I been using this for a few months now and its a great program with good support. And just tonight I figured out how to use the tonelab expression pedal to get the program to start recording, so I'm rapped.

Wed, 2008/07/30 - 2:07am — nzdutchieI enabled the tonelab as a control only device in "midi devices". I'd put marker 1 where I wanted to record, then made a macro
Markers: go to marker 1
Record: Set record mode to normal
Transport: record
I'm usually recording 4 to 16 bars at a time so things just loop until I'm finished.
Then in the latest version of reaper 2.42 I assigned "R" for a keyboard shortcut and also expression pedal 2 on the tonelab. It means I can't use the pedal for anything else but thats OK with me.

Open Reaper
Click Actions menu, show actions list
Click New Custom actions
Custom action name "record at marker1"
Find and drag the following commands in the right hand side in this order
Record: Set record mode to normal
Markers: Go to marker 1
Transport: Record
When done click ok
Back at where all the commands are you will see "Custom: record at marker1" Highlight it
At the "shortcut for selected action click Add
I have "R' as a keyboard option and for the tonelab click add again then press the expression on the tonelab. It should come up with a midi cc channel.
Enabling the tonelab as a midi control device is required first. How to do this is through Options/ Preferences/ Midi Devices. I think my tonelab shows up as a USB audio device in the midi inputs part. Right click the device and set to control only. Disable in the midi output part. Good luck
