Logic 7.1.1 with Tascam FW-1884 (1.5.0)

hi
can anyone please provide instructions for configuring the FW-1884 to work with logic 7.1.1? I have tried the latest firmware (173/49) and drivers (1.5.0) from tascam.de but i cannot get it to reliably talk with logic 7.1.1. Will logic 7.2 solve this problem? The Logic 7.2 addendum document ("new features in logic pro 7.2") does not specifically mention the FW-1884.
Also- when i have the FW-1884 connected to my G4 desktop, it triggers the "1884 Manager" application to launch-switching it to the midi programming tab. It repeatedly does this. Perhaps this unit is a dud?
I previously had the FW-1884 working nicely with logic 6.x without problem so i am surprised to be now having these problems.

Hav you installed the "Logic OSX Control Surface V1.10 " plugin? It is available at
http://www.tascam.com/Products/FW1884_downloads.html
It allows the fw 1884 to be used with logic platinum 6 or newer.
worth a try

Logic Pro 7.2 and Tascam FW-1884 Not Working

I recently upgraded to Logic Pro 7.2 and I'm using a Tascam FW-1884 as my audio interface / Control Surface. Everything was working fine in 7.1.1, but now it doesn't work correctly. When I press buttons and faders on the Tascam I see MIDI information changing in Logic, but not in any of the correct places. When I click on the screen controls in Logic the Tascam does reflect the same on the board, but not the other way around? I updates the Tascam Plug-In (.bundle) file, the Control Panel, and even the Firmware. Still does not work. The faders go up on boot-up and down when I quit the program, but that is it. Any help would be greatly appreciated? I'm using a Mac G5, dual 2.7ghz processors, and 2.5 gigs in RAM. My gut is telling me it's something with the upgrade, but maybe others have resolved the problem without reprogramming every control one by one.

Mr. Walden,
I recently switched to Macintosh and am learning to use Garage Band. I have an 1884, as do you, and I plan to invest in Logic Express. Do you have any comments or suggestions concerning the marriage between Logic and the 1884?

Logic Express 9 running with Tascam US-122 - possible?

Hello,
I've been scouring support forums and the Logic user manual all day and unfortunately cannot seem to find an answer to this:
Is it at all possible to run Logic Express 9 with the Tascam US-122?
I've just converted from PC to Mac in the last couple of weeks: all of my software and drivers are all up-to-date so that should not be an issue. Obviously that means that I've previously been using my Tascam with Cubase on the PC, and I was really hoping it would cope with Logic too. The problem is that Logic does recognize the Tascam but when it comes to recording, I can't get it to work. Apparently it's something to do with the sample rate?
Please help - if it can be avoided, I don't want to have to buy another device. Any advice or answers would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

It sounds like you have the same setup as us.
I (oops, wife) has a brand new iMac, a Tascam US-122L and a Yamaha KX8 controller. She started with GarageBand, then bought Logic Express 9 and just yesterday we ordered the upgrade to Logic Studio.
Like any new computer setup of course nothing worked right away.
She plugs her guitar into the Tascam but it didn't work until we changed to Input 2 in Logic (or was it GarageBand, sorry I am getting them confused).
Anyway, my point is that you should not need any more hardware to make it work. We have yet to plug a mike into the Tascam...that will be the fun for the weekend....lol
Good luck,
Paul

Will the Tascam FW-1884 work with Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I notice that the new Logic is 64 bit only and yet the Tascam FW-1884 is specifically listed as a supported control surface.
Tascam has not released 64 bit drivers for this device! Can anyone shed any light on this? Will it work only as a control surface and not an audio interface? Is the documentation in error? Anyone have this working with Logic Pro X?
Thanks,
Lyford Rome

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

Logic & Tascam FW-1884

Hi all. Does anyone know why some of the key combinations described by Apple in the Logic Express Control Surfaces document do not work?
Specifically, Apple clearly states that SET + IN on the FW-1884 sets the IN point. This doesn't work.
Off the top of my head, CLR SOLO & ALL SAFE don't work either.
Why is that so? Which FW-1884 unit did they have when they wrote this?
Thanks.

OK, but how can you do that when, for example, "ALL SAFE" or "CLR SOLO" can't be found in the Key Commands window (through search)? Also, Logic recognizes a button press as "FW-1884: CLR SOLO" but not Shift+CLR SOLO (they are interpreted as SysEx messages)? The weird part is that Logic's presets for the FW1884 do recognizes SHIFTs and ALTs (those which are built in).
Thanks.

Tascam FW-1884/Maverick

Apple has stated that the Tascam FW-1884 will work with Maverick. Has anyone had any sucess?

Hey there jcb7r,
thanks for the infos, I forgot to mention that I'm using one of iMac's latest version, I won't be able to follow the FW bus route (unintentional pun) unless there are stand alone FW buses to connect to the iMac, which I doubt (or I'm not able to find)............regarding Tascam drivers, dodgy as they were (are) I never had problems using the FW 1884 with my old iMac/Snow Leopard/Logic Pro 9, besides, it was a pretty stable setup; mind you, I just felt the need to upgrade the whole lot........which I don't regret but for the Tascam (that ultimately has clean and transparent preamps with good headroom).
Anyway, the FW 1884 is still listed in Logic X controllers but seems to be an Apple print mistake; and since we're on the official Apple Communities Forum I wonder why no rep is chiming in on the subject (which is not just mine or yours).
Tascam (or Frontier) is on another boat altogether, fair enough they stop producing and deem "obsolete" one of their products, but the FW 1884 is at least a semi-pro machine, lettin' it go without support (Mac) doesn't seem a very "pro" move, nor a customer caring one.......sorry for ranting.....
Back on topic, I want to believe there must be a way to sort things out other than being forced to stay behind or boot one's system @ 32bit (an option that's no more available on newest machines/systems); I'd just love being able to use it at least as a controller while taking advantage of 64bit structure and ram addressing; really crossing my fingers here, even though I suspect I'd have to resign sooner than later.
I'm willing to have another go at it, I search the net every now and then to see if somebody's has come up with a solution; I'll report whatever positives should I encounter.
Please be so kind to reply on this forum once you've taken the Mavericks step.
Have a nice day

Tascam FW 1884 solution...

Hi guys, this may or may not help for those of you with issues with the Tascam FW1884 Mixing desk/control surface/audio interface.
I use mine for my live stage show, so I need it to be as reliable as possible.
I went down the whole route under 10.4 of 'downgrading' my firewire (as it said to on the Tascam Website) and all that nonsense... but under leopard it seems to switch on and connect 90% of the time.
There is still the issue under Logic 8 of the bank lights not working correctly (only bank 1 led ever shows) but I read in the 1.6.0 tascam Mac OSx driver that this will be fixed in a later version.
The problems I was having with the desk this time around was when switching back from editing an EXs intrument or Midi in the piano roll to the main arrange window, the play light would stop working, the mute led's wouldn't light up, and bizarrly the audio meter levels in logic itself failed to register noise, eventhough the track played correctly. I've still no idea what this is, or what causes it, but low and behold it started doing it when the desk wasn't even plugged in!
My all time problem however, has been when changing one of the rotary encoders to change an effect, instead of pan, Logic suddenly groups banks in tracks numbering 9 or 10, instead of 8. Which means when you switch banks on the desk, you get tracks 1 - 8 on the first bank, and then something like tracks 11 - 18 on the second bank, and you can't actually access tracks 9 and 10 on the desk at all!
Well yesterday I stumbled on a solution to this...
Basically, I went to preferences, control surface, setup, and actually went to add a new Tascam FW1884. Logic added a new interface, Tascam FW1884 #2 alongside the original image. I then clicked across frmo one to the other and tried to look for differences, but couldn't find any.
I then deleted the new #2 I'd created, and low and behold, the original went back to fader banks of 8, and all my encoders still functioned the way I'd set them up!
So hope this helps with similar problems, I've no idea why it worked, maybe it just made the driver refresh or something.
Let me know if you have similar problems...
Cheers
Jellybass

ALSO...
Once you've configured the tascam desk the way you wanted, you can actually go to Users/Library/Preferences/ and there is a Logic Control Surface preferances file, which has all the data of your surface.
Just back this up, then whenever your surface resets itself (i.e. if Logic crashes) you just drop this file back in the Preferences folder, and everythings back to the way you want it.
Brilliant.

Final Cut Pro and Tascam FW-1884

I trying to configure the Tascam FW-1884 to work with Final Cut. Currently I can get the faders and pan controls to work by selecting:
Control Surface Type: Mackie Control
Input Connection: Tascam FW-1884 Control Port
Output Connection: Tascam FW-1884 Control Port
The control surface is connect via firewire, I'm not using any additional MIDI connections in or out of the computer.
I would like to be able to access more of the buttons and features of the control surface from within FCP. What is the correct way to configure the two. Is levels and pan the only functions that will work with FCP?
Any help is great appriciated. I've searched online and cannot find any documentation on this topic.
thanks,
dk.

Just talked with apple support again. It seem the functionality I am getting is all that is available at this time. I was just expecting to be able to do more by assigning buttons for short cuts and having eq control etc. Maybe there is a third party plug in to expand FCP's control surface abilities or apple will include greater support on a future version.
Let me know if anyone has additional advise or knowledge on the subject.
thanks,
dk.

Logic for correcting strings with different barckets

can any one tell me the simple logic for correcting strings with different barckets
suppose say for eg.
(<{abc}>defgh) should evaluate to TRUE
(<{abc>} should evaluate to FALSE
Things to check is
1. number of opening brace and closing brace
2. Their position are correct or not
If the above two conditions are met than it is TRUE else FALSE
i guess string function with decode and lenght function or case should do but bit difficult to develop this logic in with sql
Thanks,

Logic 9.0.2 with SL wont start!!

Please help, I just installed snow leopard ran the updates which downloaded Logic 9.0.2.
Now when I start logic the splash screen comes up, it starts loading but then freezes at "Initializing Loop Browser"
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Simon
I had a similar problem - but Logic stalled on "Initializing Loop Browser" for about 20 seconds.
Here's a possibe solution - IF you've got a backup of Logic 9.0.0 (e.g. on Time Machine).
I found this solution from Alex on the this forum:
http://community.vsl.co.at/forums/t/22725.aspx?PageIndex=2
Ok here we go I've found an alterntive solution to the "Loop Browser" problem.
If you have a Time Machine Backup of the Program Folder with Logic 9.0.0 or any Logic 9.0.0 flying around that should work:
1) Open Logic 9.0.0 with ctrl+Mousclick, show packages and go to
contents/Frameworks/LogicLoopBrowser.framework/Versiones/A and copy that File "LogicLoopBrowser" to the desktop
2) Open Logic 9.0.2 (the updated version)and go to the same place
contents/Frameworks/LogicLoopBrowser.framework/Versiones/A
3) Replace the file "LogicLoopBrowser" of Logic 9.0.2 with the older "LoopBrowser" file from Logic 9.0.0 you copied to the desktop
Its not necesary to copy the file to the desktop of course. I only put that additional step in between in order to make the instruction better understandable. The point is to replace the new corrupted Logic 9.0.2 Loop Browser File with a working one from the old version. After that Logic 9.0.2 starts quickly again. I hope this is without any side effects (-;
cheers,
Alex
One problem - I couldn't Show Package Contents in Time Machine - I had to right click on the Logic application and restore it to my desktop - then I could Show Package Contents.

Logic Express not syncing with phonics firewire board via audio midi

I am unable to get my logic express to sync with the phonics helix firewire board. the phonics board is recognized by the midi audio set up, but only sometimes.
I have tried adjusting the sample rate in logic and in audio midi and I have tried switching the clock source from mac to device as well as changing the firewire chord.
I am unable to get sound through the board to the computer or from the computer through the board.
I am also receiving error messages regarding the programs reading of the sample rate.
Please help.
Thank you

I received an excellent pointer over on the Mackie support forum, and that was to set up an Aggregate Device in the OS X Audio Midi Setup utility.
That worked great, and now I have analog input to my 400F, and output/monitoring on my Mac's Built-in Line Out/speakers.

How can I use JTA in my business logic and execute process with PAPI?

HI All,
How can I use JTA in my business logic and execute process with PAPI?
When my business logic has exception, the process will rollback.
or the process has some exceptions, my business logic also will rollback.
I don't know how to do it.
Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you for your reply, Daniel.
But I think I did not express my mind clearly.
There is a scene that I have 2 Application Server.
My business code is deployed in one Server.
The BPM is deployed in another Server.
I want to execute Task use PAPI.(ProcessServiceSession.runActivity)
In my business code, I will do something before execute Task.
I need my business logic and Task in same transaction.
To ensure them "all-or-nothing" .
As you say, if The transactions are managed by Oracle BPM.
then can I retrieve OBPM transcaction in my business code?

At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version
