Momentary button to send effect with max value

I have a momentary button and I wanna send my send1 to max value (127). I also have a Knob1 that controls the send1. But additionally I want to have a that momentary button. For some reason I can’t manage to send the value of the send1 to max when pressed.

I tried with reaction, but without success (but maybe there is a easier way):

Listener: Button 1o was pressed
Action Block1:
Condition: Button 10 latest velocity value is equal – 127
Action: MIDI Controller – send MIDI velocity value to Controller input Knob1 Value 127
Action Block2:
Condition: Button 10 latest velocity value is not equal – 127
Action: MIDI Controller – send MIDI velocity value to Controller input Knob1 Value 0

Maybe it’s wront to send the velocity value to Knob1, but I couldn’t find an option how to set the send1 directly.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
Any help is appreciated

Cheers Glenn, thank you so much for taking your time to respond. I mean really! And super detailed… appreciate it bro.

Regarding Using Modifiers, I finally understood how to use them, thanks. Won’t go with that option, because I don’t wanna waste all modifiers and doesn’t sound like the smartest solution.

Regarding Using a List, to initialize the list with 0 makes sense to me. Did I get it right: one list represents one channel, and the list items represent each send value? Meaning I would create one list per channel? But I would still need 2 Reactions (pressed/released) for every Button, as I have above, correct?

Using one Reaction to control all Buttons

Now this is where it gets interesting. When you say Custom Code, you mean adding python code directly into CSS or via user.py file? I have coding background myself, so that would be a nice challenge for me.

However, I havn’t found any documentation that could help me here. Do you know if there’s any around besides the one youtube video?

There’s also a whole other approach possible with Custom Code where you keep a Reaction in Ableton’s loop until you release the button; this way you wouldn’t need to store the Send Value, because the Reaction will have remembered it until the release of the button

> This would be so dope. Would love to try, but not sure where to start

Anyways you helped a lot, thanks again!
