Could you please explain the "Latch" option when assigning midi shortcuts, I did not find it in the documentation?
the "Latch" option is only applicable to on/off toggle subjects and relates to "latch" vs. "momentary" (opposite) modes of switches--latch=OFF is same as momentary=ON and vice versa--and applies mostly to foot-switches (or pedal controllers) mode of operation.
latch (=on) mode is the default setting for most controllers, but when you have a midi controller that operates in "momentary" mode, it usually sends an event when you press (0->1) and another one when you depress (1->0)--that's why it is said "momentary": the switch state is only signaled momentarily on while you keep the switch pressed, returning to its former state when you depress it.
setting the "Latch" option to OFF for these later cases, will simulate a toggle switch, meaning that the target subject state will only change to ON _or_ OFF when the switch is _either_ being pressed _or_ depressed, respectively.
