input’s WasHit is connected directly to the midi output. This allows the pulse from WasHit to also light the button.
WasHit is passed as a bool as Result
Note: There is currently a UI bug in Tixl, the Result is actually connected to the WasHit.

Functionality:
When the button is pressed, it toggles between the on/off states of the button and outputs as the result, and to the midi channel and cc/note number of the Apc40.
Explanation:
From midi input, count every time WasHit is triggered.
If the counter is even, we send a positive to the midi output and result
We need to set the Default Value on CountInt to 1, since we are checking IfIntEven, it should start in an off/false/odd state
We can also set the Modulo on CountInt to 2, so we are not counting massive numbers, this will allow the counter to flipflop between 0 and 1.

Functionality:
When the button is pressed, it continuously sends a positive as the result, and to the midi channel and cc/note number of the Apc40.
Explanation:
From midi input, convert the float to an int using FloatToInt
Convert int to a bool using IsIntEven
Since the ON state of the float is 1, this is an ODD number, we need to invert the bool using NOT.
