How to not link the track volume with CC7

Question

I need CC11 to do the notes' expression , CC7 to do the phases' volume.
But every time I move the CC7 rate, the track volume (left hand side, the big slide pan) move as CC7.
I used to use sonar, it doesn't have that problem
How to disable the link between CC7 and the volume slide pan?

Answer 1

Hi,
as far as I know, CC7 is reserved for Volume, and as you used it for another function, you did something extraordinary (even with sonar ) Look what tweakheadz says: http://www.tweakheadz.com/midi_controllers.htm *7 Volume (MSB) If you re-route to Controller 7, your software mixer will mess up*
You have several solutions:
1st: Select the MIDI regions in question, go to the event list and filter it by searching for controller No. 7. Now you can easily select them all together and change them (all together) to another value that Logic likes more (and that fits MIDI standards better...)
2nd: Now comes the really advanced way: Build an environment including a transformer for each and every software instrument, cableing the transformer to the software instruments channelstrip input. Now, in the arrange, you have to re-assign the MIDI tracks to the transformer in the environment. It's more complicated than playing chess against Kasparow, but it will open you unknown fields of possibilities (I've tested it and it works for me, but i really don't need this solution for 99,9% of my music). It's a MIDI wasteland for people who as kids loved to play with do-it-yourself electronic kits and weld their cables themselfes... In short: You have to know some thing about signal flow and how MIDI works. Perhaps it is the philosophers stone for you? Who knows.
Anyway, I'd recommend solution No. 1 because it is easy, quick and it works.
