RC5 - Stop / Overdub via Midi

Anybody found a way to stop a track or overdub via Midi?

Stop is easy but you need to assign 2x actions every stomping (one for press one for release)

For example this is the settings I have for Play/Stop function:

  • Msg1: Action: Press, Type: Control Change, CC Number: 82, CC Value: 127, MIDI Channel: 1
  • Msg2: Action: Release, Type: Control Change, CC Number: 82, CC Value: 0, MIDI Channel: 1

Sadly I haven’t found a way to overdub as there is no available DUB command in CONTROL setup in order to assign it to a CC :frowning:

Just bumping to see if anyone’s solved overdub yet? I’m stumped.

I’m late to the party but I got so fed up with the RC-5 not being able to overdub via MIDI that I developed an open source modification to fix the issue:
Youtube:

Github:

Technically this can add midi control to any guitar pedal button that is actuated by being shorted to ground, as is the case in the RC-5.
Since the RC-5 already responds to Midi CC#s 80-87, I made it so that 88-90 will trigger whatever function you’ve assigned to the main stomp switch, and/or the switches that can be plugged into the auxiliary button port.
