Is it possible to have a button invert a value?

I have a Dimmers Full button that sets all the dimmers to max, and if I press it again the dimmers turn off. However I have a second button which fades dimmers up to full and holds. If I press the dimmers full button after the fade in button there is effectively no change. I basically have to hit the button twice to cut the lights in that scenario. Is it possible to create a button that will set dimmers to 0 if there are at 255, and set them to 255 if they are at 0? Or is there another approach to achieve my desired outcome?

Current Flow:
1. Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
2. Fade In(Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)

Desired Flow
1. Dimmers Full (Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)
2. Fade In(Lights On) -> Dimmers Full (Lights Off)


Currently my workaround is to use a Stop All Functions button. However that wastes an entire button on my midi device. For context I'm a drummer controlling this live and I need to minimize time to activate functions, and maximize my button options while playing.

Welcome to the community,

I think your best friend will become the solo frame. Only one control will be active at any given time. Dimmers typically use the HTP logic, but the LTP logic may be wanted in your case. With LTP, the latest information stays active.
