Sustain pedal MIDI trigger

[iskra]

Hey everybody... I've had some difficulty setting my sustain pedal to trigger (via MIDI) recording on sustain pedal trigger. This should be easy (and I'm sure it is) but I'm stuck... what I really want to do however, is set it up so that recording will begin from sustain pedal down and stop recording on pedal up. Is there any way I get this behavior?

Also, this isn't much of a sooperlooper question, but has anybody gotten their USB gamepad connected to SooperLooper as midi controller on linux?

Thanks much,
Tyler

The real question is what midi events are being sent for the sustain pedal. If you can use a midi monitor app to find out, I can tell you whether it should work or not...
