Thanks for that Eddy, your setup is using only 1 pin for touch off but I am trying to use 2 like I got working on my PMDX 122. What I am trying to figure out now is how to pass one signal in to trigger the right macro and have the touch off signal read on another, in this case (as in yours) pin 15 on port 1.

I got a reply from Steve at PMDX and as indicated above it is not the 126. This is telling me it is the ESS somehow getting in the way of the port selection or being fixed on one port for the digitize signal. Really bloody annoying how I can increase the technology in my machine yet decrease the usability.....
