... or any other button, I think, via the faders' "key override"
settings ("Override by button" in BC Manager).

I can't think of a simple way. I think the BCF indeed works the way
you describe, i.e. releasing the faders as soon as you release the button.

It MIGHT be possible to have a button send a sequence of MIDI messages
that redefine a fader, and then loop this sequence back to the BCF.
However, due to the way BCL (the BCF's definition protocol) works,
you'd have to send along ALL the fader's settings, so that wouldn't be
very practical. In fact, I doubt if there will be enough room in the
button's "custom output" (".tx") definition area (the maximum is 125
bytes); but maybe you could have a MIDI translator program convert a
single message from the button to the whole bunch.

Mark.
