Default Control tempo with footswitch

Hi there,

I am just asking to see if I can control the tempo of a Pro Tools 12.6.0 session with a midi footswitch, and if so, how can it be done.

I am running a DMXIS lighting rig hosted in Pro Tools (via Black Cat's Patchwork) for a live performance. DMXIS standalone has a footswitch so you can tempo tap while playing. However, the tempo in DMXIS VST is fed by the host DAW.

Without having to restrict out performance and play to a click track, is there a way I can control/tap the tempo within Pro Tools with an external footswitch in a live situation?

Thank you in advance and apologies if I have missed any info.

Mark

Default Re: Control tempo with footswitch

Can't be done with a footswitch. You CAN set tempo via midi, so you might have success with a midi controller or midi bass pedals
