Using a Footswitch
The footswitch connector on Mbox Pro lets you
use a footswitch pedal to control either playback
start/stop or recording punch in/out. Both Quick-
Punch audio punch-in and punch-out and MIDI
punch-in and punch-out recording are supported.
The footswitch connector is designed specifically
for instantaneous (momentary) on/off pedals with
a 1/4-inch TS connector. Continuous on/continu-
ous off pedals can also be used, but may result in
unexpected behavior.
To use a footswitch control:
1 Connect a footswitch to the footswitch connec-
tor on the back panel of the Mbox Pro.
2 Launch Pro Tools.
3 Choose Setup > Hardware.
4 Select Record Punch In/Out or Playback
