  • Is it possible to UNDO using an external controller button?

I'm using an M-AUDIO keyboard and I easily added/configured it as Generic Cakewealk Surface.
Now I'm trying the 3 recording modes Comping, Overwrite, Sound On Sound but to be honest none of them works well for me.
 
I find myself doing some recording, then switch to keyboard only to press CTRL+Z to UNDO things and avoid messing up the track with wrong takes/segments.
 
It would be very useful to bind a controller button to the program UNDO function.
 
Is it possible?

With Generic Surface - no. With ACT MIDI Controller or AZ Controller - yes.

Thank you very much!
 
BTW I also found that I can use a keyboard key (which becomes mute) as a "SHIFT" and use it in combination with another key to UNDO the last action (and this is an easier approach).
 
And I can also move the "now marker" on the next/previous bar ... so I think I can "follow my workflow" without touching the keyboard even with my M-Audio that has only a few transport buttons !

It must be because my VS=700 console has buttons for delete, undo, save, etc.

You are right, I forgot the simplest option. I probably spend too much with complicated controller solutions
