Hey man great video. Very well put together. I built it and it's working fine, except for it's off without pressin it, rather than on and being killed when pressed. I'd like to have it the other way around, like normal. Do you know what I did wrong or did I buy the wrong kind of switch? Thanks.

how does this work? Is it just press once and turn on to off? and press again to turn back on? Can it be used in normal sustain pedal inputs on keyboards?
