Kick button - momentary (press and release capture)

Developer VST 3 SDK
1

Hello,

I am trying to capture a kick button both states “press” and “release”, but I only get the “release” state. How I can get both? I want make an action while the button is pressed, and stop it when it is released (ONLY start it when it is pressed).

Inside my processor>process method:

…etc…
if (pid == getTriggerParamID(osc)) {

            std::string msg = "[DEBUG] Trigger Osc " + std::to_string(osc)
                + " - Valor: " + std::to_string(value)
                + " (" + (value > 0.5f ? "ON" : "OFF") + ")";
            debugOutput(msg);
            
            if (value > 0.5f) {
                DiscoFXs[osc].setTrigger(true);
                debugOutput("Trigger activated");
            }
            else {
                debugOutput("Trigger de-activated");
            }
        }

…etc.

When I press and release the button, only the release is captured, it prints:

[DEBUG] Trigger Osc 0 - Valor: 0.000000 (OFF)
Trigger de-activated
