Anyone using Cakewalk/Roland A800-pro controller with Logic?

I'm looking to buy an extra keyboard besides my Fantom X8 to use onstage and trigger sounds from the Fantom. So it has to have a classic MIDI-out and a nice keybed. The A800-pro seems the right board to do that.
But when at home I want to use it with Logic also. The A800-pro has the ACT system of Sonar integrated, but I don't use Sonar, I use Logic on a Macbook Pro (wich maybe will be taken onstage too).
Is anyone using the Cakewalk A-pro series with a Mac? How does it function as a controller? Or what other board do you recommend instead? Does it funtion well with mainstage?
Thanks in advance, Wilmar

Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
Any suggestions?

  • Anyone using Mac Mini as a DAW with Logic?

    Hello Applers',
    I am currently using an imac as my DAW ith Logic Pro 9. I am wondering if anyone is using a mini with logic and how does it perform. The one thing that worries me is the 5400 RPM drive and I fear that the Solid State drive, even dualed would not offer enough storage space for the Long Haul as I currently have over a TB filled and an external TB drive 70% full with older files on my Imac. Just looking for opinions here and thanks!

  • Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?

    Hi,
    Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?  If so, is it working well and would you do it again?  Is it compatible with the Apple dual DVI cable?
    Thanks,
    Alan

    I just got a Yamakasi precision 2703.  I'm using it with a 13" macbook pro (non retina).  I got it working with a thunderbolt / minidisplayport to dual link DVI adapter from monoprice for $~70.  At first I didn't think it was going to work, plugged it in, turned on the display, nothing happened.  I unplugged, plugged the USB cable back in and the monitor came to life.  Working great so far.  I bought mine from green-sum on ebay.  The recommend not using this monitor with apple computers due to overheating issues... I don't see why that would be the case, though.  I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far no issues, and I've been happy with the monitor, no dead pixels, no bleed in the corners.
    The monitor stand on the 2703 isn't too bad, a little wobbly but not as bad as the others from what I've read.  The monitor does sit a little low, though.  I have a much sturdier stand coming from monoprice for $20+shipping, which will provide tons of adjustment, both height and rotation.
    Good luck!

  • Mac Pro/Intel with Logic 8, HD Accel Hardware, Expansion Chassis - Anyone?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone out there is running a Mac Pro/Intel with Logic 8 and an HD Accel system with an expansion chassis. Apple does not support running Logic with HD hardware with an expansion chassis. However, we have been running one successfully (sort of) with Logic 8 on a G5. Unfortunately, the chassis we have doesn't provide the bandwidth that we need to get the track counts that we are looking for, so we are considering upgrading to a Mac Pro with either the Magma PE6R4 chassis or the Magma 64 bit 7 slot chassis. Anyone tried either of these configurations?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I am running Logic Studio 8 on my Mac Pro 4-core 2.66 (specs below) using internal HDs only and it runs like a charm.
    No overload message yet and it seems to me that I have to do feed it a lot more than I do right now to even come close to an overload message.
    So with a 2.8 8-core you are well in line and should have quite some reserves.
    My personal opinion is, if you can afford the money for the Mac Pro, go for it.
    Have Fun

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

  • Anyone using Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro with OSX??

    Is anyone successfully using a Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro with their Mac? The specs say a WinTel machine is required, but I'm wondering if the camera/microphone functions will just plug-and-play on a mac even without the Logitech software...
    Thanks,
    JAG

    Thank you very much for your post; I went out and bought this webcam after reading about your experience. I can confirm that the Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro works with my G5 (2 x 2 GHz) and iBook G4 (1.2 GHz). I purchased it at Best Buy on sale for $60; every one they had came in the MS Vista & ©2006 packaging. I initially had problems with it working with my G5, but it had no problems working with my iBook. I eventually traced the problem on my G5 to a screwy Tiger installation (I had been having weird USB2 issues for quite a while in fact), and after I reinstalled Tiger, the Quickcam 5000 works just fine on my G5 too.
    As for application compatibility... the camera is recognized without me needing to install a driver when using Skype, Yahoo Messenger, QuickTime Pro, and HackTV. However, when I try to use it with iChat, iChat always claims the webcam is busy - from all the other posts it seems iChatUSBCam should allow the camera to work with iChat. I personally haven't tried it because I use Skype to video chat with my GF (who uses a PC and the PC version of Skype). It's a little choppy, but I think it's because I'm on cable and she's on DSL. Also, I'm willing to live with some choppiness to use a $60 webcam instead of paying the ridiculous $300 it takes to buy an iSight on fleaBay nowadays.

  • Anyone using an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw printer with SL?

    I'm thinking of getting this printer. Can anyone using this with Snow Leopard please let me know how well it works? Any issues? Nice printer? I will be replacing a Samsung CLP-315 which prints very nicely, but doesn't work well after updating from Tiger to SL.
    Thanks

    It works just fine.  I picked up a 1525 yesterday, configured it using Lion, and I just now configured my wife's SL laptop to work with it.  No problems.  Just don't install the HP disk and let OS-X grab drivers for it and you should be fine.
    It's a little tricky configuring with Lion for wireless printing, but it's doable.  See my post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3449512 for a checklist.

  • Has anyone used the new 5K retina iMac with Lightroom

    Has anyone  used Lightroom with the new 5K Imac. If so any problems ?

    Just bought one - arrives next week. From what i can tell it's should be the fastest mac for lightroom. Processor speed is most vital. Doesn't really use all the mac pro multiple cores as I understand 4 is plenty (correct me pls?) and 16Gb ram should hopefully do it. Getting a raid thunderbolt 2 drive for image storage which will daisy chain with my eizo monitor. Choose 3tb internal fusion as I understand full SSD doesn't really help too much. 2GB graphics plenty unless you're doing video maybe?.
    Only issue is I have a series of archive 3TB firewire 800 drives which are daisy chained. the questions is how will these work with an adapter but this remains to be seen....

  • Has anyone used the Panasonic BT-LH2600WP monitor with Premiere CC and AJA T-TAP?

    I'm considering investing in the Panasonic 26" BT-LH2600WP to use as a color correct monitor with my 27" imac and a aja T-tap (thunderbolt to sdi adapter).  Has anyone done this or know if there are any quality issues?
    thanks
    Phil

    Phil, I have a similar set up, but I have the 17-inch Panasonic SDI monitor. Premier works okay with the T-Tap, with some minor yet annoying bugs.
    If I monitor audio via HDMI from the T-Tap, which I prefer, then my Panasonic monitor and its matching audio are about half a second out of sync with the iMac display. (But the HDMI audio is perfectly synced with the Panasonic SDI video.) This is annoying because both the Panasonic and the iMac are directly in front of me, and it's confusing seeing the out of sync iMac image. Definitely not something to show any clients.
    If I switch my audio monitoring to "Adobe Desktop Audio," which is the feed from the iMac's headphone jack, this problem disappears. In that case, the Panasonic and the iMac display are almost perfectly matched up. However, now I'm getting lower quality audio, with added digital-to-analog processing in the signal.
    Using the T-Tap is smooth and trouble free in Final Cut Pro X, but in Premier it is a bit buggy. That said, it works mostly okay.
    While we're on the subject, can anyone suggest the best Preferences settings in Premier to use the AJA T-Tap? I may be missing something.
    Thanks!

  • Can I use a VS-700C control surface with Logic Pro?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if I can use a Roland VS-700C control surface and/or VS-700R audio interface with Logic Pro?

    If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

  • Using Eventide Eclipse as outboard gear with Logic Pro 8/9

    Hi, people,
    Anyone using Eventide's Eclipse as outboard FX box with Logic Pro? I'm thinking of getting one and running it via digital I/O into my RME Fireface 800. Any info appreciated.
    Thanks, Scorpii.

    Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you .

  • Anyone using AP2 on a 2Ghz G5 with Radeon 9600 graphics?

    I had high hopes for v1.5 but it just ran too slow on my G5 to be usable. I hoped to upgrade the card to an x800 xt but after being on order through B&H for six months or so with the estimate of availability "within the next 2 weeks" for that whole time, I finally gave up and got my money back from B&H and gave up on Aperture.
    I have now ordered V2, and I'm hopeful it will be - if not fast - at least usable now on my 2Ghz G5 with the 9600 card. (3GB ram)
    Is there anyone using it with this configuration who could provide me with some feedback?
    Much appreciated!
    Forrest Smyth

    I got a 2x2.5Ghz PowerMac G5, 2 GB RAM, with a 23" Apple Display, and a ATI Radeon 9600 XT..
    I also found Ap1.5 to be a bit to slow, but I just stuck with it.. I have now installed the trail version of Ap2.0 and its quite noticeably faster, fast enough for me to keep this Mac for a while longer (unless it breaks)..
    Im not entirely sure, but it seems that it takes a bit longer to fully load an image (Nikon D80 RAW files) then in Ap1.5.. but thats not to bad, just use quick view mode to browse around.. and then work on the images you want to work on.
    As I said it all works faster, straightening can now actually be done in near real-time
    and all the other sliders (even highlight & shadows) are far more responsive..
    now I must say this is in an aperture library with only about 200-300 images.. I hope it will stay as fast when I get the full version and get all my 30,000 images in it.
