Controlling Surround with a USB-Joystick???

Hi there,
is it possible to control the surround-panners in logic Pro7 with USB-joystick, e.g. Logitech? What kind of system preferences do I have to change within Logic Pro to use this joystick?
Thanks,
Thore

well, i bought a logitech extreme 3D usb joystick and the steim junxion software.
junxion is transforming usb joystick messages in midi controls: that works very well and in a very easy way with all controllers, except with ..... the surround pan !
it seems impossible to send x and y messages to the surround pan in Logic, as when learning the midi controller assignation , the surround pan in logic only reacts as angle and diversity controls, but the logic pro 7.1 update infos do mention that surround joysticks do work well...
apple support does not accept to answer my question, as i bought logic more than six months now, (i think its a pity that apple bought logic , for this problem of support)
I asked steim support if they know how to do, i'm waiting for an answer...
anybody can contribute ?

  • Surround panning controlled by usb-joystick

    hi,
    is anyone using a simple usb-joystick for controlling the surround panning?
    i'd like to have a quick approach to surround-panning (for experimental-multichannel-music and other weird stuff) without using the mouse or trackpad.
    thanks for any help.

    Try using JunXion, by Steim.
    This software transforms non-MIDI controllers of your choice, into MIDI controllers, with the ability to designate what MIDI CC is controlled by what button/joystick/etc...
    I use it to make things that do not output MIDI info normally, to transform their output inot MIDI CC of any kind, in order to do wild things.
    I use a X-Box-style controller that has not one, but TWO joysticks! A Belkin something-or-other... and also I have an older usb joystick that I can use for panning. It is very cool, especially in surround!!!
    Lots'o'fun.

  • Volume control buttons not working with new usb keyboard

    Hi all,
    I recently replaced the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac with the usb keyboard (the long aluminium one, with the number block). Typing is no problem, but the volume control keys dont seem to work with this keyboard as I was used to with the bluetooth keyboard: max vol, increase/decrease and vol. off dont operate with any of the keys (f, alt, str, cmd, shift). Only thing I can do is get a view of the running programs or make the current application vanish from the screen.
    Tried to change the keyboard setting in preferences for the F1-12 keys - made no change.
    help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was able to fix this bug by upgrading to OS X 10.6.8.
    Very strange that a) it was a problem in the first place and b) that the upgrade did not happen automatically
    Thanks very much to Haggibbor, who alerted me to that possibility. Since I read this in a thread I did not open myself, I unfortunately do not know how to let him have the 10 points I would like him to receive. (Hints for this newbie are very welcome.)
    Problem of volume control keys is now solved.

  • Does Mackie Control work with Final Cut 7 when using USB MIDI?

    I have a Mackie Control Universal Pro connected via USB to my mac and it works GREAT with Logic and all the complimentary Logic Studio software.
    The problem I am having is, when I try to use it with Final Cut, it wont work at all. I have read the post concerning this that was answered by Andy Mees but, I dont use a true MIDI connection, only USB.
    Any thoughts?

  • Router Console Connect Problem With Mini Usb (1941 Series - Os Win7 64Bit) (SOLVED)

    I can not connect console with mini usb, my router is cisco 1941 series and my os win7 x64 help me please ?
    My problem was solved thanks to this topic;
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing#comment-9697916

    Hi,
    Here is how I have managed to enable the communication with the 1941 using the usb A-B cable:
    Download the usb console driver 3.1
    Install the x64 version on your PC (as administrator)
    After the installation was completed:
    Open the Device Manager. There will be a new entry named “CiscoUsbConsoleWindowsDrive”. Expand it and select the “Cisco USB to Serial adaptor”.
    From the drop-down select “Update Driver Software…
    In the “Update Drive Software” dialog select “Browse my computer for driver software”
    In the next window, a driver location should be displayed, if not browse your PC and find the …\Windows_64 folder where you have extracted the 3.1 driver.
    After the driver software was updated, there should be a new entry in the “Ports (COM &LPT)” named “Cisco Serial (COMx)”.
    You can configure the port here:
    Right click on the “Cisco Serial (COMx)” and select “properties” and set the properties to this;
    Bits per second :9600
    Data bits              :8
    Parity                    :None
    Stop bits              :1
    Flow control       :None
    The new COM port should be ready to accept the connection with the router.
    I am using Tera Terms VT, and it is working well with the above driver and settings.
    Should you wont to use the Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) download the 2.7 version and make shore you have the current Adobe Flush and a current Java installed on you PC.
    Hope this will help.

  • IPad2 with automotive usb

    Have a Chevy Tahoe with built in usb port which I use for my iPod - works great. 
    Question - can my iPad-2 also be used with this usb port, for charging and/or playing music?

    However if you have something similar to Ford's Sync in your car, y ou can play music, via the USB, through the car's speakers. I can even use the sync voice control to choose songs on my iPod (never tried it on my iPad)
    I can hook my iPod up two ways, via the USB so it charges and plays music, or use the USB to charge and a 1/8th inch cable to hook my headphone out to the auxiliary in and listen that way.
    So...if the car has the programming and if the device has the compatibility, you can hook your device up via USB and play music.

  • How to set the exposure time and the gain of a connected camera with IMAQ USB

    A camera was connected to my computer with USB port and we can acquire the image through IMAQ USB.  Now we have to set separately the exposure time and the gain with the camera's driver software provided by the manufacturer.  My question is: how to set directly the exposure time and the gain of this camera in Labview?

    Welcome to the forum. Have fun

  • Reading USB joystick data directly from the USB port

    I have made a program to read USB joystick data in Labview using the "initialize joystick vi" and "acquire input data vi". I noticed that these vi's use the data from windows XP. The joystick calibrating function of windows can influence the data that Labview shows. For instance: axis 1 uncalibrated data(before calibration in windows) 3901 to 32767. After calibration in windows Labview shows me data on the same axis ranging from -32767 to 32767.
    Is it possible to read the data from the joystick before windows "messess" it up?

    USB protocols are a messy black hole.  The way each USB item communicates to the operating system is dependant on the products manufacturer.  I think that is why there are no USB functions built into LabVIEW.  Perhaps there is some way to force a calibration at the beginning of your code so that the data is consistent on each execution??? 
    Also, if I remember right, there were some recent posts concerning reading a USB mouse that you could search for to get some ideas.
    Good luck and please post a follow-up if you come up with a good solution.

  • Does anyone know how to comunicate with a USB port using labview 6?

    Does anyone know how to comunicate with a USB port using labview 6?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to communicate directly with a USB port before LabVIEW 7.0 and VISA 3.0. With the new releases, there are functions called "VISA USB Control In" and "VISA USB Control Out" that give you direct access to a USB port.
    You can definitely communicate with DAQ, Serial, or GPIB devices that are connected through a USB port, though. This is done seamlessly through the NI-DAQ, NI-Serial, and NI-488.2 drivers.

  • How can I best control a non NI USB device using LabVIEW?

    One of our radio products has a USB port for local (test) control.  When I connect the radio to a USB port on my computer the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer does not recognize the device.  Nor does it recognize the device when I attempt to "add new device".
    Within LabVIEW I am unable to assign an appropriate VISA resource name that does not cause an error when attempting to use the "VISA USB Control Out" or "VISA USB Control In" functions.  The help page for wiring up these functions is unclear, particularly for the "request" and "request type" variables.
    Would it be best to pursue this current method or purchase some type of serial (com port) to USB converter hardware to communicate with my USB radio?
    Regards
    Roger

    Sorry for the hijack, but this is a related question... I have an LV application that works using COM1 on the PC.  Customer wants me to change to a USB-to-RS485 converter.  I installed the Windows driver for the converter, then plugged the converter into USB port on the PC.  Windows and MAX both see the new port.  What I'm not sure of is the best way to have the LV app find the converter.  This application will be used on a variety of PCs so the COM port will be likely to change from PC to PC.  Or even on the same PC, sometimes another USB device might get plugged in before the converter.
    So the question is this:  The converter will always have the same vendor ID.  Is there a way for LabVIEW to look at the USB devices and pick the one with the correct ID ?  Or maybe this is overkill... the Windows driver makes the converter look like a serial port (COM4 on my PC).  The original app that worked with com1 used the VISA Configure Serial function with ASRL1:INSTR. 
    I can modify the LV app to force the user to pick from the available COM ports, but would prefer to make this happen automatically.
    Any suggestions ?

  • Problem with SB1240 USB sound card

    I'm pulling hair here! I've just bought a SB240. Windows (XP Pro, SP3) detected it and I can select it fine for listening. But when I open Sound and Audio Device Properties and select Sound Recording/Volume, I see the Capture panel with the three inputs, but all the controls are greyed out and immovable. I also use the application "Total Recorder" by High Criteria, in which I can select the SB240 device but the only input line it sees is SPDIF Interface.
    I'm stumped. Can anyone help?
    John?

    &Re: Problem with SB240 USB sound card
    Thank you. I did a complete uninstall, including the device itself (from Device Manager) as well as all drivers and any SB related software. As recommended by Creative, I had previously installed the driver software from the supplied CD and that seems to have been the problem.
    I let Windows re-detect the SB, but? got a "problem ... device may not work correctly.." during the detection, so I was not hopeful (this had not happened the first time I installed the device).
    Nevertheless it now does work fully and is properly configured in "Total Recorder" too.
    So I would suggest not using the supplied drivers and software - at least not in WinXP. But it's not very confidence inspiring.

  • Audio Controls Disabled with Firewire Interface?

    I've found a few references to this in other posts from the past, but rarely and never with any answer or solution.
    I just replaced my cheapo USB audio interface with a *Tapco Link.Firewire* interface. It works and sounds fantastic except for one issue that is a huge problem for my set up, and one I never anticipated.
    With the firewire interface selected, Mac OS X disables all volume and mute controls. This means the only way to adjust volume control is with the knob on the interface.
    The USB interface I was previously using worked like a charm with the native OS X volume controls, and it just doesn't seem right that I am locked out. I rely very much on the Apple remote and keyboard volume controls, especially the muting button.
    If there is a solution for this, a different driver I could install, I would love to know about it. There are no drivers from Tapco, they say it just works with Core Audio.
    Is this normal for these firewire interfaces or did I just maybe get a dud?

    When I use my FW interface (Ultralite) my laptop volume controls don't work, I have to use the volume control on the interface, my monitors' volume control or volume controls within any software I'm using.
    It's normal.

  • Add Vol controls to non-Apple USB Keyboard?

    Hi all. I just bought the Kensington Spillproof USB keyboard (for obvious reasons). The only problem with it is that it lacks the volume up, down, and mute buttons that the Apple keyboards have. Is there any way I can make a shortcut (possibly using the F keys) to control sound levels from my keyboard like I used to be able to do on my Apple board? Thanks!

    Hi Sound Speed-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
    Is this a USB keyboard or an adapted PC model?
    If it isn't USB per se it most likely won't play nice with any Mac. Does it worked on a PC with the USB adapter?

  • Accessing a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW

    I am trying to access a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW. I see that this issue has been posted before...has anyone come up with a solution?

    Microsoft's DirectX, free via MSDN, is a set of development libraries for high performance games avilable in both a VB and C++ SDK. Input from USB joysticks is supported in the DirectInput portion of the SDK.
    The ActiveX object for the VB flavor will NOT work with LV. It initially appears to work. You can make an activeX connection but the input device objects are created dynamically from device enumerations and LV requires objects to be defined at connection time.
    However, if you are up to it, (I am severely C syntax challenged), you could probably use the LV call library node along with the C++ SDK to make the DLL calls.
    If your budget allows, these guys:
    http://www.xon.de/reference/XOnMultimedia/_XmmJoy_VIs.html
    sell a DirectX based LV multimedia
    toolkit that appears to support Z-axis joysticks. Their website is a little messed up and the German description for the toolkit is coming up on the english side. This link is the english documentation for the toolkit. Maybe if you poke around you can get 100% english. If not you can contact Peter Prinzen [ [email protected] ]for further info. I think it was $45 USD about 4 months ago. Good Luck.

    I have an iBook with Dual USB that won't fully turn on. it flashes a "?" and the Mac face symbol in a folder i the middle of the screen. How can I trouble shoot?

    Restart with the Option key held down and see if the internal drive appears.
    If it does, click on it, press Enter, and then change the setting in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences or the Startup Disk control panel.
    If it doesn't, insert a Mac OS install CD or DVD and use the Disk Utility or Disk First Aid to repair the internal drive. If there aren't any problems, install an OS onto it.
