Does anybody know of an object, external or other method to create a momentary toggle button that will turn on with mouse down and turn off with mouse up?

this is all you need to produce 1 on mouse down

and 0 on mouse up


What I meant was creating a button of some sort that outputs a 1 all the while it is pressed and a zero when it's released. That's momentary to me. I've removed toggle from the title of the thread!

As workaround I use ubutton with 1 & 0 messages.

You can also try pictctrl in button mode.

in 32bit max version there was rs.textbutton

which I used a lot.


I've been able to encapsulate my momentary button in an embedded bpatcher and save it as a snippet. Works a treat!
