Is there a way to trigger a button with a button? I’d like to use pilot to send one channel exclusively to one output. It’s not possible to realize that in the audio mixer, so I thought it might be possible with pilot. The logic should be: if one button is toggled to on, the other button should toggle to off. Is that possible? ---

It’s only possible if the initial triggered button is done via MIDI. The loopback allows you to send a message from one widget directly to another. However since they send/receive from the same OSC Address, and the loopback mode turns off external connections, MIDI would have to be how you drive the source. ---

Thanks, but I like to fully stick to OSC, because I don’t want to rely on Midi over PC. Could you please add this function to OSC/Pilot?
