how to change toggle on/off behaviour ?

dear all,
is it possible to setup how an interface element behaves to midi signals? i am currently testing a midi controller which sends out ON signals from buttons when pushed and OFF when the buttons are released. i would like to suppress the OFF on release, and have the OFF signal on a second push.
example: use the button to switch on a layer to visible (first push) and to switch it off on second push.
maybe it can be done with a module like LB-CC remap?
help greatly appreciated!!

has anyone experience with the app "midipipe" to manipulate midi signals running into m8?
help greatly appreciated!

Hi,
yes, that would be interesting to know how to use midi pipe with modul8 ..
how can you make modul8 only see the virtual ports of midipipe, and not the native ones ?
I'm using very very special triggers (homemade instruments, sticked with little midi triggers, through a s5000 sampler)... the midi signal is too short and has to be modified via midipipe to be long enough for modul8. (10ms in this case)
This works quite well...
But my problem is that the original short signal (from the native midi interface ..) is still viewed by modul8-, and I would like to get rid of it
In fact modul8 sees both signals ..
{'timestamp': 1029322884774.0, 'channel': 1, 'param1': 62, 'message': 'NOTE_ON', 'rawEvent': 144, 'param2': 127}
{'timestamp': 1029323884774.0, 'channel': 1, 'param1': 62, 'message': 'NOTE_ON', 'rawEvent': 144, 'param2': 0}
{'timestamp': 1029322884774.0, 'channel': 3, 'param1': 62, 'message': 'NOTE_ON', 'rawEvent': 146, 'param2': 127}
{'timestamp': 1029333884774.0, 'channel': 3, 'param1': 62, 'message': 'NOTE_ON', 'rawEvent': 146, 'param2': 0}
two events, for one trig ..
and nothing in modul8 to select the interface you want to use ... all are used by default ?
in fact, I've got a midi A with chan1 and a midi B with chan 1 & 2, all with weird signal, that I want to clean and send to modul8 on 1 port / 3 channels.
This is to make a live band performance ... controlling modul8 while playing instruments, without any vjay, and with video reacting in real time with music played by humans ...
thanks for help
I'll tell you if I find any solution, will go on searching, i'm on a good way ..

re,
i've found
when you set your pipe .. let's say ...
MIDI IN (native midi port A)
DURATION (500 ms ..)
MIDI OUT (virtual pipe)
you must check "détour" (in french, sorry

in the midi in options
modul8 only sees the virtual midi port , and not the other one
this means you can re-work any signal from any midi device (and be sure i've got strange ones !), to make it convenient for modul8
very very interesting
and thanks for your wonderful soft !!
bye

ps: is it possible to get the specs of modul8 for time delays need by the differents options (all) useable with midi ?
