Use MIDI notes as scene triggers, not velocity

Please offer the option to trigger scenes via MIDI note values (on and off) instead of velocity.
This makes the Novation Launchpad and other grid controllers ideal for this kind of thing.
Or just a standard keyboard controller, for that matter.
At least make the option to trigger this way.

I've been using Ableton Live, and midi clips with various MIDI notes with carefully selected velocities by mouse in advance in order to create a workaround for this. Sort of a pain in the butt. But if we use note assignments? I can swap out controllers without thinking about it in advance.

I'm a musician first, the video triggering aspect is not my primary skill.
Otherwise I am very happy with MV. I haven't upgraded to 1.6 yet, not until my show in September is over.

This was added in Magic v1.61 :).

oh... wonderful!
Maybe I should take the leap and update tonight since I'm rebuilding my performance from scratch. :)
