Start an action on a specific time

Hi,
I am new to MT (OSX-beta) an I want to start a Logic-recording on a specific time/date.
So my question is, if MT can give out a keystroke (like "R" for recording) on a specific time/date or shall I try writing an applescript for this task ?

Hi Sepp,

unfortunatley we have no trigger like this in MT. We are not very familiar with applescript. Can you simulate a MIDI Message on a specifix time with applescript to trigger an outgoing action in MT?

Hi Ruedi,
I am not an expert in Applescript..

Further web-search give me different routes, which I have to explore
- iCal will trigger an applesript
- Cronnix (a frontend for cron) trigger an applescript.

The applescript has to do a keystroke "R" for start Logic to record.

Hi Sepp,

I have extracted some code of Midi Translator to trigger a midi message via the Virtual Midi Devices in Midi Translator. So the setup is:

1. Start Midi Translator
2. Select MidiIn = Bome's Midi Translator 1
3. Create a trigger Incoming: Midi Message 80 80 80, Outgoing Keystroke R
4. Install and Open Cronnix and define a new job with the little program I have created.

I have made a screenshot and a build which I can send you via email.

Please contact us via: http://www.bome.com/contact.php with the Subject CRONJOB and I will send you the stuff.

Regards,
Rüdi
