Hi folks,
If this seems like a stupid question, it's because I'm very new at this.
Is there a way to control the jack transport system start/stop with a
hardware controller or footpedal? I want to control jack, thereby
controlling other jack aware applications which do not have
implementations of start/stop via midi.
USB keyboards are cheap (I'm talking about the qwerty kind). Inside is a
tiny circuit board and lots of switches. Figure out the lines that go to
the space, left arrow, right arrow (or whatever you think would be
useful). Most programs will deal with key strokes. If you want it to be
separate from your desktop KB there are ways of doing that probably in X
or use a raspberry pi and run netjack and jack_transport or
jack.transport... Or no jack at all on the pi and just have it ssh into
your computer and run jack_transport.
BTW, for extra points add some rotary encoders and SW and make a mixer
controller.
