Oh, I didn’t think it would require all that but I’m not the expert…lol. I just thought if the timer, and the record and/or the automation button were triggered by the same action, be it song selection or a remote foot switch or whatever they’d be sync’s close enough. But as I think of it there are likely users running more complicated setups that may require more precision than this solution would offer. I figured, if it’s just the timer it’s just a guide to let you know where you are. Having explained my ignorance, I’m sure to no one’s interest, your solution is equally good to remedy my needs.
