  • 3PDT as on/on in midi stompbox?

    Hi.

    I've built a stompbox to control midi using a usb gampad.
    The current schematic makes it acting as a on/off switch.
    Basiclly it means i have to press the switch four times to have it act as a signal sender.
    Pressing it causes the midi signal to stay active instead of activate and deactive as it should have done with a momentary switch.
    Thing is i need to keep the on/off function for the LED since the gamepad pcb can recive midisignals.
    Im attaching a pic of the scheme i made and are using right now.
    I would like to know if it's possible to wire the switch act as on/on, send a signal when pressed and release it at the same time.
    I've done a post in another forum about the build with plenty of pics in the first post, take a look so you get a picture of what it is.

    Thanks in advance!

    O/K .
    I'm confused.
    What switch type do you presently have.
    A Momentary.
    Or a Maintained.
    It sounds like you want a momentary signal but a maintained LED?
    No?

      Sorry if i confused you, i figured my description was a bit fuzzy.
      The switches i have are maintained. They work as on/off switches i guess.
      And you understood me exaclty correct, i want the switch to work as a momentary for the signal but as a maintained for the LED.
      Is this even possible with switches like my ones?

        Nope.
        It will require an actiive circuit to maintain the LED or another switch specifically for the LED.
