Remote Start/Stop of WING & WING RACK Recording via MIDI/OSC

Description:
Currently, the WING and WING RACK offer powerful remote control via MIDI, OSC, and MCU protocols, but there is no way to trigger the onboard SD/USB recorder remotely.

My use case:
I use my WING RACK as an in-ear monitoring solution during band rehearsals. Playback tracks from my DAW are already triggered remotely via MIDI. For quality control and review of our progress, I’d like to record only the actual songs we rehearse — not hours of idle time or chatter.

Right now, my only option is to either:

• Record the entire rehearsal and later sift through the file, adding markers and cutting manually, which is very time-consuming.

• Walk over to the WING RACK and manually press record, which defeats the purpose of my otherwise fully remote setup.

The solution:
Add commands to start/stop (and optionally pause/resume) the WING recorder via:

• MIDI CC / SysEx

• Mackie Control transport

• OSC commands

These should be available over both USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI, and OSC over network, so they can be mapped to DAW actions, foot controllers, or custom devices.
Feedback messages (record status, elapsed time) would make it even more powerful for integration with custom displays.

Benefits:

• No extra editing workload after rehearsals or gigs — only capture what matters.

• Hands-free control from the same device that starts click and playback tracks.

• Streamlined workflow for rehearsals, gigs, streaming, and content capture.

• Consistency — same trigger for DAW playback and WING recording means no human error.

Why This Matters:
This feature would turn the WING’s recorder into a seamless part of modern rehearsal and live workflows, removing unnecessary manual steps and editing time.
