Assign MIDI Keyboard Pedal to control Record?

Question

I can't seem to get it to work, I used MIDI learn but it didn't assign the Pedal, a simple 0-127 cc64 VFP 1/25, to control the transport record button. Could the problem be that the box the pedal came in mentions most makes of keyboards but not my M-Audio 49e?

Answer 1

I see. the pedal must send CC64 to Logic to be able to control the software instruments sustain ect.
One of the reasons that the CC64 can be "blocked" is if there are any previous Controller Assignments or Keycommand assignments of that message i.e CC64. In this scenario the Logic Physical Input blocks the original message. There is a little trick to split that message using IAC but for now you must be sure where is the problem. Try to trash (and make a backup) the Logic Preferences file which will reset/delete all previous assignments. Open Logic and operate the pedal just to see if there is any CC64 shown in the Transport midi monitor or in the Input View monitor in Click & Ports environment layer. If that works then you can try to learn a keycommand again.
Those asignment numbers mean little to me, they are"F0 7E 7F 06 02 00 20 08 4D 14 10 01 20 31 32 32 F7:learned
