I just reloaded V3.0 on my Eclipse and the system bypass worked exactly as I described, needing a transition of a CC value of 64 to be activated, BUT it has the TRIGMODE function where you can select MOMENTARY vs. ON/OFF. When choosing MOMENTARY the bypass is engaged with any value transition, so a 0 to 1 wuld work fine. That's probably what you have used in the past.
Regarding a MIDI controller, anyone that supports MIDI CC vales range programming will work fine. Check the User Manual on any manufacturer website. The Rocktron ALL ACCESS will work. Others may suggest more options.
