Hi Geoff,

I have been experimenting with my BCR2000 to use it as an FX controller in CSI.
I created a preset on the BCR where every button sends an "on" midi message when pressed, and an "off" message when released, identical to the behavior of my QCon surface, or the MCU.
However, the BCR2000 shows the same odd behavior as already seen for the X-Touch: the BCR always turns off the LED in the button when released. So, it requires CSI to resend the actual state the LED should be showing when it receives the 'release' message for the button.
From this thread I read that there are variations of the Button widget, ending in 'FB' and 'FBR'. According to the X-Touch posts, the '..FBR' should be the correct one, but it seems it is not sending the correct state message: when I have output monitoring on in CSI I can verify that a message is sent, but not with the correct state of the controlled parameter (e.g. 'Play').
I saw that you have been working on this with mschnell in the past (for the X-Touch) but the discussion seems to have ended unresolved.
Is there anything I can do to help debugging this?
