Expression Pedal to Wah Pedal in Logic Pro X

This should be simple as control-click the pedal and assign a midi controller such as cc11 but it isn't.
How in heaven's name do you control the wah-wah foot pedal with your MIDI foot pedal?
Somebody, please...I been trying to figure this out for days!

In LPX it is almost that easy.....
Note: Make sure you have turned on ALL the advanced features in LPX's Prefs/Advanced before proceeding
1) Select the track you wish to automate and make sure the plugin (or in your case, I assume the Pedalboard interface) is visible on the screen
2) Press Command + L to open the Control Assignment window.
3) If the Learn button in the bottom righthand corner of the Control Assignment Window is not Blue.. click on it once to turn it on (Blue in color)
4) Click on the wah pedal graphic in the pedalboard window
5) Move your Expression Pedal all the way up and all the way down. You should see the Wah pedal graphic move along with your movements of the expression pedal.
6) Click the Blue Learn button to complete the process.
7) Done.
Additional info: Instead of... or in addition to...your expression pedal  you could also assign any other slider or knob on your midi controller for example to any other knob/slider or parameter in the pedal board or any other plugin or the LPX mixer functions such as pan or effect send level... for that matter... you currently have active too... by repeating the above process from Step #2
Now read up on automation in the manual as to how to best record such movements and be able to easily edit them if needed.

  • Amp designer and pedal board not working in Logic Pro 8

    Hello! I am new to LOGIC PRO 8 and maybe my silly question has a easy answer. When I want to record a guitar or a bass in the audio channel created for it, and want to insert for example a complete rig, the sound won't load and a message will apper saying "pedalboard not available" "amp designer not available" or pedal not available". If I open Mainstage 2 or Garage Band and I play, pedals are working and all amp modulation as well. If I go and look into the application support and plug-in settings folders it seems to me that everything is there. What am I missing or doing wrong? how can I solve the problem and make these enable for recording? THANK YOU FOR HELPING!

  • Logic Express on MBP 2.2 to Logic Pro or Wait? Track count? 720 RPM drive?

    Hey there,
    Just a few easy questions, some of which I am sure have been asked but didn't find with search.
    Wondering if I should upgrade to Logic Pro or wait until after Leapord? As their is some speculation the FCP is going to come out (NEW) and be very, VERY Apple like, not like iMovie, (he said, and saw), but nonetheless very VERY Apple like for FCP, so wondering how far Logic is. Also, how many times can you install LP?
    Right now everything from Storm Drum FX EXtreme, EWQL SO, VLS, etc, are all on PC and I still don't use the PC that much and am hoping new LOGIC include a great drum machine.
    II. Anyone know what track counts you can expect with off the shelf MBP 2.2 and plug ins? (Soft Synths)?
    III. Has anyone upgrade their HD to 7200? If so, more or less batter life? Any real world difference besides boot up time in AUDIO work advantages?
    Thanks

    Now see, this is what I was afraid of. (LOL), I have built PC's for a long time and was always under the impression having a 7200 RPM System drive is fine and these days so fast with eSata that on a MBP 2.2 (which is what I have - someone asked what I was using, or did they mean software), that is should be plenty fast enough, just wondering though for samples, BFD, DrumCore, VSL, etc if those should go on a firewire.
    I also use Absysnth (if this is what you mean (other poster), Nuendo, FC Express, SX3, Logic E, Reason, ......
    Two scenarios:
    Music=Mine, Drum machine, really like the Addictive (also have and Drumcore) as well as have Groove Agent, Storm Drum, (No storm drum yet or FX Extreme for Intel, let alone EWQLSO?), bass, guitar, vocals.
    Scenario II. Scoring Trailers:
    Soft Synth, Samplers (EWQL/VSL), Reason, Absynth.
    Most of the time I could do this on a old system equal to first duo on PC on the system disc, although I had 4 HD's. The Firewire is Mackie 400F, which also has a firewire, (extra) that I have plugged a digital cam cord AND up popped iDVD, iMovie, also have FCP.
    But it's interesting that the two responses I got one said much better performance, the other not.
    So, are we using in the new 2.2 (LED) eSata)? Is the a 32 slot for the MBP for eSata HD? Isn't this supposed to be the fastest?

  • Do I have to keep Logic Express installed after I upgrade to Logic Pro?

    Would like to delet Logic Express to make space but don't kow if that will make Logic Pro/Studio inoperable.
    Got Studio through upgrade form Express.

    Nope.
    You SHOULD still be able to run both!
    One trick you could try before installing Logic X, is to "Get Info" on the Logic Express Icon, and LOCK it.
    This way, in case the new Logic X DOES want to overwrite Logic Express, it won't be able to.

  • Casio SP33 Keyboard Pedals in Logic Pro 9?

    Dear all,
    Can I use my Casio SP33 Keyboard Pedals for PX-150 in Logic Pro 9?
    I practice piano with headphones on while my digital piano (Casio PX-150.) is plugged into my Mac book pro.
    I decided to buy the designated trio of pedals, along with the piano in order to practice in the comfort of my home.
    In addition so i could practice pieces for University piano performance exams, meaning i need to have a realistic approach to practicing pieces.
    I use Logic Pro 9 as my source for VST's. Now i HAVE to plug in my headphones as people don't like noise!
    I found the Sustain pedal (right pedal) works perfectly. While the Una corda (left pedal,) and
    Sostenuto (middle pedal,) don't work at all.
    I will greatly appreciate if anyone could give me an answer.
    Thank you for taking time to read this.
    Best wishes,
    Andy J Stack.

  • Logic Express - Logic Pro

    Hi guys. I purchased my MacBook Pro + Logic Express around 2 years ago. I heard a rumour recently that because i bought Logic Express i can now upgrade to Logic Pro for free via the App Store. Is this true? or am i being really gullible/hopeful?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't upgrade to Logic Pro for free. If you open the App Store and try to download Logic Pro, you will see that it will charge you the cost of the application. Also, note that the license of applications bought in a DVD can't be transferred to the Mac App Store without purchasing them

  • Latency issue Logic pro 9.1.3.

    Hey,
    At the same time as upgrading to Logic from Garageband
    I bought a Cakewalk Roland UA25EX ext usb soundcard because i was told
    i'd have latency issues if i used the caps lock keyboard for midi
    or direct input thru the input jack of
    my MacBookPro
    (5,3 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz)
    Sometimes i use the caps lock keyboard to sketch in midi ideas and mostly it's ok.
    Other times it's delayed and there's no smile on my face.
    When recording with guitars/303/generators DI thru the soundcard
    I have latency issues that don't seem to be very regular.
    Sometimes it's worse than others.
    I make sure i have nothing else running on the computer,
    just Logic Pro 9.1.3, so it's not like i'm overloading macbrains.
    I have tried all the rebooting, i/o buffer size changing (down to 256), headfones from the mac output/headfones from the soundcard/ etc
    but still no luck.
    I can record with the low latency button on
    and it's kind of better, nearly, but that means i don't get to record with the effects on the channel strip
    that affects the recording/playing quite a lot, as i'm used to recording with effects/guitar amps if i go DI.
    This was the selling point - that i could record DI wthout disturbing Thee Neighbours.
    It seems to have gotten worse recently.
    I wonder if it's been corrupted somehow because it also has been acting funny when i bounce down -
    the play head is set to 1111 and i save - then in the bounce window
    the start position says a silly random number and it takes a few attempts of fiddly changes to get it to stay at 1111...frustration!
    Is there something i can do or is this normal? -
    it seems weird that a Pro app that cost me so much £s wouldn't work in a simple recording/bounce down set up?
    or has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
    If i wipe Logic and install again would i have to go from my Logic Express and then up to my Logic Pro upgrade/extension again?
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Fox,
    Thanks for that info -well umm, yes i installed the correct drivers.
    I use just the AU plugins or the basic logic ones on the channel strip
    but even when i was going in dry there was still a delay.
    I had experimented with the buffer size, as mentioned, but not gone down that low cus
    last time i tried that i had other strange things happen!
    But i will try again.
    Sample rate was at zero, btw. Always says zero.
    But today, when i just opened logic, the sample rate had changed. Strange. I need to understand this side of things so i'm gonna read up.
    Also, if plugins are involved, i installed some novation bass station and some freeware TAL bass synth
    stuff recently but don't have them up when i'm recording.
    Maybe they sit there quietly and interfere just by their facial expressions or sumthing!!
    I booted Mr MBP just now and i pulled out the USB and he's shining me a big ole red optical light
    out of his output jack!!
    In SysPrefs it has only optical digital as an output option.
    In the last few days as i was playing around trying to correct the latency issue i noticed that the output options had changed to the UA25 and the 'digital optical' options - rather than the UA25 and 'line out'.
    I'm off to go and read up on how to get my line out back, and try this buffer thing again.
    Thanks again

  • Mainstage still packaged with Logic Pro?

    So I wanted to get the jam packs to use in garageband but it turns out they're all in Mainstage 2 now. I am planning on upgrading to logic in a year or so and I thought mainstage came packaged with it. Do you have to purchase them separately now? Logic express used to be $199 and Logic Pro was $499. What happened to that? Are all the plugins and third party effects gone now? What is going on?

    Mainstage is no longer packaged with Logic Pro.
    It can be downloaded separately (with all of its JamPacky goodness) for $29.99.
    Logic Express was cancelled as Logic Pro now costs what Logic Express used to cost: $199.

  • ProKit 4.5 Update for Logic Pro 7.2.3

    I've just run Software Update, and it is telling me to install the new *ProKit 4.5 update*.
    However the info says that it is "+recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Aperture, Logic Studio and Logic Express+". It doesn't mention *Logic Pro 7* at all.
    Should I install or should this not have come up ??
    Thanks

    How can we find out any info from Apple? The info page is ridiculously short of info. As well as not even MENTIONING Logic Pro 7 either way, it gives no info whatsoever as to what the fix does.
    It's really not acceptable. Logic Pro was not cheap and it's as if it has been forgotten since releasing the new version.
    I've also had lots of problems with Logic since installing Leopard. I hope 10.5.2 fixes things... Wish I had stayed on Tiger...

  • Wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but don't want to work with logic pro 9.1.8 on my MBPro end 2011

    Install on MacBook Pro end of 2011 with logic Pro 9.1.8 and Apogee GIO interface guitar
    The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
    Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
    HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

  • Any ideas on how to control the amount of sustain pedal data that Logic Pro 9 records? Every time I press the sustain pedal down, it records 4 sustains. Same thing when I release the pedal. Thanks!

    Any ideas on how to control the amount of sustain pedal data that Logic Pro 9 records? Every time I press the sustain pedal down, it records 4 sustains. Same thing when I release the pedal. Thanks!

    This gets confusing, you have two Macs with different issues and two pedals with different issues? First let's sort out what's what. So, do the issues come from the pedals or from the Mac software? To find out, simply switch the pedals and note their behaviour. No change: it's the software, change: it's the pedals (imho the most likely scenario).
    Second, what kind of pedals are they? Can you name the type of pedal too? The Yamaha what and the Mgear which?
    Third, with the 4 fold data problem, are the doubled events simultaneous, or a few ticks apart, or more?
    Also, you have no MIDI keyboard? Are the pedals both "standalone"?
    I think you have to sort this problem at its' source, which are the pedals. You could, if push really comes to shove, perhaps create some sort of ingeneous/elaborate transformer setup in the environment to filter the extra messages, although with the 4/4 sustain events that may not even be possible. With the "stepped" events you could set up a filter to just block all events with values 20-110 or so.
    But much better would be to configure the pedal(s) correctly.

  • Wah pedal

    I can get the wah pedal to respond to my expression pedal (Roland EV-5), but it only goes from up, to all the way pressed but nothing in between.

    Wish I could delete this. I just switched keyboards and it worked properly. The Logic Environment View needs much work to be user friendly - Propellerhead has that down!

  • How to use the wah pedal in L9?

    Hi there,
    In the new pedal board in L9 there is a couple of wah pedals. Does any one know how to use them 'real time'? May be with an expression pedal, so I won't have to automate the whole thing?
    Basicly I wan't to be able to play my guitar with wah when I record.
    Any suggestions?
    Best regards

  • Can midi keyboard sustain pedal control guitar stomp box wah pedal

    Does anyone know if a midi keyboard sustain pedal can be used to control a guitar stomp box variable.  Specifically the controller pedal for the "wah" pedals. Many thanks!

    Sustain cannot control Wah, because a sustain pedal only sends out value 0 (up/off) or value 127 (down/on). You need an expression/volume pedal, that sends out continuous messages from 1 to 127, which is what you'ld need for operating Wah.
