Can this be used to hit record and stop within Ableton? If not, any suggestions on what kind of remote foot switch would?

Yes it can, but I also noticed that it triggers the C3 key sometimes, unless you isolate the UMI3 to it's own MIDI channel.

Hitting Record in FL Studio was my reason for purchasing this MIDI controller..... I NEVER figured out how to accomplish that task, and I soon after gave up the search to do so.Since that time the controller has been sitting in a drawer.

it can. i use two of them with ableton and they work great. the software that comes with the pedals (download) is rudimentary but allows you to store note values, CC's, program changes...etc., to the pedals internal memory. for instance mine are Channel 1, CC 102, 103, 104 (pedal 1) CC 105 106 107 (pedal 2). these #'s travel with the pedals so no matter the software I'm using, Ableton, Garageband, MainStage, Amplitube....the pedal #'s stay the same.

No. I had one before I went to a DP-32 and I used a generic single click footswitch (I used a cheap Yamaha) to punch in or turn on/off recording. The RC-3F is a 3 way switch and is programmable on the DP-32, it also needs batteries. I advise you to look into a simple on/off switch, for instance like one made for a keyboard...

No to the first answer. I never tried triggering via USB but I doubt that unless you maybe find some other software that can do that.

It's just a midi pad and knob unit. If you use it with software like Ableton Live, it can trigger samples.Akai makes another model like this that is a standalone sampler, but it costs more.

As far as I know, most midi controllers are very customizeable from within Ableton. You can bind each knob to the macro knobs within Ableton. I'm not sure how easy switching it up is though.

Yes,but not a loop type.You record,hit stop,then hold down this ( < ) and then to continue hit record to continue. Good luck!

Yes. it will work as a midi controller just fine. I know that novation product work really well with ableton but will work fine with logic, pro tools etc.

Yes, you can use this to trigger anything that receives a USB Midi signal. Literally anything that is a Midi Mappable trigger or on/off setup. So if you wanted to you could set each switch to a different 808 Drum, 1 for Kick, 2nd for clap, and 3rd for hi-hat... If you so desire.

You need a piece of software to translate the A, B, C into other key combos, or macros. I use Controller Mate (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) for this purpose, and it works great, which is more then I can say for the foot pedal itself. I assume there are other solutions.I've never attempted to use the software provided (never even installed it) because I already had Controller Mate in use for other automation tasks.

It has Midi, I seems like it would. I haven't used it with midi yet, but if you have some time of midi connection or rack, you can probably use it to control reason. I use Ableton tho.

This a Midi controller. This is designed specifically for computer use and will only work when connected to a DAW. I currently use FL Studio with it right now. It is great but my only problem is when I plug it in and activate it with my DAW the pads are not correspondent with the pad on the computer. I have to resync it everytime I open up the plugin. Other than that particular problem the AKAI MPD18 is fine. You have to record the sounds live by using the recorder while the metronome is playing usually, unless you're just that good that you can consistently crank out the exact same bpm every time

I have used an older model, but this is a USB midi controller that works best with Ableton (and can be used with FL Studio among others) software for music production as well as DJing. Within Ableton, you can control clips, or the part of the song you want to play, volume, sends, and returns. Other modes allow playing armed instruments with up to 72 pads or using effects that can spread on up to 72 pads.It is a USB, LED-backlit item used with music but you can decide its purpose depending on the software you prefer.

It can only be used to trigger sounds in your DAW. It is used as a MIDI input device much like, say, a MIDI keyboard.

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

As far as I know this is only a midi trigger unit. I have this between my drum triggers and Logic Pro. So it triggers whatever sample kit I have set up there. It's a great unit tho - really tough :)

For transcription I use the program: "For The Record". I installed the Phillips foot pedal cd, and the pedal would not active with the FTR program. In program provided in the CD the pedal work, but its not consistent with my needs. I would not recommend, because I never before install the cd in other foot pedals and the foot pedals always work

The X32 can be used in remote mode as a Mackie Universal or HUI control for your DAW. In the case of Pro Tools, you can use the HUI mode. When in remote mode, the 8 bus faders and their associated scribble strips, meters, and mute, solo, select buttons will work. You can also assign remote commands to the ASSIGN controls on the right of the control surface, which is handy for setting up a transport section with a jog wheel.
