Having a single "1" output for one control period is not easy to implement,
because the button does not run at k-rate, but is rather called
asynchronously from a callback. So, it is possible to have the output
set to the "ion" value when the button is pushed (i.e. the orchestra is
responsible for clearing it to "ioff" later), or maybe "ion" while the
button is held in the "down" position and "ioff" otherwise - but this
would only work when the button is clicked with the mouse, and not when
used with the keyboard.
Is the first solution (only setting to "ion" when activated) acceptable ?
