Controlling Reaper Play/Start/Record/Rewind with hardware
The discussions in this forum appear very complex so I ask a very simple question.
I want to use an external hardware with a few buttons for play, stop, record, rewind and so on (a jog wheel would be great too!) to control reaper without using a mouse. Using the keyboard appears to be difficult as soon as you have a plugin open as they are using the keyboard as well.
I tried to setup my Arturia hardware controller for that but MPC support is quite limited (could not manage rewind to start, etc.). Also I tried to avoid automation features because it seems to be a complex topic.
So my basic questions:
1. Is there any hardware available to do this? i.e. with a big jogwheel to move the song back and forth by dialing.
2. What do I need to do to implement this in Reaper? (i.e. will I have to dive into the automation topic or is this preconfigured)
