Default Remote recording?

I shall be recording myself playing piano. Is there a method where I could have retakes using my bluetooth pedal? This is a pedal which I normally use a pdf page turner.

It might be possible, how does the pedal work? I'm not familiar with this type of device.
If it transmits some sort of MIDI message it would be pretty simple to assign it to the record function, or if it works by replicating a keypress that could also be do-able, but you might have to re-assign some existing shortcuts.

Which pedal do you have? If only two pedal macros at a time you can definitely do retakes, but it depends what the workflow is if it's enough. For solo piano it's easy, just assign the two macros you want, which depends on how you want the project cursor to respond during recording (Return to top after stopping? Stay where stopped?). Simplest might be record and stop/start. Most bluetooth page turners allow you to change assigned macro, and Reaper enables you to take a macro and create an action with several stacked up.

Are you limited to two macros at a time with the pedal you have? It would be tough to move the cursor to more than one set location if so. But you can also use a tablet for everything except start/stop and going in and out of record, which the pedal would do.

Is it solo piano?

This is the bluetooth pedal set I have:

I would like Reaper to make multiple takes of the two mic inputs. After each take I want the next take to start at the time line beginning.

After a few takes I would review them to decide which one to keep.

I just want to avoid frequent turning to my laptop for more takes.
