Creating a ToggleRecord function using LongPress

[DanielAkerberg]

Hi,

I want to be able to press a midi button and record would start as soon as the button is pressed but when I release the button the record should stop. In essence a “Record Toggle” function. If someone could show me an example of a macro that would make this possible I would be very grateful! I guess I should somehow use the WaitUserAction function together with LongPress…

PS. @Philippe I know you sent me an example with the above a few years ago but when I tried it now I didn’t get it to work…

Hi Daniel,
In the list of example macros supplied with Logelloop, you’ll find a macro called “Push to record”.
This macro does what you ask and is actually based on “WaitUserAction”, but with the argument “Relese”.

The text of the macro is this :

//************************************** begin *************************
// Will set the main looper to record
Record

// wait the midi, mouse or key to be released
WaitUserAction Release

// Stop recording
Record
//*************************************** end **************************

Best,
Philippe
