02R96 and other Yamaha control surfaces - break Learn Assignment?

Can someone throw some light on this:
The 02R96 and other Yamaha control surfaces send out this Active Sensing thing, which is just a real, downright nuisance for all kinds of reasons.
1) How am I supposed to get plug-in parameter assignments automatically learnt if the 02R96's active sensing keeps jumping in every second? Logic thinks that's the MIDI message I want to assign to my parameter! There doesn't seem to be a way of telling the learn process to ignore what's going on on a certain MIDI port. Result: can't automate my plug-ins. There seems to be no way of doing it.
2) Another thing about active sensing - you can't get Logic to just shaddup about it if the control surface isn't on. What if I want to keep my 02R96 turned off for some reason? There should be a Disable control surface button or something - anything to prevent having to remove the 02R96 setup entirely from the Logic session! Really not good...any thoughts or insights? (especially on the parameter learning stuff..that's a real show stopper)

The Mackie Control support lets you edit all parameters of instuments and effects plugins. If you don't have a Mackie Control, you can also use John Pitcairn's LCXmu, which acts as a virtual Logic Control translator between your controller and Logic.
I have a Korg microKontrol running with LCXmu, and it's excellent, way better than Logic'a native mK support, and you can access all instrument & plugin parameters, with the names coming up on the mK screens etc.
Have a look at LCXmu at OpusLocus and see whether your hardware is a directly supported device. Even if it isn't, you can still use it, you just have to set up some manual mapping stuff, depending on what buttons etc you have on your controller.
Otherwise, you are back to manually assigning parameters using Logic's controller assignments - but they are buggy.
I have to say that LCXmu has completely solved all controller issues I had using the micoKontrol as a little portable controller. It's ace.

  • Im looking for the cheapest and smallest transport control surface to use with logic 9(and X when i upgrade my lappy). usb.

    Ive seen the presonus faderport but there looks to be lots of problems? is this still the case or has it been fixed?
    Or have you any info on godens...if there even is?
    cheers.x

    If I could make a suggestion. I too have the Axiom49 and love it. I would not get rid of it. But for control of Logic, I use the Presonus FaderPort. It works flawlessly. Plug it into a USB port, add the Mackie HUI controller in the preferences, set the input and output (of that control surface) to the FaderPort, and your done. Motorized fader, limitless pan knob, etc. You may want to look into this little gem. It will be less expensive than a new MIDI controller, that's for sure.

  • Info please...control surface and mixer for fcp and audio recording

    i'm looking for a control surface for final cut pro and also xlr/line inputs for recording guitar and vocals in cubase or audacity.
    read all the info here after numerous searches. still some questions.
    was looking at the tascam 1082 but not sure of the build quality...i saw one and it looked a bit cheaply built. the two demos at guitar center were falling apart. didn't look nearly as well built as the mackie. also i have been reading here and elsewhere about bugs/problems etc.
    was looking at the m-audio...not sure about that one...$1250...
    was also looking at mackie control surface...but no firewire...how do you hook it up to a mac? also no audio inputs. what would i need to buy to work in conjunction with that for recording audio? if i bought the mackie, i'd still have to buy an audio inpur device and that would end up costing as much as the m audio.
    i know i could just buy a mixer for recording and forget the control surface...i already have a shuttle pro which works fine and i have gotten used to using the mixer in fcp...no problems. but the motorized faders on a control surface sure would be nice
    so questions:
    how does the mackie connect to a mac and what other device(s) would i need to record audio and how would they hook up...would they play nice together?
    ppl who own the tascam...happy with it? used the mic and line preamps? are they noisy?
    do i need an additional firewire bus reguardless of which control surface i get?
    how does one route the audio for these when in fcp? i currently route my audio through my dsr 11 deck. will the control surface just go through firewire or would i have to actually jack into the control surface with additional cables and have to remove my present cables from my speakers everytime i want to use the control surface?
    sorry so many questions. it's really tough to make an informed decision in buying something if you don't understand the mechanics of it.
    btw, appreciate the info so far that i found doing my searches.
    thanks
    carl

    I've got the Tascam FW1082 and I absolutely love it. I can't believe I ever edited without it. I'm considering upgrading to the 1884 in the future.
    As for the mic preamps, they sound great. Nice and clean. There's no such thing as a line preamp, but the line inputs are clean as well.
    For routing, I go to the 1082 via firewire until I turn on my external video monitor, at which point I send both video & audio to the deck and route the audio from the deck into a pair of the mixer's analog inputs. That way you avoid the delay of external monitoring. The 1082 allows you to listen to both the computer & the inputs at the same time, so switching back and forth is seamless.
    As for durability, I've had it out on a few location recordings, but most of the time it's on my desk. It's still in mint condition. I'm sure if it was on a display where any 10 year old could come mess with it, it wouldn't be in as great of shape, but then again, a Neve console wouldn't look that great if every little brat that walked in the door could play with it. If you take care of your stuff, you'll have no issues with this mixer.

  • Logic 9 is not recognizing my midi control surface.

    hi, i am currently running logic pro 9 on os 10.6.8 and i have an m audio oxygen 49 controller. i deleted this by mistake in logic. it is seen in my midi/audio setup but i cannot install it in logic again because it is not being recognized. it is usb and tried shutting it off and disconnecting it but still nothing.
    can some one please help before i rip all the hair out of my head?

    First thing to do is quit Logic and delete the control surfaces preference file, it will be rebuilt next time Logic starts.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
    then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    In this order:
    1. Delete the control surface preference file, be sure and include the tilde ~ in the path name just as it's written above.
    2. Unplug the Oxy49
    3. Reboot the computer, let it settle.
    4. Plug in the Oxy49, wait 30 seconds
    5.Start Logic

  • Logic 9 with Roland VS100 Control surface Issue.

    Hey guys, Ive got a Roland VS100 to use with Logic 9 here. 
    The VS is setup directly according to instructions as well as Logic.
    The issue is when I push play on the VS 100, Logic stays in the first second and just stutters, the transport will NOT move down the timeline.
    Ive checked all the syn setting in Logic and mad sure the VS 100 was set to " other" for Control Surfaces which it uses Mackie Contorl Universal.
    Any ideas?   Sonar forum is no help.  Loop is OFF before anyone asks

    I was fortunate and only have to do it once. I did this over a year ago, but from what I remmber I updated the operating system on the VS100 first, then the drivers for my mac.
    I use an AKAI MPK25 for midi. I directly connect it into the mac using one of the USB ports. No issues and works great with Logic.
    I never tried to connect a midi keyboard directly to the VS100, but I know you can probably try using Midi in/Midi out capabilities, but I dont understand the reason why.. are you going to use the BK5 to trigger functions from the VS100?

  • Original 02R and control surface

    Dear Logic Users,
    This is a brilliant forum! I've always been amazed by the knowledge of everyone out there.
    This time, I have a really tricky problem to solve.
    I've obtained a Yamaha 02R and I wish to use it as a control surface in Logic. Although it's not directly supported, I've read you can use the learn features of Logic to connect via midi.
    I also have a MOTU Midi Express XT.
    When I select menu Apple Pro Logic --> Preferences --> Control Surfaces --> Learn parameter 'no parameter selected' or 'controller assignments' and learn
    The motu midi express seems to beam the synchronisation tick without giving me chance to move a fader on my 02R.
    Does anyone know how I can disable this feature in my MOTU.
    Or - does anyone know how i can setup a port and parameter I can learn.
    I know I've got a long way to go, but any help here would be amazing.
    Kind regards,
    Andrew

    Currently, my settings in the Yam 02R are as follows:

  • Using Yamaha AW2400 as control surface for Logic Pro 9

    I am a freelance pro sound engineer currently working as tech support for a local school. They have a Yamaha AW2400 in their studio, something which I have never come across before despite using numerous Yammy desks. They also have a Mac running Lion and Logic Pro 9.
    What I want to do is use the desk as a control surface for Logic and record direct to the Mac if possible. I have installed the Yamaha USB-MIDI drivers on the Mac and had the desk running as a device for file transfer (via the USB connection) but everything else is beyond my knowledge of the desk and Logic.
    I am a Pro Tools guy so Logic is a bit new to me but I know how to setup a new control surface. and the basic operations.
    What I need help with is...
    - what control surface to use as there is no preset on the desk for a AW2400
    - what port settings to use on Logic
    - what TX and RX settings to use on the AW2400
    - what Remote Out settings to use on the AW2400
    - any other info I may need
    Thanks in advance, hope some can help.

    See page 204 of the AW2400 User Guide...
    http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/pa/english/recorders/aw2400_en_om_b0.pdf
    Note: the User Guide says that only LP7 is supported but you never know.. it may work with LP9... Test and see..

  • Yamaha 01v96 v2 as control surface.

    Hi there, does anyone out there use this digi mixer as a control surface? My problem is;
    1/ When I set the DAW channels to 2-3 and do everything logic tells me, it seems that the mixer continuously and repeatedly outputs a c-2 note event. I can get over this by putting a filter between the MIDI 3 port and the sequencer input but it sould not be happening.
    2/ The control surface tends to be very tempramental and loses contact with Logic. Message on mixer "01v96 has gone offline and is waiting for midi input". Message on Logic "Logic has lost contact with 01v96, please power cycle"
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there Morten.
    Have been having the same problem. Spoke to several people about this fact (while bouncing the O2R96 goes off line). No solution yet. Must say my bounces are fine tho. Haven't had a blip on them yet. Just the tedium with the "okay" depress. How are yours?
    As for the MIDI out activity you see on the transport bar, have spoken to Yamaha Kemble at length about this (to try to get rid of it as it was bugging me too. What happens when the counter gets to 000000? Still haven't got there yet...). They assured me that this is an essential part of the O2R96s communication sync with Logic. The O2R96 sends a MIDI message to Logic (every second apparently) in order to asertain whether "it" can hear "it". This is then/'should be' echoed back by Logic. Apparently this prevents MIDI data jams by telling the user that Logic is no longer in contact with the O2R96. Basically that alert you get "Logic is unable to communicate with "O2R96". Please Powercycle..." If it still bugs you, you could get rid of the MIDI window in the transport bar? This does however take away one's All MIDI Note Off command away...
    Hope that answers the why question.

    You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

  • Using Logic Pro 9 and Tascam DM-4800.  Can't get the Tascam to work as a control surface via firewire...   any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!

    The DM-4800 and Logic see each other, the firewire shows as 'locked' on both.   Can pass audio back and fourth, no automation from the Tascam though.   I know its either a midi setting or control surface settings...  but I'm stumped.   Newbie at Logic here.   Any ideas what to check?  Thanks in advance!

    Plug in the usb lead.

  • Control Surfaces and Native Plugins

    I have a Novation RemoteZero SL and, though I can access basic volume and pan, and I can control plugins from other companies where Novation has set up "AutoMap", I can't control Logic's own plugins! It won't learn them or control them in any way. This is a known issue for Novation, but what of other controllers?
    Are there any controllers that easily control Logic's effects like the eq banks, compressors, etc? This seems bonehead basic, but I can't find any info on this topic here or in other discussions.
    Thanks.

  • Control surface and interface at the same time

    Is it possible to plug in a control surface and an interface at the same time? My plan is to use a Mackie Control Universal Pro (USB) for my control surface and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 IO Firewire Interface for monitor use during mixing. Will Logic Pro 9 allow me to do this?

    Thank you

  • Voice Control - does it learn and what's the "Wrong" command for?

    1) Like others, I find Voice Control laughably inaccurate sometimes when trying to get it to play an artist. I'm wondering if it "learns" and gets better the more you use it?
    2) In the manual, there's a command you can called "wrong" or "nope". In what situation would I use it? Whenever I've tried so far, by the time I get to say it, the original (incorrect) command has already executed!

    "Wrong" or "No" is for stopping a command and returning voice control to the listening phase. "Cancel" takes you out of voice control. If the command is to play or call a specific name, you can cancel it, but if it's a simple command like "play", "shuffle", "genius", or "what's playing" there is no cancel.
    VC for iPod control seems to have a serious bug. It's not inaccurate, it's just not working.
    There seems to be a condition where it will only recognize the first few artists in your library, and often not at all. I have restored my phone several times, rebuilt my iTunes library on the PC, and have yet to get it working properly.
    I have experienced, variously, after each restore and reload of the phone:
    - Voice control will not start, or never gets to where it is listening (with the waveform). This can usually be fixed by a hard reset.
    - Only artists from the first part of the alphabet are recognized. Only albums by these artists are recognized, regardless of letter. If I say anything else, it will pick the artist/album from these artists that sounds the most like what I say. One time it was artists A-F, the other time it was just the first 4 "A" artists. Contacts and playlists are recognized OK.
    - Even worse: No artists, albums, or playlists are recognized. Simple commands and contacts still work. This is where I'm at now, after a clean load of iTunes, a newly built iTunes library, a complete restore of the iPhone software, and set up as a NEW phone (no backup restored). That's as clean as you can get.
    I've been to the Genius Bar, and I've called support. Both times they have escalated my case to an an engineer. Apple is willing to replace my phone in-store tomorrow, but I don't think it is a hardware problem: The mic works, the headset mic works, and other VC features work.
    The only thing I can think of at this point is there is some artist/album name in my library that is causing it to fail?

  • Logic 9 and Logic Control Surface

    I recently received a Behringer BCF2000 as a gift and have successfully set it up in LC (Logic Control) mode. I'm having an odd problem, however, as the control surface only is receiving from Logic and changes on the BCF2000 are not reflecting in logic. When I change sliders/pan positions/etc in Logic, the BCF2000 reflects these changes. However, pressing buttons on the BCF2000 is unresponsive and if I move a slider, the motorized fader will return to the position as set in Logic.
    I have been scouring the manuals for a solution, I'm sure it's something simple but I'm getting very frustrated. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!

    Indeed.
    Remove the control surface driver, and use LC Xmu instead. It's the absolute best way to use the Korg controllers with Logic, and has just about every feature you want/need.
