I would like to ask if anyone has been able to map a CC message on to buttons C or D? I'd like to send a MIDI message simultaneously when I select a new Preset. As I have a Preset assigned to each track (with the foot switches controlling plug-ins), I'd like to Record Arm that track as soon as I select the corresponding preset on the Pacer. I've tried the instructions below, which certainly seem like they should do the job, but it doesn't appear that any MIDI message is being sent. Agreed that there is a lot this pedal seems like it can do, but Nektar could do a bit more to help us unlock it. https://nektartech.com/creating-and-customizing-presets-for-pacer/ Sending MIDI Messages, When Loading a Preset When you load a preset, Pacer can be configured to send 16 MIDI messages. Relays can also be opened and closed this way. This is useful when you want a preset on Pacer to correspond to a preset on a device or in a performance application like MainStage. You can have a program change message transmitted when you elect the preset, so that the target device/application changes presets at the same time. You can then have preset that you loaded on Pacer, setup to control parameters specific to the preset that was loaded on the target device/application. Setting up MIDI Configurations for presets works in a similar manner to renaming a preset. You make changes in the ‘M CFG’ menu, then save those changes to a preset. Press and hold the [Preset] Stomp Switch, then load any of Pacer’s presets. Turn the Data Encoder to select ‘SAVE’, then press the Encoder Button. Turn the Data Encoder to select ‘M CFG’, then press the Encoder Button. The 3-character display will say ‘1’ to indicate that the first MIDI Config slot is selected. Turn the Data Encoder to select a MIDI Config slot, then press the Encoder Button. The 5-character display will say ‘Type’. Press the Encoder Button and the 3-character display will show the name of the current assignment type. Turn the data encoder to scroll through the different functions for the MIDI Config. You will find a table of the assignment types in the user guide. Press the Encoder Button to select a assignment type. Press Stomp Switch [C] to navigate the different configuration options for the selected assignment type. Press the Encoder Button to accept the change or press [Preset] to cancel the change. Press [Preset] button to exit the ‘M CFG’ menu. The 5-character display should now say ‘STORE’. Press the Encoder button Turn the Data Encoder to select the Preset, to which you would like to save, then press the Encoder button or press [Preset] to cancel the save operation. Press the [Preset] Stomp Switch to exit the Save menu.

In response to the original post, I take you through the steps of MIDI assignments for the pedal and mapping on my webpage, which has links to the YouTube tutorial as well: https://www.brandonxshaw.com/sound/ableton-pacer/ . I use MidiStroke as a workaround for some features that are missing (e.g., Undo). (Note, I get further in my description than I did on the video tutorial.) I've been wrestling with this in Ableton, which is even less integrated than Logic. Unfortunately https://francoisgeorgy.github.io/ isn't really working for me (though I tried it with Chrome), so I did manual assignment on everything.
