#591714 - 04/13/20 02:50 PM [PowerTracks Pro Audio] Expression Pedal Topic
Registered: 12/01/06 Posts: 535 Loc: Wisconsin Bernier Journeyman Registered: 12/01/06 Posts: 535 Loc: Wisconsin	I think I have posted this before but cannot find the thread. I have an FBV Express MKII expression pedal. It has a wah pedal and four programmable switches. from my understanding and past research, the switches can only be programmed with midi commands. I would love to be able to use one of the switches to turn on/off the recording function in PT 2019. It is such a pain to have to use the mouse to press the record icon or press the r key and then get back to my guitar neck. Any suggestions highly appreciated! Bernie

Ideally you would be looking to have RB sync to another sequencer clock you could use to control Play/Record as well as know where you are in a song. If there is a standard MIDI message that can trigger recording of audio (send computer keyboard messages) that this pedal could use, I don't know about it. /Wouldn't surprise me if forum member Pipeline knew of something though. <grin> 1. Can you give yourself enough lead in when you hit record that you can comfortably get ready? 2. Do you have a spare keyboard that you can rip all of the keys off except the R and the spacebar? A few of us have gone to the extreme of using such a Frankenstein solution as a foot pedal. Makes Start/Stop/Record pretty easy. 3. Would a wireless keyboard help? If it could sit somewhere more convenient and you just reach over and tap 'r' just trying to help _________________________ Make your sound your own!

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
