Default Sony cell phone as PT wireless remote control

there was another thread about this, but i decided to start a new one so it doesn't get lost.

i found a way to make my sony T616 control PT remotely and wirelessly. i created some instructions here: http://dj3plet.dynu.com/tips/PcControl.htm

the commands i used in my xml file are things i think are useful. maybe you'll agree. there are still several unused keys. i can change it if someone thinks of some other useful remote-type commands. the only thing is that the commands MUST be on the alpha keyboard (can not be on the numeric keypad).

<KEY_1> - Play (Spacebar)
<KEY_2> - Record (Crtl+Spacebar)
<KEY_3> - Stop record and delete take (Esc)
<KEY_4> - Locate play/edit cursor to previous region-boundary/sync point (Ctrl+Tab)
<KEY_5> - Locate play/edit cursor to next region-boundary/sync point (Tab)
<KEY_6> - Return to start of session (Enter)
<KEY_7> - Quick Punch (Ctrl+Shift+P)
<KEY_8> - Toggle Enable/Disable Pre/Post Roll

anyway, i hope someone can make use of this. i think it would be useful if you have a separate control room, but you're recording yourself; or if you just need to be away from the computer a few feet but still need to control PT without jumping out of your chair every 30 seconds. Enjoy!

That's amazing...So you can use your cellphone to control PT across the room, through walls...that's great, DaB. Thanks for the info.

Oooooh...Way cool ! I just got a T630...and I could definitely use the remote.
What bluetooth device are you using for the computer and how much did it cost ?
Thanks,
Paul

And a very happy new year.

i'm using a generic dongle i found on pricewatch.com. i paid about $30 for it a year ago. they've gone down in price. look on pricewatch (or whatever the european equivilant is). just get the cheapest one. i wouldn't spend more than $25 on one today. this is now matured, cheap, reliable(?) technology. don't buy a name brand, just buy from a reputable dealer.

i just uploaded a new and improved keymap, so you might want to replace the one you downloaded with the current version (if you already downloaded it)...
