KEY BEHAVIOUR DETAIL
For midi, when you press the key, it sends either CC value 127 or Note value 127 (note on) and when you release the key, it sends CC value 0 or Note value 0 (note off)
For HCI, it works like a keyboard. when you press, it sends a key signal. If you keep pressing, it sends the same signal until you release the key. If it was a mouse click feature, it would work like a mouse click.
