I want to control the Pads on my Korg Kronos remotely, such that a chord continues to play once a button is pressed, but stops player either when the switch is hit again or when the switch for another pad is pressed. The Kronos does not allow for such things.

So I'm looking for a MIDI controller with 8 instant access buttons that can each send a latching MIDI CC or MIDI Note, but stop sending when pressed again (nothing special there) or when another switch is pressed.

With my Ground Control Pro I can send a latching MIDI CC with a button but have to click it again to disable before I enable another one, because otherwise two notes/chords will ring simultaneously. Doing it the other way around (first disabling the ringing chord and then enabling the next) obviously causes a gap, and will be more tap dancing for the one controlling it.

Just thinking out loud here ---

Can you program Ground Control switch/button to send MIDI CC #64 (sustain) with a value of 127 (on), but only on button UP?

If so, then for each switch, you could program a sustain off on button DOWN, and then the desired MIDI note to trigger the pad...
