I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig? “Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”

That includes a start to record button. {edit} It can control other DAWs as well. Last edited by MarioD; 06/09/23 02:34 AM. I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I looked through the manual and did not find anything. There is a sync start button on the keyboard that starts the internal recorder. Billy Last edited by Planobilly; 06/09/23 06:31 AM. “Amazing!

I believe the control your DAW feature is only a couple of years old.

The solution for me was finding the particular time clock setting in RB/PT (DAW) that allowed sending this data. So instead of Start/Stop from the keyboard I would Start/Stop from the computer. Give yourself a couple seconds to reposition, and you're good to go. Last edited by rharv; 06/09/23 12:05 PM. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

You can set your keyboard to do any function in studio one by sending the hot key or accessing S1 menus. Rather than: winactivate,ahk_class TBandWindow you will have winactivate,ahk_class StudioOne (whatever name it users you get by running the windows spy.ahk and clicking on the S1 window will give the name to use)

OP Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,703 Gulf Of Mexico As Of Late	Thanks, guys. Yes, the keyboard is 20 years old. I have rebuilt the main electronics board twice and built a new power supply. Fortunately, all the mechanical parts are in great shape. I like the feel of the keys better than anything else I have tried. There are a few of these Technics keyboards for sale on Reverb. They are pricy for such an old keyboard. But...a modern keyboard to replace it is 3k to 5k. I have the keyboard set up in Studio One, both Midi and analog out from the keyboard. The midi signal is using an aftermarket USB device Roland UM-One. I also have midi cables if I need them. The new Focusrite interface has midi ports. I will try to figure out the script.

It will send numpad * for record and spacebar for stop. You can preset the midi notes with "Choose1" "Choose3" All the other actions are for Biab, I can remove them if you just want the last 2 functions. Code: Gui, Add, Text, x10 y590, Function 7 Midi Note: Gui, Add, DropDownList, gCheckNote7 vFunction7 Choose1 x10 y610, %RangeNote% Gui, Add, Text, x150 y610, S1 Record Gui, Add, Text, x10 y640, Function 8 Midi Note: Gui, Add, DropDownList, gCheckNote8 vFunction8 Choose3 x10 y660, %RangeNote% Gui, Add, Text, x150 y660, S1 Stop if (data1 = Function7) { Winactivate, ahk_exe Studio One.exe Send, {NumpadMult} Sleep, 200 } if (data1 = Function8) { Winactivate, ahk_exe Studio One.exe Send, {SPACE} Sleep, 200 } Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) BB23-AHK-S1-Record.png (18.16 KB, 41 downloads) BB23-AHK-S1-Record-Only.png (7.17 KB, 38 downloads)
