Brain Jr with a softpot for different notes

Hello!

For my first build I am trying to add some midi controls to my guitar. 

I am trying to figure out the best way to use a brain jr to translate the note and/or cc data from a softpot to different notes in Ableton.  I am able to get use a pitch modifier to to alter the messages, but that requires using another midi button to trigger the note, and the softpot to alter it to different pitches.  I'd love to be able to do it all with the softpot!  Many thanks for any ideas!
