Description

Holds note(s) on until the same note(s) are pressed again, effectively making a note into a toggle rather than a momentary switch. Latch is different from sustain, in that the on/off values of notes can be controlled individually. The patch demonstrates the use of midiselect and midiformat, stripnote, flush, pack and unpack, table, send and receive.

Two issues remain, for which I'd appreciate any help or comments: how to control presentation/patcher layers so that not everything is shown in the Live window, as now; and how to encapsulate the device so that it can be instanced on more than one track at a time.
