You are right, the answer is in front of you - in every Logic version which supports Key Commands :) Just plug any switch-pedal into any MIDI device which supports a pedal (your keyboard?) then open Key Commands, search for the command you want to control remotely. Enable the MIDI learn button, step on the pedal (hold the foot down!) and disable the learn button That's it. > I use logic > quite a bit to record acoustic guitar/vocals and find it terribly > inefficient to hit record, then > move back and rush to get my self set up to play.

You might think about a footcontroller, if you have other uses for such a device also. Then you can execute all transport commands right from where you are sitting. ___ Peter Ostry
