How do I get a supercontrol momentary to 'press' itself upon receiving a midi message?

you mean that you want it to echo out its own message?
No, I want the supercontrol button to "press" itself so all the subcontrol buttons get "pressed". The supercontrol does not send it's own message, it just "presses" many other buttons at once.
A supercontrol momentary should react to a MIDI message and show itself as pressed, and cause the other controls to react. Are you not finding this?
No, but I will try again with a simpler MIDI message. I was trying it with a complex sysex message.
So I would simply set the MIDI message in the supercontrol to the message I want the control to press itself on, and then make sure that "MIDI listen" is enabled on that control?
How do you set the "press" vs. "release" message?

Additionally, is there a way to set the label to the "value" of a MIDI message? (the "V" in the sysex message)
You could set labels if it were a knob or a slider using Named Ticks. With buttons, you get one label, on and off. The press message is more than .5 of the MIDI range (min to max), and off message is anything below that. Definitely try with something simple, though sysex will work.
