Hi all,

I have a stem mapped to the beatgrid effect. I would like it to only activate upon being pressed. Tried numerous things but to no avail.

padfx "Beat Grid" "stemfx:MeloRhythm"

That's the command I want ONLY when the Pad8 is pressed on STEMS

This didn't work. It's still a press on press off

Apologies, I meant I want it to be active ONLY when held down

have you tried:
down ? padfx "Beat Grid" "stemfx:MeloRhythm" on : padfx "Beat Grid" "stemfx:MeloRhythm" off

since "smart_pressed", is smart.. and has 2 different actions..
Toggles if quick press or Temporary if longer press.

assume you were doing the quick press and got the toggle action.
(and maybe you may still prefer the smart_press since you have choices)

Thank you! I tried that down ? thing before but must have had the wrong wording. Works perfect thank you
