There is
no reason MOMENTARY needs to be restricted to TOGGLED
controls. There just needs to be a hint to specify what the "inactive"
value should be, which is the value that a compliant host must set the
port to after using a MOMENTARY with an "active" value.
I guess thats true, but if its retricted to toggled ports it will still be
usable in non compliant hosts, and the value has to switch between two
values, so it may as well be 0.0 and 1.0.
Well, a non-compliant host won't do anything with a momentary
hint, so the momentary action won't be happening anyway. The
plugin itself isn't supposed to modify input controls so it can't
do it itself (although it would be much easier).
just casting my vote for MOMENTARY. it would make the job of creating
plugins that are driven by "tap-to-change" controls much easier.
