I don’t have one, so can’t say, but if it just uses standard stuff as control surface, then yes, you should be able to do this with Reaper out of focus. If it emulates a keyboard, such as the footswitch input on my MOTU Audio Express, then not so much.<div class="">The MOTU footswitch service literally just sends a key to whatever is in focus. So, I have punch=in and punch-out set up to work in Reaper, but anywhere else, it just types “r” on pedal up and down, and is, therefore, not so useful.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Feb 14, 2015, at 2:08 PM, Jim Noseworthy via RWP <<a href="mailto:rwp@bluegrasspals.com" class="">rwp@bluegrasspals.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Ok Folks:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Is it possible to operate the transport functions in Reaper when the program is not in focus.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Here’s the deal: I would like to have an editor opened and, using a footswitch with the Tranzport, be able to play/pause audio for transcription.
