Toggling Record Arm with APC20?

Post by thisissami » Thu Sep 20, 2012 2:08 am

Hi All,

By default, pressing a record arm button on the APC20 makes that track be the sole recording track. I'd like to be able to have multiple simultaneous tracks be recordable, and I'd like to be able to switch whatever is recording on the fly.

Holding the command/ctrl button while clicking the record arm button with a mouse achieves this affect, but holding command/ctrl and pressing the record arm button on the APC20 does not. In a live show, I will not have the time to use my mouse.

Does anybody have any suggestions for how to achieve my desired effect?

Best,
Sami

This is usable to record arm more than one track initially, but it fails after that.

If I press any one of those armed tracks with the intention of un-arming it, i end up unarming everything. If i press a non-armed track, it ends up arming itself while unarming everything else.

Unfortunately not the individual toggle effect that I'm seeking...
