I was able to just update to the beta and that worked to get the newest version of the plugin.
I’m able to get a variable to update it’s number based on the conditions you showed in that screenshot. However I need it to be variable = 1 if “note on” and variable = 2 if “note off”. I can get both of those things to work if I create two seperate triggers, however for some reason when both are running it won’t trigger the first variable change, only the second. Any idea? Here is a link showing an example of what’s happening: [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eyppn8tljik8vmwnip83x/163180E0-450D-43F8-9899-0132FE18465F.mov?rlkey=kxe74vcxop4pw2kitfs1ixhmx&st=7w5rl9q3&dl=0)

Thank you for the video.
I don’t think you need to get so complicated with Triggers and so on. Just regular feedback will work.
If you want the button red when it receives note 46 at 127 velocity, it’s simply this:

That’s what I was thinking would work but for me, it doesn’t work. It works correctly inside of a trigger and creating a variable, so I’m able to see that the midi note comes in and adjusts the variable. But when I use that same midi connection as a feedback using the Note On and Note Off feedbacks, it’s not setting the BG color. Do you mind checking to see if Note On feedback works for you?
Here is another video showing me trying this method: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jm81omj985km0h0rxekas/IMG\_8259.mov?rlkey=0w072szxzufr4t0qcjx1jq4qa&st=fbq87vgg&dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jm81omj985km0h0rxekas/IMG_8259.mov?rlkey=0w072szxzufr4t0qcjx1jq4qa&st=fbq87vgg&dl=0)

I was able to get it to work in a pretty complex way using variables haha. In the end when one variable runs, it turns off that variable and re-enables the other variable. And viceversa

Still seems overly-complex!
