Thank you very much for your answer. I hope the developers will still add this function. Something like that is quite important for many people.

Currently Organteq doesn't support MIDI through messages: there's no output for internal state changes. Hopefully that comes in a future update. So there's currently no way (at least that I'm aware of), except the main UI to track internal application state, be it stops, couplers, etc. unfortunately.

In fairness, the crescendo shoe and tutti pistons don't change the "state" of stops--it engages them internally but doesn't actually open the stop which means they're functionally half-on as you can change the crescendo shoe or tutti piston and it will go back to the previous open stoplist which is why the UI has the transparency setting for that, but the combination system does directly engage stops and fails to send out those as state change messages.

For controlling my organ, I use a touchscreen which I programmed myself with a microcontroller. This sends a Note ON and Note OFF for each button. With this, I can teach and control the stops of the organ. However, I have now noticed that OrganTEQ does not send MIDI signals when a stop is turned on or off within the program. Therefore, when using combinations or crescendo, my display is no longer correct because it doesn't receive any information about the changes. I actually thought that OrganTEQ, like other programs, would also send a Note ON/Note OFF when a stop is engaged. Am I doing something wrong?

And finally, a little interlude for in between
