Cockos Incorporated Forums - View Single Post - Controlling transport actions with a midi controller

I have recently started using Reaper after decades of using other DAW's, most recently Propellerhead Reason.

I was surprised to find that Reaper did not acknowledge the transport buttons on my new M-Audio Oxygen 61 keyboard. No biggie I thought, I get that I can assign keystrokes and midi controllers to actions.

But when I assign, for example, the 'Loop' button on the Oxygen 61's transport to the 'Repeat' action the Repeat parameter only stays on while I hold down the loop button on the controller. Obviously this is not what I want and I am wondering if someone can guide me towards getting the Repeat state to toggle each time I press the button instead of returning to the off state when I release the button.

...or... am I missing something altogether and should the Oxygen 61's transport buttons just automatically work with Reaper out of the box?

Thanks in advance!
