How to use a specific MIDI controller to control instruments loudness?

Hi, I just started using Logic, so it's possible I will find the answer to this question by myself over time, but maybe somebody can point me to the answer right now...
I want to control the loudness (volume) of a software instruments over time, for a given note, using a MIDI controller channel. The note velocity only controls the loudness of the attack.
Of course this is not applicable for an instruments such as the piano, but it is quite important for string or wind instruments where you can attack a note very softly but keep playing louder on the same note.
The MIDI controller to control that could be after touch. In my case, it would be CC2 (breath control), as I use a wind controller.
My experiment so far is that Logic sees the value of CC2 correctly, but whatever its value, the loudness of the note sound never changes.
I understand that the answer to that question might depend on the instrument under consideration. Then an example would be of great help.
Many thanks.

As it was suggested you can try CC11 or you can transform your existing CC2 to CC11. Patch a transformer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input in Click & Ports Environment layer and make the next settings in the transformer:
Conditions
Status=Control
Data Byte 1 (= 2)
Operations
Data Byte 1 (Fix 11)
It this scenario your incoming CC2 will be transformed into CC11 and you can control the Expression (CC11) of a software instrument if it responds to that controller at all ( some software instruments must be mapped previously to have such respond ). Note you will be able to control only the selected track this way.
You can try to use the Controller Assignment dialog and learn CC2 to control the "level" parameter of an instrument or its channel strip level fader, gainer plugin (which can be inserted in the top plugin slot) etc as well.

    Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

    Hi,
    To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
    As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
    Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
    = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url​=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • How do you pick a specific midi controller to record in Logic?

    How do I define a specific midi controller to use? I have been working with one controller for years (Yamaha Motif). I'm a guitarist and I just picked up a new midi guitar controller (Axon 50). When I boot up Logic with the Axon 50 turned on, Logic doesn't see midi note on and note off data. I have to open up the Axon 50 editor for the note on/off datat to come thru. Is there a place in Logic where I can actually tell it which midi controller to receive from? In Cubase 4 you can specify which controller to receive from on each track in the inspector. Where is this feature in Logic?

    Logic will listen to all MIDI data coming in from all ports, with the exception that if you have defined a Logic-supported control surface o a particular port, that port data will be intercepted by the control surface handling, and not routed to the sequencer.
    You can isolate individual ports in the environment by changing the routing of the Physical Input environment object, so check there is no routing handling on your physical input object.

  • How to use orignal XBOX gamepad controller S under OSX ? (not xbox 360)

    Hi,
    i'd like to use my original xbox (not XBOX 360 !) controller on my MBA running under OSX 10.7.
    I tried to install Xbox HID Driver 1.3.4 for Mac OS X from http://xhd.sourceforge.net, but installation failed under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
    I'm getting an error message during installation.
    So, is it possible to use my old xbox controller with my mac ?
    Thanks !
    Here is the controller what I'm talking about : the "controller S"
    I bought a USB adapter for this controller :

    I am trying to do the exact same thing. Like you I failed to install that driver. Doesn't seem to be much else out there. Let me know if you have found anything. Think I will just have to step up and buy another controller.
    Sorry to be of no help..but you're not the only one to have this problem if that means anything

  • How to use customer-specific fields with FI-CA event 940?

    The following text can be found under FI-CA event 940:
    You can also set customer-specific fields if you have defined the predefined include for customer enhancements CI_FKK_ACCIT_CUS in the structure FKK_ACCIT_CUS. The fields included here must have the same field name as the fields included in the structure ACCIT. These can also originate from an enhancement of the coding block in General Ledger Accounting. The fields Reservation Class and Reservation Key of the reconciliation key and the totals record are available as import parameters.
    My requirement is to populate the field HZUON in this event, which will be called when running t-code FPG1 (Transfer of FI-CA total records to general ledger)
    The problem is the fact that the output of the event (i.e. output of function module FKK_SAMPLE_0940 at first) only have the following fields:
    E_ZUONR     LIKE     ACCIT-ZUONR     Zuordnung (BSEG-ZUONR)
    E_XREF2     LIKE     ACCIT-XREF2     Referenz  (BSEG-XREF2)
    E_SGTXT     LIKE     ACCIT-SGTXT     Positionstext
    E_BUPLA     LIKE     ACCIT-BUPLA     Businnes Place (Korea only)
    I tried adding a new field to structure CI_FKK_ACCIT_CUS and adding this field to the output of the event 940, but how do I ensure that the content of the field will be used to populate the HZUON field of the FI document during "transfer of FI-CA total records to general ledger"?
    Cheers,
    Teo

    Hi Teo,
    I happened to see this post from you when I searched for a similar scenario related to event 940. I also need to add two fields in CI_FKK_ACCIT_CUS and make these fields as outputof the event. Did you come across any solution for the same? If so, can you please share.

  • Using the BCF2000 midi controller in FCP5

    I have succesfully assigned the controller to work in soundtrack but am unable to make it work in FCP. Does anyone know how to asssign the faders to the audio mixer or should it as in soundtrack just recognise the mdi device.

    Hi,
    Just done this myself,
    first goto the tools menu and select control surfaces and hit + and select the control surface.
    then you must have to have the audio mixer open to use the control surface.
    FCP assigns the channels itself.
    Best of luck,

  • How to use a specific windows software on Mac

    Hi all,
    I have (and love) a new Macbook Air, having switched from years of PC use.
    Ran into a hiccup as I do a few hours of teaching a week though a company called Talkbean (http://tutor.talkbean.com/displayEng.do?cmd=siteMain) and they have specific software I have downloaded....which I now find it only compatible with windows.
    I've read through other topics and see that using boot camp (and other programs) I could also run windows on my MBA....but I'd prefer not to do that if I can avoidit - I don't need anything else other than this piece of software a few hours a week.  Also don't fancy purchasing windows after just forking out for a new laptop!
    The likes of Crossover and Virtual box look more appealing, but seem to be aimed at gaming (maybe I'm wrong!) and unsurprisingly the software I need is not on their lists.  I'm struggling to figure it out myself. Would one of these programs be suitable for using this piece of software? 
    Any help at all sooo much appreciated!

    CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
    Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
    I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use.

  • [ReWire] How to use Logic's MIDI channels only

    Sorry for the rather vague subject title, but I can't come up with a better one.
    Let me explain the situation:
    I'm working on a project with several audio and MIDI tracks and also two ReWired Reason4 instruments, all routed to their corresponding Reason device. (the MIDI information is coming out of Logic and being routed to Reason and the audio is then routed back into Logic)
    My problem is with Logic's own MIDI channels. When I record enable one of these (Logic) channels and I play my MIDI keyboard, Reason also responds to that and plays one of the instruments.
    So I hear the Logic instrument as well as the Reason instrument. To put it in the easiest way possible, I don't want that.
    Is there a way to make Logic stop sending out MIDI information to it's ReWire slave, when a non-rewire channel is record enabled?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hmm that makes perfectly sense... that I haven't thought of that myself
    I will try tonight. Thanks!

  • How Can I separate my MIDI Channels with layered instruments in MainStage 2 With my Axiom 61?

    I have been at it for 3 days straight. I want to play an internal instrument (EVB3 for example) and trigger samples with the EXS24 without triggering notes from the other instrument. I have my keyboard set to MIy help meDI channel 1 and my drum pads set to MIDI channel 10. The still play together. I've tried changing MIDI input on both channel strips to multitimbral, Channel 1 for the keyboard and channel 10 for the drum pads. Still playing together. I've tried changing attributes in the Mapping screen. Still...
    I don't think its the Axiom. I've tried changing MIDI CC numbers but then it won't talk to either instrument. I'm currently using MIDI cables into a 3rd generation M-Box. I've tried using USB as well. Please, somebody help me!!

    Sorry for the late responce, I've been in program mode and haven't had a chance to come back to this.
    I figured it out. It was an option that I had over looked in the Assignments & Mapping tab in Edit Mode. At the bottom of the window that says All Devices. In that menu there is another tab that says Channel 1-16. If you click where it says Unassigned, down in the Screen Control Inspector there is a checked box that says "Send unassigned MIDI to all Channel Strips". If you uncheck that box then everything works perfectly. It is a little extra work having to assign the keyboard everytime you ad a channel strip but when you have to do some serious programming it's worth it.
    Anyone who needs to program with multiple devices should uncheck this right out of the gate. It will save you from pulling your hair out.
    Thank you Bruno for your help. It is much appreciated.

  • How to use 2 date field as delta control in generic extractor.

    Hi colleagues:
    I have developed a generic extractor to extract logistic data: Purchase Orders and Invoice. In order to do that, I have defined a view joining EKBE, EKKO, EKPO, EKET tables on R/3. By this approach, the delta mechanism is supposed to be controlled by the EKBE-BUDAT field and also by the EKPO-AEDAT field. Both fields are available on the view used to create the Datasource. However, the Datasource creation allows us to define just one field as delta control.
    I have a few questions regarding to this scenario:
    <b>1 - Is it possible to define 2 fields as delta control field on Generic Datasource?</b>
    <b>2 - How about creating two similar Datasouces, one having AEDAT as delta control, the other having BUDAT as delta control, and then connect those Datasources to an unique Infosource on the bw side?</b>
    Best regards
    Waldemar

    hi,
    1 - as far as I know it is not possible to define 2 fields
    2 - this workaround is used often in cases like yours.
    Just remember about order of extracting: first you extract new documents then changed
    Regards,
    Andrzej
