🎯 Gate, Toggle… and now: Trigger!

At MIDILLI, ease of use and flexibility are always our top priorities.
That’s why, alongside the Gate and Toggle modes, we’ve added the much-requested Trigger mode!

Simply select “Trigger” from the Mode dropdown menu. Released value will automatically be grayed out.

Let’s quickly recap:

Gate: When the button is pressed, the Pressed Value is sent; when released, the Released Value is sent.
Toggle: Each press changes the signal state — the first press sends the Toggle On Value, the second press sends the Toggle Off Value.
Trigger: When the button is pressed, only the Pressed Value is sent. No value is sent when the button is released.

The new Trigger mode is perfect for scenarios requiring momentary triggering.
It’s ideal for triggering effects, scene changes, or short-duration events.

Plus, just like the other modes, Trigger fully supports automation.
When automation is enabled and used with alternate values, Trigger mode can behave somewhat like Gate mode. For example, while holding the button, it can repeatedly send signals switching between pressed and released values at specified intervals — but when released, no signal is sent.

To use it, simply update your firmware as well as the Configurator. If you need help on updating, check the respective section in the Configurator Manual.

Next Up: SysEx Message Builder

You can already do a lot with your controller, but what if you could also manipulate SysEx values using your Knobs, Faders, and Buttons? What if you could include them in your automation too?

If that sounds exciting, we’re happy to announce our upcoming update: SysEx Message Builder.

With this feature, you can create static SysEx messages to send via any available interface—or make them dynamic by embedding the current 7-bit or 14-bit value of a control element.

7-bit values range from 0 to 127
14-bit values range from 0 to 16,383

14-bit values are often used by combining a Most Significant Byte (MSB) and a Least Significant Byte (LSB), typically placed in that order. In the Configurator, you can use XX as a placeholder for the MSB and YY for the LSB. These will automatically be replaced with the current values from your control element when the message is sent.

Using SysEx with Buttons? That means full automation support—even for exclusive device functions. Yes, really!

Remember: In the Configurator, you enter the full value directly; splitting into MSB and LSB is handled automatically.

If you need help with conversions, our converter tool is available both online and within the Configurator.

Stay tuned! We will have more exciting updates soon!

MIDILLI Post-Launch Update: What’s New after 1.0 Release?

After our successful Kickstarter campaign, we were caught up in administrative work while also striving to bring even more to the table. At the same time, we were so eager to launch that some exciting features didn’t make it into the Release Trailer, even though they were available right after the 1.0 release. That’s why this update is coming a little later than planned—but trust us, it’s worth the wait!
