Is #7649 related?

Hi, it is related indeed, but my request seems to be more easy to add. The assign controller fuctionality is allready built in for a lot of functions, so this might can be added to these three functions aswell.

Yes, I agree it's slightly different. The MCU part does not directly connect to buttons but to functionalities that may not have 1:1 mapping with buttons.
@Sanderr303 , for reference, do you have an example of another midi control that works similarly to what you want ?
I had a look at the related code previously, and MidiController seems to correspond more to knobs/faders and does seem too adapted for binary buttons (especially if you want an event to happen when you press and nothing when you release), but I'm not too familiar with the code/software.

@altrouge Hi, what do works is assiging a knob to a mute button. So one click on, and again off

But if I try to assign a knob to a fuction which can have a value instead of on/off it does not work. For example with the range an channel option as on the following screen shot.

So I think, if you would configure the start/stop/record as the mute assign configuration it might just work.
