Description

A simple midi device to add the LATCH function : It l HOLD any triggered note even if you realease it. This device has 2 modes (polyphonic and monophonic) and a very useful toggle behaviour (if you retriger a holded note, it stop it).

Main features

=========

- Hold/release button

- Monophonic/polyphonic modes

- Monitoring : display a list of holded notes

- Toggle behaviour : when retriever a hooded note, it stops this note

- Panic Button : stop all midi note event

There are a lot of Note Hold device available. I tryed them but on every there is a little problem… so I wrote this. If you encounter a trouble, please mail me.

Enjoy playing !

    This is great! you might consider renaming it "Latch", since that's the function that it's replicating. That being said, thanks for making this. I've been looking for a latch function that's modular and disconnected from the internal ones in plugins, and this will do great.

    This is just great, i actually only wanted the panic... couldn't get the note off when switching between instruments or turning them off. Thx so much

    hi great device, would it be possible to note group reset, where the sequence is reset if a group of notes are played at the same time, kind of like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/hydrasynth/comments/v1vwkc/arpeggiator_latch_function/?rdt=57624
    thanks

    actually never mind the built in Hold function of ableton's arpeggiator is what i needed.

    amazing device! i needed a way to allow monophonic midi expression while still retaining the sustain of my samples (using Sampler). now i can use a Korg nanoKEY2 to trigger ambient pads...press a key and that pad fades in...press another key and another pad fades in while the old sample fades away
