Logically, how will the button work if both of the button's pins are grounded? You connect these 2 pins in place of the 2 pins of the LEFT or the RIGHT button.


:lol: :lol: :lol: Silly me!!! I thought that the rotary encoders could do it all without having to mess with the push buttons pins... I think I will have to live without this function then, since I chose to attach the encoders to my rack and not on Megadrum case (it's a bit difficult to reach)... For that reason, I connected each encoder to a female TRS jack and also installed another 2 female TRS jacks on Megadrum case, first one going to pins 4-5 on Atmega (plus GND) and the second one going to pins 24-25 on Atmega (plus GND again). Now I can very easily control my Megadrum...
Going on means going far. Going far means returning...
