midi script with 2 issues

Hallo Everyone,

Im still busy with my project and to finally finish it I need two problems solved...Any help is welcome:)

So here I go.

I am building a midi foot controller. It has a 13 key keyboard that sends Noteon and off messages. Also 7 pushbuttons; the first six sends CC messages and the seventh is a shift button, which i use to change channels and octave up and down.

Problem 1: the six buttons that sends ccmessages only do that once, when i have pressed a button that button becomes inactive. Been staring at the script for some time but cant figure it out...

Problem 2: Sometimes a noteOff message is not send. Is there a way to make sure it will be sended?

Maybe all the code is a bit much so Ill narrow it down a bit

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

byte midi_start = 0xfa;
byte midi_stop = 0xfc;
byte midi_clock = 0xf8;
byte midi_continue = 0xfb;
int play_flag = 0;
byte data;
byte counter;
int ledPin = 13;
unsigned long count;
float ccc;
unsigned long lastcount;
int bpm = 120;
int lastbpm = 0;
int bpmhoog;
int bpmlaag;
float calcbpm;
int output_pin = 50;
int val = 0;
const int notes[13] = {22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34};
const int foot[7] = {36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42};

boolean noteOn[13] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};
boolean noteLast[13] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};

boolean footOn[7] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
boolean footLast[7] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

const int noteCount = 13;
const int footCount = 6;

i suppose there is a mistake here

  if ( mode  == 0) {


    for (char n = 0; n < noteCount; n++) {
      noteOn[n] = digitalRead(notes[n]);

      if ((noteOn[n] == LOW) && (noteLast[n] != noteOn[n])) {
        midi(NoteAanLast, keysLast + n, 0x7F);
        noteLast[n] = noteOn[n];
      }



      if (noteLast[n] != noteOn[n]) {
        midi(NoteUitLast, keysLast + n, 0x7F);
        noteLast[n] = noteOn[n];
      }


    }
    for (char m = 0; m < footCount; m++) {
      footOn[m] = digitalRead(foot[m]);

      if ((footOn[m] == HIGH) && (footLast[m] != footOn[m])) {
        midiCC(CCChannel, midiCCselect + m, 0x7F);
        footLast[m] = footOn[m];
      }



    }
}

btw because the notes are triggered by switches that break contact and CC are triggered by switches that make contact theres a difference in HIGH and LOW
