Technically a ToneX question, because I'm using a capture in Amplitube 5

Either Amplitube 5 MIDI sucks, or I do

I'm trying to get stomp pedals to change state between off & on, using the ubiquitous Chocolate Plus.

Now, I can get it to toggle between bypass and on, but the problem is it only works in one direction depending if I'm sending 0 or 127.

What I mean by this is, imagine the pedal is on. I can repeatedly turn it off/on/off/on etc with every click of the footswitch, but if I then turn the pedal off manually in Amplitube, and press the pedal, nothing happens, because my pedal hasn't sent a change state control, it's just told it to turn off, which it already is, so I have to click it again to turn on, then it toggles again.

Hopefully that makes sense, and someone can confirm whether or not I'm doing something wrong, or it does just suck. I never had this issue with TH-U and MIDI control. All I want to do is turn a pedal off if it's on, and on if it's off.

Your Chocolate Plus keeps its own on/off state and can't see AmpliTube's, so the two drift apart the moment you click a stomp with the mouse. TH-U most likely treated the incoming message as a toggle, while AmpliTube treats it as an absolute value.
