[Solved] How can I assign music keyboard keys to operate transport?

[Keni]

Anyone familiar with this?

 

I believe I did this long ago for someone, but senior memory is in operation.

 

I'm thinking it uses control surfaces? Maybe the mackie control?

 

I've never used ACT so I really don't know how to use it.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

 

Edit:

Interesting. I think I can do this with a keyboard shortcut but will have to switch back for alpha key shortcuts?

 

Edit2:

 

I'm missing something. I can't seem to get this working either way. Anyone?

 

Edit 3:

 

Ahhh! Success!

 

Using Cakewalk Generic Controller in Control Surfaces.

Editing it's settings:

Selected the function

Selected note option

Hit the key I wished to use

clicked learn

Repeated the above for each command

 

!

You can do it in Keyboard Shortcut preferences:

Of course you can use ACT as well, but this may be easier to set up.
