Triggering macro with MIDI chord

Hello.

I'm wondering if there's a way to trigger a macro with a MIDI chord instead of just a single note. I tried creating multiple triggers with the different notes of the chord, but the individual notes still triggered the macro.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

No there is no support for “AND” triggers. Trigger events always come in sequentially, so it makes no real sense to have an “AND” trigger - you cannot have two notes pressed at the same time.

You could have multiple macros, two for each MIDI note, one for pressed, one for released. Each macro just records whether the key is down (so one sets a variable to 1 and the other sets the variable to 0). And on each press you can test whether all the variables are set to 1 and if so handle the chord case.

Thank you for the reply, Peter.

Can a macro be triggered solely by a variable achieving a value?

No. There is no “Variable Changed” trigger or anything like that.

You need to manually use an Execute a Macro action.
