Activity performed [only] while button is held.

Is there currently a way to make a button perform an activity whilst it's held down? Instead of being a threshold waiting for a finger removal (tap) or a certain duration (long press) I think it'd be useful to have true HOLD event that only performs during the press and stops once the finger is removed. For example I had an idea to create a drum pad scene like a sampler with buttons to record sounds to.
