Just wanted to say the binding modifiers are terrific. Any chance of having a
#1 AND #2 = fire binding - function one day?

I think you can do that by checking both boxes, one after the other. Then they will appear in the condition dialog box separated by a comma.
Thanks Dave - yes, I experimented with that but it looks like the binding sees multiple set modifiers as an OR kind of status. In my testing, either #1 or #2 -when active - were capable of firing the dependent binding when both were selected in Source. (I could be wrong - it’s happened once or twice.)

Sorry Jack, my bad. AND means AND,lol. 
To do AND type boolean you need to use an expression. What exactly are you trying to set up?
Ha, yes - hence the caps.
Right, I could have used the expression option but that disables controller bi-direction which was sort of important in this case.
I’ve created a bunch of bindings to map the nine Nord drawbars (Stage 2) to the VB3ii plugin in sets of nine for each - Upper / Lower (manual) and A/B presets in the B3 paradigm. It works pretty well except I can’t create enough variable states to accommodate all permutations of Upper/Lower A/B in the bindings area - it’s a bit hard to explain in text but having a Boolean AND function of some sort would solve some of that.
Having the bi-direction working lets every VB3 program load state reflect correctly on the Nord organ section - drawbar position, leslie, vib, percussion etc etc. and switching to Upper/Lower A/B then allows for traditional live B3 button pressing etc without squinting at my Lilliput 10 inch.
Since I’m on this path - there is one other item that I’ll flag @brad for.
It seems that the bi-direction data for a binding that DOES NOT have a modifier match is still sent. It would be great if it didn’t do that. If a binding doesn’t have an active modifier match - it should ideally be dead for it’s given Source. There’s probably other factors there that I’m not aware of.

BTW @dave_dore , you’ve always been a tremendous resource in this group. I’ve watched your responses for many years - Thanks for all you do.

That’s a bug - it’s supposed to be AND, but it’s functioning as OR. I’ll fix this for the next build.

So, if it works with 2 or more Modifiers as an AND then for an OR setup I would need separate bindings to do it?
Correct

Build 4225 is up, now with correct AND behaviour.
Any thoughts on my comments re:CC bi-direction activity if binding is NOT fired ?
Thanks for your always blazing fast turn-arounds - amazing piece of software.

Hi @Jack_Harris
To be honest I’m not really sure how this should work and normally I wouldn’t suggest using modifiers on bi-directional bindings because it would mean the reverse binding would only trigger if the modifiers happened to be active when the target value changed.
I’m not sure that’s actually a useful behaviour is it?
