tdehan Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 How do I MAP commands like START/STOP in Cakewalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdehan Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have an AirTurn Bluetooth pedal that I would like to use to send Start/Stop commands to Cakewalk running on my Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I know this can be done but for the life of me cannot figure out how. Has anyone here done this and if so share how it is done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Map to what your keyboard ? Start/stop is the spacebar. I cant remember off hand if you can un-bind that shortcut but if you could it would be done in preferences. Using- Edit > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.

user 905133 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Chuck, in another post, @tdehan asked how to use an airturn bluetooth pedal to get Cakewalk to start/stop. I suspect this question here might be related, but not 100% sure. I am just guessing.

I replied prior (if you read it) that Start /Stop does NOT work from the spacebar for me. I assume there is some edit/preference I would need in order to achieve that with that spacebar. But as I clearly stated prior... the spacebar does not start or stop Cakewalk for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what is wrong and should be troubleshooted. Spacebar is windows standard for start/stop. Every daw in windows use this. I use it in Vlan when i watch videos. If something needs to start or stop it is spacebar you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like your asking for a way to accomplish it. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I clearly stated prior was that Start/Stop does not work from the space bar on my Surface. Right? Here is what was said: tdehan Members 2 22 posts Report post Posted May 29 tapping the space bar means I would have to tap the screen. However, with that said, should I be able to start play back from tapping the space bar? If so, it doesn't work. With that said, my question is about starting playback from a pedal...not by tapping the screen. If I am going to tap the screen I would simply reach up and press the PLAY button.

HIBI Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Just guessing because I don't have AirTurn QUAD... Maybe you have to change the mode to send space bar signal on the AirTurn QUAD. Mode 2 or 6, seems these modes have "Space". See: Page 8~10 of BT 106 Manual (Note: Direct link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user 905133 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) HUH?????? Two new threads about an issue raised in May in a totally different thread? I had no idea that the recent posts were evidently tied to one from May.

Scott R. Garrigus Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just so other users know... You can also use MIDI to control Cakewalk by choosing the option in Keyboard Shortcuts. And the AirTurn has a very detailed MIDI mode... https://www.airturn.com/support/midi/midi-mode-explained -- Scott R.
