Logitech Panels as Midi Devices

Featured Replies

Can I get some explanation (or documentation reference) for the various options under "Add Button Assignment" and how they impact the use of switches and buttons of Logitech Panels as midi devices? When I first open the "Add Button Assignment" dialog box and start flipping switches and buttons on my switch and multi-panel, I get something like "CHN: ? EVT: ????? CLICK" for each switch or button, for both on (or pressed) or off (unpressed) states. Then, if I select "Rocker" and do the same test, I get a different behavior. I might get a "CLICK" event for the first change of a button or switch, but all of the following changes will be a "LEFT" or "RIGHT" event.

If I then reset "Rocker," some of the switches or buttons will continue to generate "LEFT" and "RIGHT" events, but at some point some of the switches will start generating only "CLICK" events again. It's difficult to predict what event a switch will generate under what condition, so I'm not sure how to ensure that a switch change will be recognized and acted upon in a deterministic way.

There doesn't seem to be any explanation for these options in the MSFS document.

I'd like to use the Logitech panels as midi devices because I want to be able to distinguish between a long click and a short click, especially on the multi-panel. Hopefully, someone can help me understand what's happening.

"Rocker" and "endless" are irrelevant for this purpose. They are for the different types of rotary encoders that the various manufacturers of MIDI devices use (especially Korg). 

The controls on the Saitek in MIDI mode  should send clicks. Their value can depend on the position that the selector switch is in (like the the rotary on the MP). When the events seem to disagree, close the assignment dialog and reopen it.
