Nice gesture!

Thanks for doing that.

Can one foot pedal be used dynamically to stop recording on the selected track and active/selected clip?

I am setting up my equipment and software for looping.
I would like to activate recording in different tracks+clips with a pad, but stop recording with only one foot pedal.

Could STC or any other software help me out?

Equipment
I have a Novation 61SL MK3 keyboard and a foot pedal (one pedal).
The keyboard has pads (2x8) to activate tracks and start/stop clip recording within Live.

Here is my scenario
Imagine the session view in Ableton Live with 2 tracks.

I would like to activate track 1 (Drums) and record into the first clip.
I would do this by hitting the pad on my keyboard and start playing. (could be a Launchpad)

Normally, I would have to press the same pad to stop recording the clip (during the last bar).
However, I would like to use my foot pedal to stop the recording, instead of the pad.

The reason is that my hands are often busy playing the piano or guitar etc.
Hitting the pad before the bar is finished seems difficult in many situations.
However, using my foot should help.

For the foot pedal to work, it has to adapt to whatever track/clip is active and that I am currently recording to.
This means that,
- if I activate track 1 (drums) with a pad I want to stop recording with my foot pedal
- If I activate track 2 (piano) with another pad I want to stop recording with the same foot pedal

To be clear, I want each recording to continue playing/looping after the recording has stopped.

Does anyone know a good solution?

I made some minor changes to the python scripts of Selected Track Control.
For me it works now with Live 11 and python 3.

Do you know how to implement value scaling in these scripts?

I've added pickup mode for my own use and would like to complete the functionality. If there's no way that's built into the LOM, I think I know the algorithm.

I'm also working on adding the ability to open/close devices and show and hide vst windows which will round out my needs. For now.

It's a perfect project to learn Python on. I retired from 35 years programming 3 years ago and this is the first time I've touched it since. Very enjoyable!!

Sorry, that's beyond my knowledge. Usually I'm programming Java and C++ not knowing anything about python. Same as you I just started to learn Python to make STC work with Live 11. After reading a few pages of a python book I started to change STC and got it working.

I use STC only to control Ableton. Everthing else I do outside of ableton/python with a selfmade Midi router/translator software and the virtual midi router loopMidi from Tobias Erichsen. This works perfect for me and it's easy to change the behaviour on the fly. I don't have to change the python script and always restart ableton.
There are a lot of Midi router/translator Apps available which are very powerful.

Thanks for responding. I've been getting into it and the only things I'm missing now are a way to open vst windows and value scaling. It looks like the vst windows are difficult/impossible, so I'll focus on the value scaling. Tomorrow's task.

I'm wondering what the etiquette is regarding posting my modified version on the max devices site. Obviously it would be for free and I'll happily credit the original developer. If I can find them.
