Logic Control button to engage follow in arrange window.

Hello
Is there a way to engage the follow function in the arrange window off of a logic control unit?
Regards
Krzysztof

Hi,
In the Control Surface setup window of preferences you can check a box that allows, or causes, Logic's arrange screen to follow the control surface view. I think this makes more sense than the other way around since the whole point of the LC unit is to have your hands on it rather than the mouse. Hope this helps.

Control key pop-up menu in arrange window

Argh. I would give a million dollars to get rid of the menu that pops up when you hit the control key in the arrange window. Every time I try to finely adjust the beginning or end of a region, that menu pops up.
It doesn't happen if you grab the region, THEN hit it, but I've been hitting the CONTROL key first for about ten years now, so it's not an easy habit to break. If anyone in Apple land is listening, please oh please give an option to disable the pop menu... pleeeze, it's killing me!!!

How to find a region in the Arrange Window

I'm trying to find two audio files that are apparently in regions in my arrange window on Logic 9. I can see them in my Audio Bin but I have no idea where to find them in my Arrange Window. I don't know if they're wedged in between or underneath a hundreds of other regions (yes I have that many regions).
Is there a method or shortkey I can use to find these specific regions? You know...like a "control F" for regions in the Arrange Window? Ideally I want to get rid of these files but I don't want to have any "ghost regions" that might complicate things. I just like to have everything nice and clean.
Thanks for any help.
p.s. In case someone asks these questions I already have answers:
Q1: Why can't you just find the regions you're looking for manually?
A1: Because I have too many regions in my Arrange Window.
Q2: Why do you have so many regions?
A2: Because that's how I work. The number of regions I have shouldn't be related to the efficiency of looking for specific regions.

You could check if the regions may exist inside a take folder, a normal folder, or press H to see if you have any hidden tracks.
But if you are brave enough to try to soft-delete all the other regions from the Bin, it should be easy to find the two remaing ones in the Arrange window, unless you also have a lot of MIDI regions. What happens if you select all the regions in the Audio Bin (Command-A), Shift-click on the two regions you talk about to deselect them, and then (temp.) delete all the regions in the bin? You can Undo this afterwards, but NB: remember to select "Keep" (and "for all") if you are asked whether you also want to delete the recordings from the hard disc itself.
"Zoom To Selection": select a region (not a file) in the Bin, activate Arrange (eg by pressing tab one of more times until Arrange has a white-ish frame), and then press Z on your keyboard. This will zoom in on the selected region, another Z will show the whole arrangement again.
"Play from Selection": press Shift and Enter.

Where is the button to transfer sequences to the arrange window in Logic Pro 7's Ultrabeat?

Hi guys/gals,
I have a pretty old version of Logic, it's Pro 7. Anyway, I mess around with it from time to time and I am currently trying to program some drums using Ultrabeat, which, to be honest, I have totally ignored in the past.
I have created a sequence and I now want to place it into the arrange window, but cannot find the button which, from everywhere I have searched, should be in the bottom left of the plug in, near the pattern selector drop down. I have taken a screenshot of how my Ultrabeat looks. If you can find this mysterious button then please let me know, as it is driving me nuts! I simply cannot find it anywhere.
Thanks for your time.

Logic Control & "Global View"

Hi,
When switching Global View on a Logic Control unit, say from Audio Tracks to Audio Instruments, the LCD always jumps to the highest instrument or track available. For example, I might be using 8 of 24 available audio tracks and five of 64 available audio instruments. When I switch views the LCD will show either instrument 64 on the left, or audio track 24. I then must either select an instrument via mouse on the arrange page or scroll back via the bank buttons on the LC to have, say, audio instrument 1 visible. Why? Any fix out there?
Along the same line, an improvement in the Logic Control interface would be intelligent switching between views on the LCD. For example, if an audio track is selected via mouse on the arrange page, the LC view would jump to that "type" of view even if the global view selected (on the LC) was "Outputs" or "Midi Tracks".
Cheers,
RW

On my system (with Logic Control) each Global page remembers where it last was. If I was looking at busses 9-16 last time I was on the Global bus mode, that is where I return to next time I engage busses in Global mode.
I like the fact that the LC does not switch to another object type when in Global mode. I use this to use the faders for busses while looking at tracks.
I do wish that tracks which are hidden in the arrange (and track mixer) would also be hidden on the LC when not in Global mode. This would allow global mode to show any object regardless of hidden state or use in the Arrange, and Global off to reflect the track status of the Arrange page.

Keystation Pro 88 (or other controller) as the Logic Control

Has anybody got their setup like this? I've been trying to get this to work for the past 6 hours and no luck. Can someone please help me? Just bought Studio 2 days ago and haven't touched it yet cuz I can't get the keyboard to fully work.

Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 12:03 am Post subject: Keystation Pro 88 (or other controller) as the Logic Control
I'm sure some of you already know how to do this. I just figured I'd write this up at some point to share with others. The basic idea is to use the Keystaion Pro 88 (or some other MIDI Controller) as an actual Control Surface, or in this case the Logic Control, to have more freedom with the MIDI Controller, i.e. using the group of 8 faders (on the Keystation) to control Volume for tracks 1-8 in the arrange window, and then hitting Bank Right to automatically control tracks 9-16, and as a result making a universal controller not bound by specific channel messages, or MIDI CC Volume messages etc... in short the essence of any Control Surface.
What I'm describing below is what this app will also do: http://www.opuslocus.com/lcxmu/index.php
I basically just wanted to avoid using a separate application all together. Keep in mind that the app does simplify the whole process, but Logic inherently can do pretty much everything the app does.
I recommend reading this in its entirety before attempting.
KeyStation Pro 88 as Logic Control
Part One: Add Logic Control as Control Surface
1. Open Logic.
2. Preferences / Control Surfaces / Setup...
3. New / Install / Select your preferred device (in my case Logic Control
4. Click the icon in the setup window for the Logic Control.
5. On the left hand side under "Logic Control" you should see an "Out Port:" and "Input:" ... select the desired MIDI in/out through which your device is connected.
6. Open Preferences / Control Surfaces / Controller Assignments. Make sure you select the "EXPERT VIEW" check box.
7. You should now see a bunch of different Zones in the Zone column, one of which is "Control Surface: Logic Control"
8. Create your own Zone, KeyStation Pro 88 (or whatever) using the Plus sign in the bottom left corner of the Controller Assignments window.
9. Now basically go through the existing parameters already available in the Logic Control Zones, Select what you want. You can select entire Modes or individual Controls / Parameters. You can select multiple values (only multiple Control / Parameters NOT modes) by selecting and dragging or simply with select and holding command.
10. Command-C the selected Modes and then click back onto you user zone that you created above.
11. Click inside the Mode column (or Control / Parameter column depending upon what you selected and copied from the Logic Control zones).
12. Command-V to paste the Modes into your user Zone.
13. Do this for as many Modes / Controls you want, that your specific MIDI controller interface will be able to handle.
Part Two: Assigning Input Values
1. Open Preferences / Control Surfaces / Controller Assignments
2. Now for each parameter that you copied, you will need to set the input MIDI value from your controller.
3. Click on your User Zone, then Mode, then the first parameter in the 3rd column.
4. You should see a "MIDI Input" option (this should already be set correctly as long as you set it earlier in Step 5 of Part One). If it's not set to the correct MIDI input (which I found to be the case sometimes even after Step 5), then change that here.
5. Next to "Value Change:" you will see a box with MIDI data in it. Delete the existing date by highlight and delete.
6. Activate "Learn Mode" (bottom right corner of Controller Assignments window) then click within the "Value Change" box, then move the corresponding fader, button etc. The "Value Change" should now show the MIDI data value for that fader. Be careful here, there should only be 3 groups of 2 for data here... if you see 2 groups, of 3 groups, of 2 then typically the FIRST group of 3 should be the value you want here. You can always delete the data, and move the fader again to be sure. The reason for the 2 groups of 3 is not in error: some buttons send TWO MIDI values, one on press and one on release. You can use this to your advantage and assign TWO different functions to these buttons, thus the first (press hold) value can do one thing and the second (release) value can do another. You can also change the MIDI controller to only send 1 message on press and nothing on release, or simply make sure that only the on value is present in the "Value Change" box.
7. You'll have to do this for all the different knobs / faders etc. on your MIDI controller. There are many shortcuts of course. You can manually type in the Values if you know them. For the Keystation Pro, M-Audio has an app called Enigma that I recommend for changing controller parameters and much more on the Keystation. You can use this app to assign all the actual control data that each button or fader sends to the sequencer, once you know the values you can convert that data to the MIDI data values and enter them into the Value Change box.
8. Once you're done assigning values to the controllers, you can delete all the Zones except for the user Zone you created earlier. Before you do this, it's a good idea to back up the Control Surface preference file just in case you ever want to grab something else from the Logic Control Zones. You could always add a second Logic Control and copy the Zone from that, but you'd have to reassign all the MIDI Input: values ... short version, just back up the preference file before you delete the Zones. The reason why you want to delete the Zones that you're not using is simply because if you have a controller that happens to send out MIDI data to the sequencer, and the actual Logic Control happens to have that MIDI data value already inherent it it's Zones, then you could be asking for trouble, simply put you'd be sending MIDI data to change Volume and the Logic Control maybe has that MIDI Data Value already assigned to Pan for the existing track.
The file to backup is located here: ~Users/username/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.cs
As a precaution I have always backed up my Logic Preference file WITH this .cs file. Technically it's not necessary... for instance: Let's say you trash your preferences and open Logic to find that the Logic Control is missing from the Control Surfaces Setup. So you add it back and now you find out that Logic is missing the User Zone that you created. If you close Logic and copy the .cs file back to the directory above, then upon reopening Logic you should find your User Zone is in place again. But I've had mixed results with that, so just in case I copy over the preference file with the .cs file as a pair. It seems that the Logic pref file only contains information that the Logic Control is a Control Surface on your system and the .cs file is the preferences for that specific Surface.
Another note: after a recent Logic update, maybe 7.2? ... it was whichever update added support for more Control Surfaces, I can't remember. This update basically erased all the hours of hard work linking the Keystation to Logic as the Logic Control. This only happened with this specific Control Surface update, but not with 7.2.3, probably simply because they didn't make any changes to the .cs pref file.
Anyhow, when this happens again in the future, there seems to be a quick fix. I take NO responsibility for you somehow crashing Logic on a continual basis after applying the fix. Personally I have seen NO issues by doing this at all. I simply copied a version of the .cs file with the new update missing the Keystation Zone, as well as a version of the .cs file WITH the Keystation Zone, to a PC (I think it was a PC, don't believe I tried it with textedit, although should work as well). I opened both of the files in notepad and compared them. I noticed the word Keystation towards the bottom and realized that most all the data (gibberish) was exactly the same up until a point in which the file with the Keystation data had a group that was absent from the new .cs pref file from the new update. So I basically copied the data from the old .cs pref file, pasted it into the new .cs pref file, saved it and open Logic. Logic warned me that a pref file was corrupt or something of that nature, but loaded fine anyway, and the Keystation Zone was back in Controller Assignments.
One last thing... the problem that some of you may run into is that by making your MIDI controller a Control Surface, or turning your Keystation Pro into a Logic Control, limits some of the functionality of the MIDI Controller. For instance, a Logic Control's main purpose is to control different faders, knobs and what not of MANY different tracks. When you move a fader for volume on the Logic control, it will move the fader corresponding to the selected track... it's not programed to say change the actual midi CC 7 for Volume, only the actual Fader. Thus, what if you want the MOD wheel to still control modulation and you want the sustatin pedal to continue to act as a sustain pedal. Well, if Logic sees that Port 1 is the input for the Logic Control, but in reality the Keystation, then it's only going to allow specific events through. The way around this issue is by using both the input options that the Keystation has... hook the MIDI out into Logic and use the USB port as well. I run the Keystation as a Logic Control through the USB port, and use the MIDI out for actual MIDI data. But the catch is you have to make sure you only connect the MIDI Port into Logic's sequencer in the environment. Thus open the environment, open Clicks & Ports, Port 1 and Port 2 are the IN/OUT for the USB port. Midi Port is the Keystation's MIDI port. Select and delete the cable for the SUM, and run individual cables for the ports you want to use. Thus, all your other MIDI interface Ports, the Caps Lock keyboard etc. Just be sure that if your using Port 1 (USB Port Out from Keystation) for the fake Logic Control, that it DOES NOT cable into the "Input View" or "to Recording & Thru". This creates yet another issue:
The controls on the Keystation have to send SOME form of MIDI control message / data to Logic. Well if the faders on the Keystation are preset to send Ch1-9, Volume 0-127 messages, then when you move a fader on the Keystation (as the Logic Control) since the Keystation is still reaching the sequencer from the MIDI port, you will be sending MIDI values that can effect your current track possibly when you don't want to. The work around for this is to be sure that all the faders / knobs that you want to use as your fake Logic Control are sending useless MIDI data... i.e. CC 75, 76, 77, and so on. This way moving faders won't effect playback, although you could still in theory record this MIDI data into your sequencer. You could however filter this events from entering the sequencer input with a transformer since you know precisely what MIDI CC values you are changing. The easy way to assign these values is to use the program Enigma from M-Audio that I mentioned above.
More discussion specifically related to the Keystation Pro 88:
You can do a lot using the Controller Assignments and different Zones from the Logic Control. For instance, the real Logic Control has Solo, Mute, and Record buttons for the 8 faders. The Keystation Pro only has 1 button underneath each fader. But you could use one of the other buttons to toggle Solo, Mute, and Record mode so that depending on which mode your in, the buttons underneath each fader will correspond to Mute or Solo etc. By the way, a good setup from my experience is to use the first 8 faders of the Keystation as the track faders, and the final 9th fader for Master Volume. You can then set two of the buttons underneath the Knobs as Bank Left and Bank Right buttons to change the 8 fader tracks to correspond to the onscreen track groups of 8. Also don't forget that you can assign TWO functions to EACH button, since a button press can send a value of 127 and a button release can send a 00 value. So if you press and hold a button it can activate "Shift-select Mode" and until released it can make the buttons under the faders act as Volume to Zero resets or whatever you want. When you release the button it will go back to just Mute mode or Solo mode. The Controller Assignments window has MANY options, and parameters some of which are very confusing and take a lot of trial and error to understand... the manual helps a little but of course isn't perfect.

I'm thinking about buying a Keystation Pro 88 (2nd hand) so I was googling around and found this:

I had some trouble getting the transport controls to work with Emagic's Logic, even when I loaded the 'Pro 88 Logic Preset.LSO' file on the supplied CD-ROM into Logic. I contacted the guys who designed and set up the Keystation here in the UK at the old Evolution offices, and between us we managed to work out what was going wrong. First of all, you need to enter the appropriate MIDI key commands in Logic's user preferences. These cannot be updated with an LSO file, so the commands have to be entered using the Learn Key function in Logic (see the screenshot below for the list we used). Then we discovered that the transport keys were toggling, which meant that only each second press of each key was actually working. It turned out that I had an early version of the Logic preset before this had been fixed, but the more recent one has been put on the M Audio web site for anyone else that needs it. It took about 30 seconds to change the output commands so that the buttons were no longer toggling.[/quote]
Did you get it to work correctly eventually?

BCF2000 - assigning within Logic Control Mode

I am using a Behringer BCF2000 with Logic 7 Pro on a G4 powerbook. My BCF2000 is working fine in Logic Control Mode (USB Mode U-3), what I would like to do is add a few of my own parameters, mainly logic's tape delay feedback (as I make dub) to one of the dials, for example.
Also I would love to be able to trigger a few sound effects (maybe an exs patch) using an assigned button, for those on-the-fly dub vibes.
I sussed the patch editing and storing in the normal factory mode, but in Logic control mode, I can't seem to create my own patches and store them. Is this possible? and if so, how can I "learn" the functions like tape delay feedback.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

I have not been able to program mine in LC emulation
though I have been able to program the other presets.
Something I have not tried yet is trying to program the
many parameters in the controller assignments window.
I have discovered that by having the BCF in LCmode
going to the Controller Assignments window and
selecting expert and follow then clicking on
the different modes and such that the BCF
responds to what you are choosing on the screen.
I have not had the time yet to confirm this but
I believe the BCF is already preprogrammed to
do many of these in LC emulation. For example when I choose
track on screen the BCF would change its display
to "tr" and so on. This is a big discovery for me since
I new that in LCemulation the Unit was capable of
accessing all or most of what a Mackie Logic Control
unit could. I could never figure out how to get to those
parameters. This is one way to figure it out I suppose.
Behringer suggests that you read the docs for the Mackie,
I have not found this to be too helpful yet. Hope this helps.

Logic Control Working Properly anyone?

My logic control has not been working properly for a while.
It does most things fine but it does not do the following:
1. The Automation buttons don't do as they are supposed to; Pressing Latch, Touch or Write just enables READ mode.
2. Pressing the Down Arrow button Enables Send #8- It's supposed to scroll through the sends 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
3. The Rotary pots for Send/Pan when turned send the Send/Pan paremeter to either 0 or 127!!
That's most of the problems. There may be more but I would really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
Felix

If you are working in 64 bit mode, i think i can help, as i had the exact same issue.
1. Quit Logic
2. Trash the Control Surface Pref file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs"
3. Go to The Logic application - go Command-I to open up its information pane. Click the button to open Logic in 32-bit mode.
4. Open any Logic file.
5. Confirm that your automation buttons now work correctly
6. Quit Logic.
7. Go back to the information pane. De-click the 32-bit button
8. Re-opn Logic in 64 bit mode. You should be all fixed.

Logic Control Track Lock

I do not want the Logic control to follow selections in the arrange when I select tracks in Logic. The manual says that if I turn Track Lock on, then track selections in logic will not effect the logic control, but it makes no difference when I turn it on. Is this a bug or am I missing something. I have 3 xts and I want them all to never change fader groups.

But LC does not relate to the Environment audio mixer, it relates to the Track Mixer. If you want your audio mixer in the environment to relate to LC, you''ll have to arrange the objects to match the track mixer.
BTW an easy way to make sure the track order matches the order in your environment is, when you set up the song, select and drag all the audio objects in the environment into the tracklist. (drop them on Track 1)
Generally this is only a good idea at the start, before you have any regions in place in the arrange tracks, as, if you do it when you have content, the audio in the tracks will be assigned to different audio objects to what they were originally. (Although, you can get around this, by cutting all the track content then changing the order, as I described, then doing: 'paste at original position' and select 'keep Inst.' in the dialog which follows.)

My screen brightness control buttons don't work windows 8

my screen brightness control buttons don't work?
the light in the mute button is always on when NOT on mute?
Have set up Win8 3 TIMES but get always same bug agan
Hope someone can help

Hello smarisig. I understand you are not able to control screen brightness from the keyboard on Windows 8. By chance, did you upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7? I have located an online forum that contains troubleshooting on this issue: http://thedailybuggle.com/forum/unable-control-screen-brightness-windows-8-a-200.html
The person who posted the issue on this forum had upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and then this issue occurred. That is the reason I asked if this Windows 8 was upgraded. Regardless, follow the troubleshooting presented and it could resolve the issue for you. If not, let me know and I will continue to research the issue in the meantime. I'm only here to help!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

Message control buttons in Japaneese

My galaxy s5 messaging buttons are in Japaneese. I can sent messages in english but all the control buttons - such as the send button - are all in japaneese. it is driving me crazy.....anyone have any ideas. I have looked at my setting and all of them seem to have english as the default language.

thacky710,
Oh my! I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's important to have the correct language for your phone and this is certainly odd. Let's go to Settings>Language & Input>Language should be set to English. Then, scroll to the keyboard sectiona and tap on the gear icon. In each one, switch the "Input Language" to English and delete any other options you see there.
