remoting track rec activity (Midi In)

Post by akust » Thu Apr 12, 2007 12:08 pm

Has someone experience how to remote rec activity?

I thought it would be pretty simple:
In different scenes I want to play with same Midi Control to different Instruments. So I "simply" remote the Rec-activity button on/off (via midi-> MidiLoopback -> remote Rec Button).

But the Rec activity Button is pretty difficult to be remoted:
1. when I switch on track Rec-activity buttons by hand it switches all other active Rec buttons off. Thats very useful for me. But: remoted it doesn't work like this! When I remote a Rec on/off, other Rec Buttons keep active. Is there an option to set the behavior to the same like switched by hand (like "exclusive" for Solo)?

2, Rec activity toggles in flipflop. This way I can not set a definite state by remote. Is there a possibility to change the Rec switch from flipflop-toggle to absolute? e.g. CC#20 val=127 -> Rec on; val=0 -> Rec off

...both behaviors together causes pretty sure a Rec on/off chaos what confuses and breaks me out at the moment.

any tips?


btw. and not really important at the moment but strange:
The Solo and Rec buttons (i used notes) don't send it's remote state - is it intended?
