Mackie control instrument selection

Hi
While i can choose and insert insert fx using the MC i can't seem to do the same with audio instruments. Anyone knows how?
The MC is running 1.2 software and logic is 7.2.2
Thanks in advance

Presumably then you have a first generation Mackie Control, not a Logic Control or Mackie Control Universal?
The first Mackie Control does not have labelling for Logic, I think it's ProTools labels, if memory serves.
I'm not even sure if the first Mackie Controls had Logic control functionality, as it came out a little while after the Logic Control was released, but I can't be sure. On a LC/MCU, the "Instrument" button is probably where you have an assignment button labelled "DYN" - whether it will work for you I don't know, as I don't know what mode you are running or whether Logic is directly supported on your MC.
You can get upgrade chips from Mackie that turn an MC into an MCU which will give you direct functionality (although it can't help with the labelling - the lexan overlays only cover the right panel.)
Edit: just checked, and the original MC can add LC functionality with a simple MIDI file upgrade, so I presume you're running that? In which case, the "DYN" button is the one you one want...

Mackie control - Please Help

I am trying to install a firmware update for my mackie control and have been stumped by this instruction can anyone tell me how to do this please...
4. and make sure the Mackie Control/Logic Control is the target midi device on channel one.
many thanks in advance

Hi,
you need to do 2 things:
1. REMOVE the MCU from teh controller setup page, and DO NOT RESCAN!
You need to have not mcu in your controller page.
2.You need to create a new midi instrument, name it mcu, and set it's midi ports to where your mcu is wired to your midi interface.
then, put this new instrument on the arrange page, and place your MIDI firmware update a few bards AFTER bar 1, say bar 3 or so.
Then, when you tell your mcu to get ready for the firmware, you can play it back from Logic into it, IN IT'S ENTIRETY, and it will be updated. If you stop before the entire MIDI is played, you'll have to start over, or suffer from a messed up MCU.
Cheers

Strange Mackie Control prob

It would seem that Channel 2 on my Mackie Control causes me some strange problems.
If I touch the Fader (number 2), it takes 2 presses of any function after that, to activate the next selected function. ie If I touch the fader then hit the Stop button in the transport, nothing happens until I hit the stop button again.
Also, on channel 2, if I use the V-Pot for selecting a plugin or in/out setting, the value is offset by a value of one, when the item/value is selected by pushing the V-Pot. ie If in track mode, I am setting the input channel, I might dial input 2, press it, and it goes to input 1 or 3. Weird!!
Has anybody else noted strange behaviour like this?

Has it always been like this, or has it started recently? If so, when did it start, and what did that coincide with?
Does it do it on all your songs, or just one? Does it do it on a fresh built default (option-click on File -> New)
Delete the control surface from Logic, and restart Logic so it builds a new one. Also throw away the control surfaces preferences and try the "Rebuild Defaults" option.
Also try connecting the MCU on different MIDI ports.
Does the MCU work correctly with any other software you have that supports the MCU? (If you have any)

Euphonix MC Mix and MC Control vs Mackie Control Universal Pro

Whats up.
I read the Euphonix artist series controllers working as specified with logic Pro 8, has that been fixed ?
Comparing the Euphonix MC series to the Mackie Control USB, which is a better controller and a better purchase ? And which works best with Logic Pro 8 ?
Cheers

Just saw this over at Gearslutz:
We are pleased to announce the release of EuControl 1.2.2
What's New
MOTU Digital Performer 6 (v6.01 or later) now directly supports EuCon, giving you added in-depth control of DP from MC Control and MC Mix. You no longer need to configure DP to use Mackie Control. Detailed setup instructions are found in the EuCon Application Setup Guide (PDF), included with this installer.
EuControl now remembers which surfaces are in the My Surfaces list. This helps in facilities where other EuControl users are on your same network, as only surfaces that belong to you are added when EuControl starts. If this applies to you, go to the Surfaces tab and change the new Automatically add: pop-up button to My Surfaces only.
The default setting is All Surfaces, which is used when you are the only person running EuControl in your home or studio. It provides a no hassle, plug and play experience, automatically adding your surface(s) so you never have to manually edit the My Surfaces list.
MC Control users can speedily scroll through Pro Tools tracks using the jog wheel. When controlling Pro Tools, go to the Soft Key tab and assign the EuCon command Left Edit > Nudge to a soft key. Toggle this soft key on. Turn to jog wheel to nudge forward and backward through all tracks.
Bug Fixes
Improvements in knob sensitivity when controlling certain Pro Tools plug-ins. If using Waves plug-ins with Pro Tools, be sure to select the HUI control surfaces support (low res) checkbox in the Waves Preferences dialog box that comes up when launching Pro Tools. You can hold the shift key during Pro Tools launch to show this dialog.
In the Insert Special pop-up button found in the the Soft Key Command Editor's Add... Key command, the \, Keypad Enter, Return, and Spacebar keys now work correctly.
General stability fixes.

Logic/Mackie Control not recognized in Logic 8

Logic Control problem with Logic 8. Apparently the Logic/ Mackie Control should work with Logic 8, but since I installed Logic 8 the Control is not recognized when scanned in the setup. I am using a AMT8 interface and everything worked fine with Logic 7 before. The Mackie Control is running version 1.02 in "Logic Control Mode". It is recognized in the Midi/Audio Setup of my mac, but not in Logic 8...

Update: I discovered the cause of the problem: My Apogee Ensemble audio interface. Only after I switched it off Logic 8 would recognize the Logic/Mackie Control. I switched the Ensemble off , launched Logic and voila: Logic Control is scanned and works. The next thing was switching on the Ensemble while Logic was running, now both the Logic Control and Ensemble worked, but quitting Logic and starting it again while Ensemble is running can cause Logic Control to not work properly as I discovered e.g. no display and no fader movements. So this is a bug and Apple's claim: The Logic/Mackie Control is fully compatible is not entirely true as long as you are using the Ensemble interface by Apogee which is a co-production between Apple and Apogee. So I'd say this isn't very well tested by Apple. I hope they fix it soon

How do I execute some code when a line of a table control is selected?

Hi,
I would like to execute some code when a line of a table control is selected. At the moment I have to select one or multiple rows and then press enter, this forces a screen refresh and my code is executed but I would like the code to be executed as soon as any line is selected.
I've done something like this using ALV grids and object orientated code but is there a way of doing this in a normal non-OO table control?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
U need to declare a char1 field for marking (mark field). This will reflect with value 'X' in your tcontrol internal table for all the selected rows.
Now u need to handle the okcode for enter in your PAI.
There u need to loop through the table for all marked fields.
There after u can do what ever u want.

Table control line selection issue

HI im facing a problem in table control.
I have a table control with selection column ( single ).
First time when i select a row its is marked X in the internal table,
Now again when i select another row .. The old row still holds the value X and the new row is gettign marked as X.
The problem here is the old selection is not getting cleared in the internal table.
This is the statement used in PAI
MODIFY gt_header INDEX tbl_header-current_line FROM wa_header .
Here the previous value is not getting cleared.

KSD,
During PAI Loop, the screen flow logic loops only through the visible table control lines. In your case, the user has scrolled down and seeing line 30 to 40 (say for example) after selecting a line in first page view. This is very common with any table control.
Now user is viewing 1 to 10 lines of the TC and have selected 3rd line. User then scrolls down by pressing page-down - now PAI is triggered and the internal table's 3rd line is modified with MARK='X'. User then views lines 30 to 40 and selects 33rd line. Now table control will automatically clear the MARK in 3rd line in the Table Control only. But it is the responsibility of the developer written code to clear the same in the Internal Table.
So within PAI Table Loop, you have to check the MARK which is coming from Screen to ABAP program every-time and if it is 'X', you have to clear any other line's MARK. Remeber you should not do this for multi-select. There is an attribute of the table control LINE_SEL_MODE. The above logic of clearing other lines' MARK should be implemented only after checking this attribute.
So incidentally your solution was the appropriate one.
Cheers,
Suresh

Mainstage 2 - Mackie Control Faders Not Working

Is there any way to use a Mackie Control to control Mainstage? The knobs and buttons seem to work, but MS doesn't see the faders at all. Is it a message that can be transformed with midi pipe? I would love to use the MC as a live mixer!
Midi Monitor doesn't see messages from the faders either.
Message was edited by: Organik

If Midi Monitor doesn't see the messages, then MainStage can't see them either.

Table control in Selection Screen

Hi,
Is it possible to keep table control and tabstrip control in selection screen without using dialog programming? I mean , using coding from program itself, have to get table in the selection screen,like how we are keeping checkbox and radio button from program itself .

Multiple Monitor control with Mackie Control and Behringer DEQ2496

Hi,
I have recently moved over to Logic from Cubase due to the support for Mackie's C4 control. In Cubase I was used to having really excellent monitoring options but I have found this really lacking in Logic - maybe I'm missing a trick or two.
What I'd really like to do is at the click of a button, preferably on my Mackie Control, switch between monitor speakers.
If possible, I'd also like to be able to change the program via a MIDI program change on my Behringer DEQ2496 graphic eq as I have different settings for both sets of monitors - is there some kind of macro functionality that could do this?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answering my own question. Apparently, I had substituted one bad Midi interface for another. In a desparate move, I picked up a MIDISPORT UNO (took out the Korg PadKontrol) and problem resolved. The MIDI OUT port on the PadKontrol introduces big time latency.

How can I control instrument using its RS232 port in VB or VC++?

1)How can I control instrument using its RS232 port in VB or VC++?
2)What's the module or .h file need I add-in to VB or VC++?
3)Can you provide me some easy examples for that?
Thanks!

Kevin,
I've used Measurement Studio - Tools for Visual Basic and Tools for Visual C++ (ActiveX component) for instrument control.
I've used both the VISA and non VISA versions and they are pretty straight forward to use for GPIB, Serial or VXI.

Trying to update Mackie Control Universal - Help?!

Hi all,
I just got hold of a Mackie Control Universal, but for the life of me can't work out how to update it!
I've been having a few issues,not sure how they come about, but during working with the MCU, the settings will all automatically change so that:
1) Panning with V-pots goes all funny - I can only pan channels to -64, 0, and +63.
2) When banking through channels (be it by bank or by individual channel), it just skips straight to the final channels, rather than incrementing by 1 or 8,
3) The jog wheel goes really strange, jumping 400 odd bars with every click.
I found someone else online who had the panning issue, and trashing the preference file solved it. However, given that its hapened twice in the first half an hour of using, I'd rather solve the problem properly!
I'm hoping an update will solve it, but (as from topic subject), I can't work out how!
I've DL the midi file, brought it into my sequencer, booted the Mackie in BootLoader mode, but can't work out how to send the MIDI signal to the desk. I've aselected the output source on the MIDI track to Firewire 410 (the MIDI interface that the Mackie is connected to), but nothing.
If anyone here knows how, a step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated, as I've spent a good 3 or 4 hours fiddling with this with no luck!
Many thanks

Hey Steve, Heres a link to my fix. In addition to this I seem to remember having to download a free third party midi player. To play the midi file in to the controller. And remember there are two types of files that kinda look the same be sure to download the right one. Also from what to what version are you looking at ?

Using Mackie Control with Logic Pro 7 and Yamaha O1X

I currently own a Yamaha O1x which is a mixer/control surface/audio interface that I use with Logic Pro 7. I am planning on selling the O1X and replacing it with the Mackie Control Universal as my DAW controller and using the Apogee Ensemble as my audio interface. I already have purchased the Mackie Control Universal and would like to begin using it instead of the O1X as my DAW controller, but while I am waiting for the Apogee Ensemble to be released I still need the audio interface capabilties of the O1X. The O1X uses Yamaha's MLAN protocol to connect to the G5. MLAN is a firewire interface that can transmit both audio and midi. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around solution so that I can use my Mackie Control Universal (which connects via midi cable) and only use the audio capability but not the control surface of the O1X via the firewire connection? I haven't been able to figure my way through this one and see if it is possible. I have already tried having them both hooked up at the same time, and the Mackie Control seemed to work fine but the audio on the O1X didn't seem to be connecting and functioning properly. I appreciate any help as I am anxious to use my Mackie Control.
Thank you!

You need to connect only the Audio and not the MIDI between your 01x and Mac. You can achieve this in mLan Graphic Patchbay-connect the cables between the Nodes in Audio part of a Graphic Patchbay, connect the Wordclock but do not make any MIDI connections. this way it should work as you want. the other way is to Make your regular connection from mLan Autoconnector and disable the MIDI ports that are dedicated to control the DAW by 01x by some freeware utility (01x uses port 1 for that...)
As this is quite 01x specific, please visit 01xray.com/forums where you will find more help, or send me PM.
As Apogee enssemble is expected to have great features, I would rather recommend the i88x instead of Enssemble (i88x has two Mic preamps-the best Yamaha produces (derived from Dm2000)VERY good converters (mLan is known for low jitter and it was tested with Rosseta by a mate from 01x forum who said (he tested it in store with other people) that i88x sounded better-may believe it or not...).The mLan Graphis Patchbay application allows you to patch connections between mLan devices and computer -very flexible. 01x already does almost the same as Mackie control and it is for almost the same price.... But maybe you are pi_ssed of waiting for new mLan drivers? I am just speculating....

Mackie Control Pro drawing too much power from usb?

I have a Mackie Control Universal Pro connected to my 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB rom, running OSX 10.5.4.
When I first hooked up my Mackie Control Pro (about 1 year ago) it worked perfectly. A bout 2 months ago my computer wouldn't recognize it anymore. I keep getting this message telling me the device is drawing too much power from USB port and due to that it will shut down that specific port.
My MCP is plugged to the electrical outlet and shouldn't need to be drawing power via the USP. I tried disconnecting all other devices hooked up via USB and Firewire beside the keyboard and mouse but same massage keep coming.
I checked the MCP to make sure the electrical wire was plugged in properly and supplying it with power, I also tried hooking it up with different USB cables via different ports but problem still there.
Can anybody help me out please this is starting to be a big head ache. Any help would be great.

Not 30 seconds after submitting the question I did just that. I felt stupid not thinking of that simple check. Thanks for the quick reply. It worked just fine with another cable. It appears we need a new cable for my daughter....
Thanks again.
