Logic - Control Surfaces

I'm trying to integrate a Mackie HUI controller (older version with the emagic logic template) and in the main Logic manual there's reference to a separate "control surface" manual that supposedly came with the box. I don't recall ever seeing this supplemental manual in my Logic Studio Box and if it was there, it isn't now. Does anybody know where you might be able to get a hold of this or download it electronically?
I really want to figure out how to get my control surface on line and working. The Mackie manual is two paragraphs about plugging the unit in, but offers no guidance whatsoever on how to use it....so not much help there.
thanks

For first
is Mackie baby HUI connected with nidi cables?
drivers?
open AUDIO MIDI set up Utility and check if the system recognize your MIDI controller device...
If BabyHUI is in the system... Logic pro would automatically recognize the interface...
if not... try to open Control surface set up in Logic and add manually BabyHUI... but the Mackie must be shown in the audio midi setup

  • Logic 9 and Logic Control Surface

    I recently received a Behringer BCF2000 as a gift and have successfully set it up in LC (Logic Control) mode. I'm having an odd problem, however, as the control surface only is receiving from Logic and changes on the BCF2000 are not reflecting in logic. When I change sliders/pan positions/etc in Logic, the BCF2000 reflects these changes. However, pressing buttons on the BCF2000 is unresponsive and if I move a slider, the motorized fader will return to the position as set in Logic.
    I have been scouring the manuals for a solution, I'm sure it's something simple but I'm getting very frustrated. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!

    Indeed.
    Remove the control surface driver, and use LC Xmu instead. It's the absolute best way to use the Korg controllers with Logic, and has just about every feature you want/need.

  • LP8 Crash - Lost control surfaces

    Hi,
    Last night while editing some music LP8 crashed. I restarted it and continued to work but noticed that my two control surfaces were no longer defined including the special keys I had defined for transport control.
    Is there anyway to restore my settings without having to go through the setup again? After I get them working again is there anyway to save the settings in case of another crash? I've lost this stuff several times now.

    you need to use Logic control surface setting
    wait...
    I need a moment for the pictures
    about axiom is not fully supported... as you know it comes from M-Audio
    some bug could be force you to don't use it!
    maybe Logic Crash comes directly from M-audio Axiom 61 keyboard...
    *as you can see I have Logic control... but it is BCF-2000!!*
    *it is recognized automatically*
    *works without any crash!!!*

  • Logic Control difficulties with 8.0.2 anyone?

    Hello to all
    Just a quick check to see if anyone else is having problems with the Logic Control surface and the 8.0.2 update. To date the zoom function and the fast forward/reverse buttons are not working on my system, which is a G5 Dual 2ghz Tiger 10.4.11. Also, the undo button doesn't undo and the assignment buttons don't assign.
    Regards

    [edit]
    still doesn't work at all... though I can 'solo' the AUXes... just not select them.
    If I try to select them and add an EQ (EQ+Vpot8), it adds an eq to the channel that has the visual select light lit!

  • Logic Control W/ LP8

    Any one have issues with a Logic Control surface with the new LP8?

    There have been a few issues since version 8, some of which have been rectified with the 8.0.2 update.
    Some that remain are;
    • Save LED doesn't go out after save
    • Some on screen alerts cannot be responded to via the controller
    There are a few others but overall it is working well for most people.
    Make sure you don't have a corrupt preference file for the control surfaces. In my experience, this preference file is even more sensitive than the main logic preference file. Ditch it and rebuild.. It's a pain if you have many custom features set up, but is necessary to get things going again.
    Once you have a set of logic preferences that are working well, copy the two files to the desktop and select them both, then right click and create archive... Then you'll have a pair of 'good' files that you can drop into the prefs folder when things go crazy again.
    After a crash, you will want to drop the fresh ones in there.... as a crash always seems to corrupt the prefs files in my experience.

  • Random sound generated from external midi device even without a song opened... How to uninstall external control surfaces?

    Recently bought systems used :
         Roland FA-08 workstation
         Mixingtable with USB connection Yamaha MG12XU
         Mac Os X 10.9.4 Maverick with Logic Pro X 10.0.7
    for each system the latest usb-drivers are installed
    Problem :
    I get random noises generated (non-stop) from the connected synthesizer FA08 starting up Logic, even without a song opened.
    (My midi local is switched of, that's not the solution)
    The problem started (i think) installing the Mackie control for the DAW use as was suggested by the Roland manual
    in Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > setup...
    Other than my remote control i now have Mackie controllers that i can not remove from the setup. Right click says 'delete' but
    they are not deleted, the program even crashed once. Reinstalling Logic does not remove them either.
    I read somewhere that there should be a 'controller rebuild'-command but that doesn't seem to exist.
    And i have no idea why in the 'inspector', the host of the Mackie Control seems to be my I-pad (?)
    I suspect that te problem is either some midi/usb driver conflict when used with Mavericks
    or te use of the mackie controller conflicting with
    the audio-bord of the yamaha mixing console MG 12XU (which seems to be working fine) or with the DAW controller of the FA 08
    Audio/Midi setup of my computer seems to be installed correctly.
    How can i uninstall this controller settings ?
    Anyone has an idea why i get random noise generated?
    Anyhow, it is impossible working with Logic this way..
    Please help..

    In case you need to get back the default Logic control surface setup you can delete the Control Surface preference file and the default file will be rebuilt. It's a good way to get back to Logic's initial control surface setting. Also, if you had chosen to edit the Logic Remote CS entry instead of remove it there are adjustments that can be made, like disabling Active Sensing, or even disabling "Flash Mute and Solo Buttons" on the basic Control Surface Preferences pane.
    Deleting the Logic 10 Control Surface Prefs.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    Note: to get to the User-Library the tilde ~ has to be included.        ~/Library/Preferences

  • Logic Pro X inaccessible after waking from sleep when using an MCU Control Surface

    I'm having a problem I cannot seem to get around without force quitting Logic every time.  If I have a Control Surface setup as a Mackie Control (v1.0); and if the computer goes to sleep, and then i turn off the controller while the computer is asleep (for any reason), and then wake the computer without turning on the controller first, Logic becomes completely unusable and must be force quit.
    My controller in this example is Solid State Logic's Nucleus controller, however it happens with other Mackie Control compatible controllers (i have another one i tested against), BUT not a real Mackie Controller sold by Mackie (i tested with that as well); more details below.
    For the SSL controller, Logic automatically sets it up like this:
    Now if the computer goes to sleep, and i wake it up, i get the following dialog, which is fine:
    After clicking on "Continue" button or hitting the enter key, Logic is rendered useless, as if there is a modal dialog still open somewhere.  Clicking anywhere on the gui results in white flashes and nothing else.  doing cmd+Q to quit actually makes it try to quit (a save dialog appears), but it never does successfully quit, making me resort to force-quitting.  For an example, here's a pic of the file menu at this point:
    I also have a regular Mackie Control Unit (MCU Pro) and the strange thing is with that unit, everything works fine after sleep, turning off controller, and re-awakening.  However, there is a difference in what kind of dialog is displayed after the sleep, which probably has something to do with this issue.
    Here is the setup screen of the MCU Pro:
    And here is the dialog for the missing ports after waking from sleep:
    This dialog is completely different than the other control surface's missing ports dialog.  When clicking on "Keep unassigned" here, Logic resumes working fine.
    The project is as minimal as possible; nothing is loaded, all that's there is an empty instrument track and a Control Surface configured.
    I'm using a Mac Mini (late 2012)
    Processor  2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    with Logic Pro X 10.0.7
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Did you ever figure out a solution to this problem?
    I just pulled out my original Emagic Logic Control (MIDI) and I have having the same problem.

  • Using Logic Pro 9 and Tascam DM-4800.  Can't get the Tascam to work as a control surface via firewire...   any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!

    The DM-4800 and Logic see each other, the firewire shows as 'locked' on both.   Can pass audio back and fourth, no automation from the Tascam though.   I know its either a midi setting or control surface settings...  but I'm stumped.   Newbie at Logic here.   Any ideas what to check?  Thanks in advance!

  • What is a good control surface for Logic X

    Hello All I am thnking about purchasing logic X in the future and wanted to hear opinions on good control surfaces in the $3,000 range. Hit me up with your opinions.
    Stuart

    I heard there were gliches with the Tascam 4800. That is what I originally planned on getting, but it seems that it is increasingly more difficult to find an outlet that is selling that mixer. I suppose this means a newer version is about to be introduced.

  • Can i control surface logic 9 with digi 002 mixer? on snow leopard 10.6.8

    Hi I'm trying to connect my digi002 mixer to use it as a control surface with logic 9, is there anyway of doing this?
    I have an RME Hammerfall DSP Multiface II, that I'm using as my main sound card, but would like to light it with the 002 and use the 002 converters as well, so that in total i get 16 channels I/O + if I could get control surface of logic with the 002 would be great.....
    I heard about the Multi-Client CoreAudio Driver, but not 100% sure if and how it works to control surface logic with 002.
    Anyone???
    Help please....
    Thx...

    I assume you have working installer discs? If so here's a suggestion:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  Insert the disc into the
             optical drive and restart the computer.  After the chime press and hold down the
             "C" key.  Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
             dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
             OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

  • Logic Pro X: control surface "Scrub" no longer working

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a relatively new user of Logic Pro, and a very new user of Logic Pro X - I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
    I've been using DAW Remote HD (by EUM Labs) on an iPad 1 with Logic Pro 9, and found them to be a great combination.
    Two weeks ago I upgraded to Logic Pro X, and I've found a problem which has been driving me crazy. Basically, the "Scrub" function using the Jog wheel in DAW Remote HD has stopped working. Using the jog wheel just to jog forwards and backwards works fine; however, when I hit the Jog / Scrub toggle, the "Play" button lights up, and then regardless of whether I try to scrub forwards or backwards the playhead just "jiggles" in place and nothing happens - no scrubbing.
    Can anyone help? I'm guessing the control surface assignment has gone awry somewhere, but have *no clue* where to start. I've had a look at the Controller Assignments expert view in Logic Pro X, and had a read through the Control Surfaces documentation, but I'm all at sea. Is this a bug somewhere, or is this something I can "fix" myself?
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help. I can't use the native Logic Remote as I only have an iPad 1, and am hoping I can get this important function working again on DAW Remote HD as it's pretty vital in my workflow.
    All the best,
    Sarah

    Hi everyone,
    I've been doing a bit more research into this and am wondering if it might actually be a bug. I've deleted my control surface config file, reinstalled the DAW Remote several times clean, both automatic and manual, and even tried it out with completely different control surface software on my iPad1.
    In all cases the "scrub" function doesn't work properly - it stutters and "jiggles" and moves forwards randomly, and all the while the jog / scrub toggle enables the "PLAY" button (I'm not sure if this latter is intended functionality or not - I never noticed when it was working in Logic Pro 9).
    Could it be that Logic Pro X is interpreting the scrub command(s) differently from Logic Pro 9, or even incorrectly? I don't know anywhere near enough about control surface commands to comment - just that the apps & functions were working with Logic Pro 9 and now aren't with Logic Pro X.
    Would someone mind giving this a second check to see if it can be replicated? Basically use an iPad control surface app like DAW Remote HD, AC-7, LPTouch, etc, with Logic Pro X and try and get the "scrub" working on the jog wheel (jog works fine - it's scrub that's the issue).
    I'm using an iPad 1 so don't have access to the Logic Remote, and it seems a bit expensive to upgrade the iPad to get access to a scrub wheel.
    Thanks!
    Sarah

  • Logic Unexpectedly Quits  / Conflict with Motomix control surface

    Logic unexpectedly quits when I try to open a new song.
    So I installed ProApplicationSupport and I trashed the Logic preferences. But it didn´t help.
    But I found out, that Logic does not have this problem
    - after deleting in Logic the control surface for the CM Motormix that I use in my setup; no problem with other control surfaces (But having the same problem again after reinstalling the control surface for the Motormix)
    or
    - launching Logic with another user (I am working with the admin user)
    What can I do?

  • Strange Crash when opening Logic 9 after deleting control surfaces preferences file

    Hey, I have been having issues where logic crashes when I save certain projects of mine, so I tried to find a solution and one that I had read said that I should delete the control surfaces preferences file named com.apple.logic.pro.cs.  I deleted the file, but it seems to have bricked my copy of Logic.  I have included a screenshot of what happens when I now open Logic, which requires a force quit to get out of.  If anyone has any suggestions of what I should do next I would really appreciate it.

    Solved.  It was an issue with my prokit (I had also been messing with that unfortunately).  Found another thread and followed their instructions, back in action.  Feel free to lock this thread.

  • Control surfaces with Logic?

    Have a Macbook pro & looking to get Logic. Previously was running Cubase with a Yamaha O1v deck & it worked great with Cubase. Sold all that & looking to get a more compact project studio going ... what control surfaces integrate well with Logic?

    The Yamaha O1v had a fader mapping setup that worked really really well with Cubase. You simply selected the O1v from a drop down menu in Cubase and all the faders and EQ settings automatically mapped to the board. Only a few boards were listed in the Cubase menu.
    Curious if there are certain boards might be listed in a similar feature in Logic.
    (Planning on jumping on the Logic train at the same time as picking up a board...)
