No Midi Mapping Option to Start Record

Support

Hi

I dont see an option in the Settings> MIDI Mapping list to map a command to Record. As there it is possible to have a Record button on the various Ableset pages, is it possible to have it MIDI mapped so I can start it with my foot controller?

Thanks

Hey @GuitarMark,

You can absolutely do this with a Custom OSC mapping:

  1. Go to Settings > MIDI Mapping, OSC & Scripting > Edit MIDI Mapping
  2. Add a new mapping for your foot controller (channel, note, or CC)
  3. Set the Action to Custom OSC
  4. In the field that appears, paste this command:

/global/startRecording

Now when you press that footswitch, it’ll start recording in Live.

If you want separate footswitches or actions for start and stop, you could also use:

  • Start: /global/startRecording
  • Stop: /global/stopRecording

Or if you prefer a single toggle, use /global/toggleRecording

Hope that helps!
