Assigning MIDI for stopping clip recording?

[agent314]

Is there any way to have a single command (ideally triggered by a MIDI footswitch through my APC40) that serves as a general 'stop recording and start looping the clip' when I'm recording into a clip space?

So, say I have a track that I'm playing a guitar part on.

I start the recording via one of the APC/Launchpad clip buttons, play my shit,
then when I hit that same clip launch button, it stops recording at the next quantize point and starts looping it.

What I'd like to be able to do is have have a single command to perform that action, but for whatever the current clip is.

So is there a way to set up a single MIDI control that will act as a general-purpose 'clip launch/stop' button for whatever clip is currently recording/selected?

I'm trying to figure out a way to put together a streamlined realtime loop-recording workflow for live performance.

use a translator to generate an "enter" keystroke,

or figure out how to send whatever message is on the "zoom" key on a mackie control. use that on a controller in mackie control mode

You don´t want the clip to stop, you want the recording to stop and the clip start looping, right?

Just press the your play button again.

The global transport play button or the one for the clip? I know the one for the clip will do it - but I am looking to assign a single MIDI control that will act as the individual clip's play button, regardless of which clip is selected.

If the global play button will do this, that would probably work out nicely...

there's the scenelaunch- and the tracklaunch-buttons which are midiassignable (visible in midimap mode), the first will start looping the clip that is being recorded (if the scene the clip is in, is selected), the second will (obviously) start the scene.
I don't think there is a general button to start looping the clip that's being recorded, but if there is I'd like to know!

Hmm - track launch is getting me closer to where I want to be. Did not know about that feature - thank you much
