Billy, we need to know what keyboard you have.

I have M-Audio's Oxygen 61 and it has software that can control Studio One Pro. That includes a start to record button.

{edit} It can control other DAWs as well.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Mario

Technics SXPR603. This keyboard is pretty old. There are a lot of midi functions but... I looked through the manual and did not find anything. There is a sync start button on the keyboard that starts the internal recorder.

That model is 19years old. I do not believe any keyboard from that era could control a DAW. I believe the control your DAW feature is only a couple of years old.

I did it the other way
I had an old W30 that could start/stop with RB, I am sure it would be more than 19 years old now (if it lived; it ran on floppies!) .. and it would follow a position pointer so the SEQ knew 'where' to start and sync up.

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.

This will allow you to start record in Studio One with your very old keyboard smile

you would just need to set it to studio one rather than Biab, this is easily done.
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)

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.

try this one:
AHK_Midi2Keypress-S1.zip
EDIT: for S1 only 2 functions Record Stop
AHK_Midi2Keypress-S1-Only.zip

When it first runs it will ask for the midi device, this may come up behind the main GUI window.
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		
		}

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
