Controlling DP transport from Arturia Keylab88?

Post by corona84 »

Hello to everyone

I've been trying to solve this for a number of hours, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I have been going through the tutorials in the Getting Started guide.

In a nutshell, I'm trying to use my Arturia MIDI controller's transport controls (play/stop/record/etc.) to control DP's transport controls. This is apparently possible. I configured the controller to send MMC from the controls (according to mappings I found online) even though I´m not sure if I did it well, and in DP's MIDI Monitor window I can see that DP is getting MIDI messages of type 'CO'.

Has anyone has had success doing something like this?

I will appreciate your help very much

When I set up the Keylab 61 to control DP's transport, I noticed the Keylab buttons, at least some of them, transmit one MIDI message when they are pressed, and another when released. I could see this happening using the MIDI Monitor app. In some cases, releasing the key cancelled the effect of pressing it.
