Re: Midi switch or USB switch to punch in Pro Tools
A standard footswitch connected to my 003 is still working fine for me in 12.2.1
Some other Digidesign/Avid interfaces also have this functionality.
As for MIDI/USB switches, I can't think how you'd configure them to work, there's no setting in Pro Tools that I can think of.
You might be able to use a smartphone or tablet as an alternative.
In simplest form, you could use an app that emulates the numeric keypad on a full size computer keyboard, there's one available for Apple devices.
Or if you have an iPad, use either the free Avid ProControl app, or something like Neyrinck's V-Control Pro, both of which provide transport controls.
But if you want foot operation, then I think only the Digi/Avid devices with footswitch sockets will provide the functionality you are looking for.
