Midi control of live recording mode?

hypnosapien · 2014-03-26T20:52:20.000Z

I’d like to enter into live recording mode using some form of footswitch. I don’t see live recording mode noted in the midi spec. Does anyone know if this is somehow possible?

I’m playing a Nord Drum and would love to be able to record midi loops live without having to reach over and press rec + play…

not possible. really hope to see greater MIDI control of global parameters implemented in the future. especially the mixer settings.

Thanks for the reply. Too bad, I would love to use this thing as a midi looper. Perhaps in a future update…

It seems it is possible with the OktaKontrol controller (unless I’m missing something) I’ve posted a thread on it here!

you are missing something. . the op wants to be able to switch midi live recording mode on and off via midi so he can jam some midi loops in from his nord drum…switching in and out with a footswitch. the oktakontrol is a (very nice) midi control surface for controlling tracks levels, mutes and solos.
sadly there is currently no way of addressing the OT via midi to switch live recording on and off for midi tracks.

Hey guys

I was wondering if anybody knew, if its possible to trigger the Octatracks live recording mode via Midi cc. Couldnt find it in the charts.

My idea is to use a button on my midi keyboard to trigger the live recording mode for a midi track.

Thanks !

Nope. Not possible.
