This feature can be used when you need to scroll through different settings on your MIDI devices. For example, on the Jackson Golden Boy, CC#3 controls the clipping diodes settings, where CC values 1 - 4 engages a different clipping diode setting. With this feature, I can have access to all this settings in one Preset.

Why must it be a Release action?

We allowed only a Release action to trigger the Message Scroll function so that the user can still execute other actions in the same Preset. For example, since the Release scrolls through the list of (release) messages, you can still use a Double Tap or Long Press to do execute something else, without triggering the Release message scroll action.

How do I tell which message I am currently at?
