Setting a group of sysex buttons to null value

Question

I am working on a layout for a Switchblade guitar effect switcher. It has 150 or so buttons, each of which sends a sysex string to the device. A given order of sysex message creates an effects patch for guitar from multiple devices. I am trying to use group presets to store and recall these patches. It works, but I can't figure out how to set the buttons up so I can specify which ones should be included in the stored preset. They work when I do it manually, but the state of the buttons doesn't seem to be stored after I press them. I would like to be able to set the layout to an empty state, press the desired subset of buttons, and save them to a preset.

The buttons I have are have a toggle subtype, and they send a Sysex message.

so they're just buttons, not a button group?

Yes, they are just buttons, not a button group.

I forgot to mention that I'm storing and recalling the presets with a knob and two buttons as suggested in your group presets video. So since the buttons are now controlled by a knob, are they in a button group?

No. Presets overrides Button Group, so they're not a button group if the super is presets or presets + channel changer. It should work and recall the state of the buttons. Do you want to send me the layout, or the page (if it's just one page)? You can just mail it to support at mididesigner dot com and mention this QA ticket in the email subject, please.

Thanks!
