Possible to record solo automation from a MIDI controller?

I am using a Novation SL MKII midi controller with Automap in Logic Pro 9.  I am trying to figure out how to record the solo automation feature from the MIDI input.  I select the track, and then select the 'Solo' section from the automation tools.  I then select Touch or Latch. (I've tried both)  When I push the MIDI button I can see that it does change the state of the track from solo on/off successfully, so the input is working fine.  But as I try to record it, nothing happens, no information about the state change is actually recorded. 
Here's the strangest part, it works fine when I record mute automation... but not solo.  Any common reason this is occurring?

Well, I don't know much about the kit you are using, but I do kow a bit about the midisport as I use one for my live setup. It should appear in the environment under clicks and ports. As for start and stop, although I have never tried this, I imagine it's possible through key command setup. Here you ought to be able to select play, learn the asignment and press the button. I'm not certain that this will work, and I'm pretty sure that some transport items won't work (like RTZ) but surely it should work. All I can say is give it a try!
If any of this doesn't make sense, I suggest a read of the manual about key commands. They are part of what makes Logic so powerful, and you should note that Logic has some functions not available any other way that are very powerful. Equally, if you want to start having fun with MIDI, a readup on the environment will help too. Ah, the possibilities are almost endless...
Any qs on it, don't hesitate to post back. I hop these pointers might help you on your way,
Best, Fred

  • Is it possible to record synth modulation performed via MIDI controller?

    Hi,
    Question from a complete MIDI newbie:
    I've recently bought a Novation Impulse 25 MIDI keyboard/controller. I've recorded an arpegiated synth bassline and while recording, I've tweaked the filter cutoff/resonance knobs like crazy to get that wicked, squelchy acid sound :-)
    It was all sounding fine through my monitors, but when I played back the recording, the filter modulation was gone, only notes were recorded, and the filter was at its default setting.
    I know there is a automation feature in Garage Band and you can control several parameters very precisely over time, but it won't replace going crazy on the knobs, faders and modwheels while playing/performing.
    Thanks for help,
    Michal

    Don't forget to drag a cable from the tempo fader to the sequencer input.
    The number on the tempo fader is the tempo.
    The input, channel, and data byte 1 would be used if you want to use something other than the pitchbend to control the fader. These are in the inspector on the left (press the letter "I" to show it if it's not there). You have to select the tempo fader, and open the disclosure triangle in the inspector.
    Now you will see a list. About halfway down is 'input' - it probably is set for pitchbd so leave it. Under that is Channel: probably set to 1. if the fader changes values when you move the pitch wheel, you're good. If not, you have 16 to choose from until it works.
    Under that is -1-: 1 If you were to change the above "pitchbd" to say, control - this would now allow you to open a list right there and assign a different knob or slider on your controller.
    Try it. Change "pitchbd" to "control" and set the -1-: value to 1 (you'll see in the list that 1=modulation). Now your mod wheel controls the tempo fader.

  • Is it possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server

    Pls tell me if it is possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server. I am using JMF. i am able to store audio on the same machine by making a java application but i am not able to understand how to use RTP with it to store it on server from an applet. pls help me i am in urgent need.

    If u want to capture audio/video from the client machine these are the pre-requisites
    1. u need to have JMF installed on the client :(
    one way out of this is that u bundle the library files along ur applet to the client. I am still to figure out how
    to fo that.
    2. while installation uncheck the option 'copy DLLs to system folder....' and check the option 'Allow capture
    from applets.
    3. The Applets u create must be signed, for accessing the client resources such as hard drive.
    You can then capture n save file on the client, open an inout stream out of it, open an outputstream to the server as already described above and start uploading......

  • Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?

    Colleagues,
    Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?
    Which will be the maximum transfer rate for continuous data recording?
    Thank you,
    Sergey
    Sergey

    Sergey,
    The PXI-8210 can connect to any SCSI 2 compliant device. If the RAID controller is SCSI 2 and appears just like a hard drive in the operating system, then you can send data directly to the RAID array. The problem is that the driver for the PXI-5112 does not yet support continuous acquisition. The on-board 16MB or 32MB buffer stores the data until the entire acquisition is completed. Once the acquisition complete, all of the data is transferred from the on-board buffer to the hard drive. After that happens, the NI 5112 is ready for another acquisition.

  • Trouble recording on garageband from a midi keyboard??  Help please

    When I am recording onto garageband from a midi keyboard, if I play more than one note at a time, the entire program goes crazy and makes crazy sounds and sustains notes way longer than I intend them.  I cannot figure out what is going on?

    I have the exact same problem.  endless sustain and all the notes blur together on track.  Just posted the problem.  I dont know the fix.

  • Form which will fetch possibly many records(maybe millions) from database

    Hello,
    I need to develop a form which will fetch many records from the database from one table . I could used go_block('blockname') & execute_query but I want to do something that will fetch the data and place it in a non db block instead of looping through the db block . What should I use ? Cursor ?
    I'd be grateful for any help please with an example of the code . Thanks.

  • Stuck notes from external midi device

    I just started using Logic today for the first time. I hooked up a MOTU midi express XT as an interface between my MacBook Air and a Proteus Orchestral synth (old rack model). Also hooked a FATAR keyboard (controller) to the interface. Everything shows up fine in the audio / midi setup windows. I was able to figure out how to set up several tracks in Logic pointing to the multiple channels on the external midi device (synth). So far, so good. But when I started recording the tracks I ran into stuck notes from the synth. I've had this in the past on other sequencing software and don't remember how to solve it? In addition, while recording the tracks from my keyboard controller notes would occasionally not play, almost like there was a memory / cpu problem.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    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

  • Recording realtime automation in GB 10.0.3

    Hi,
    Does GB record automation in realtime? - I am a guitarist and using an Apogee GiO with expression pedal I am able to play in GB using all the MIDI functions of the GiO including the expression pedal which is used for Wah and Whammy pedals etc - This all works perfectly and I can hear and see the pedals movements in Pedalboard and in Smart controls.
    However, while I record a track I continue to see and hear the Wah pedal movements etc BUT when I replay the recording NONE of these movements are heard and NONE are shown in the Automation line (it is just a straight line over the audio).
    The use of Wah and Whammy pedals is such an important and personal style unique to each player that I cannot beleive that Apple expect you to put these movements in manually - I would imagine it would be the same for Keyboard players using Mod wheels etc ...
    The MIDI info is getting to GB as I can see and hear the Wah/whammy pedals working along with the pedals On/Off functions and the GB transport controls all work. It´s just when recording these changes are not captured.
    Have I missed something obvious?
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Mike, you have to make a very important distinction between "recording Track Automation" and "recording MIDI Events"
    Track Automation
    When you record track automation online (yes Logic can do that), you move the onscreen controller (Fader, Knob, etc) on your DAW, or use an external controller (Control Surface) to remotely move those onscreen controller. What is record are so-called "Fader Events". You can also create those Fader Events offline, by manually drawing those Automation Control Points (which are the representation of those Fader Events).
    MID Recording
    When you use a MIDI Controller, you record its MIDI signals as individual MIDI Events in GarageBand (or Logic). These MIDI Events are the notes you play on the keyboard or any controller (PitchWheel, ModWheel, etc) on a MIDI Keyboard. The important thing is that these are all MIDI Events that you can edit in the Piano Roll. When looking, for example, in the MIDI Draw Area of the Piano Roll Editor, you can see the MIDI Events for the ModWheel (CC#1). Although they look like automation at a (Control Points creating a continuous curve)., these are just MIDI Events
    Here is a screenshot of GarageBand that shows Track Automation and MIDI Recording, both look like "automation", but they are different.
    Attention
    Many Control Surfaces use MIDI as the protocol to send and receive data. This could lead to some confusion. Although you would send a MIDI signal from your controller to the GarageBand/Logic, you are not recording that MIDI signal. That signal is only used to remotely move specific onscreen controls in GarageBand/Logic. Only the Fader Events related to specific controls (and even controls on the Smart Controls) are recorded in the Track Automation and visible as an Automation Curve on the Track Lane.
    I hope that explanation is not too complicated/confusing. I explain all that in great detail with lots of graphics in my manuals "GarageBand X - How it Works" and "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
    Hope that helps

  • Is it possible to record with QTJava 6.1

    Hi,
    Is it possible to record live stream from an IP Camera using QuickTime for Java? I had installed latest version of QuickTime 7.1. The version of QTJava is 6.1, that comes with QuickTime 7.1. When I tried to store the video using the program I get an error as follows:

    You can install 10.5.4 *only if* the installer disc includes drivers that support the hardware of your new Mac. This is not likely: 10.5.4 was released on 30 June 2008 & there have been "under the hood" changes to the hardware for the 2009 models.
    If I did take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it, they'd just give me a funny look. I can't really prove there is a problem, and of course after I unplug this stupid thing and reboot it, it will run great for an hour (or less). "Hi. This computer is too slow. Fix it." They'll just try to sell me their $500 RAM.
    If there really is a problem with your new Mac, Apple won't give you a funny look; they will try to help you resolve it. However, if you have installed third party aftermarket memory that is substandard (which is not uncommon), it is your responsibility to replace it with module(s) that do meet Apple's specs. They do not have to be Apple-supplied modules, just well made ones supplied by vendors that guarantee their products meet or exceed these specs. Much of the "budget" or "generic" RAM modules on the market are not tested prior to being sold -- in effect, you are the quality control department.

  • How can I use my iPad 4gen as a MIDI controller?

    Hello there,
    I have the iPad 4 generation. I have been reading that it is possible to use my iPad as a MIDI controller to help me with making music on my Windows computer and want to do this. What I've seen on the Internet from other people, is that they use an iPad camera adapter with other cables to connect to their computers. I have a few concerns with this, one was that if it can only be done with jail breaking my iPad, if it does please let me know so I just don't try it. Another concern that I have, if i can actually do this without jail breaking, is that I have the new Lighting connection and I see people do it with the old 30 pin connection and want to know if I can still do it with this iPad.
    If I there are adapters I can use with my iPad 4 generation can you help me out by telling what I need to buy to do this with my iPad.
    Thanks,
    Alan V.

    Hi there,
    At this time you cannot use your iPad as a display like you describe.
    However, you can buy the extra Camera Connection Kit, to import video and pictures from some camera's and SD Cards.
    I urge you to submit feedback to Apple:

  • Using MIDI controller - Delay (Laten

    Im using an M-Audio Radeum6 key controller connected to the computer via USB. The software for the keyboard is installed and working properly. There is a serious delay in sound being generated by my audio software from the midi controller. I realize that MIDI controllers do not generate sound, but notes - and the audio software generates the sound. How can I eliminate the latency? there should be none if everything is working properly. I have an Audigy 2 LS and believe it should be capable of playing the midi controller immediately as the controllers manual says it will. What am I doing wrong? Is there some setting, driver, connection, etc. which is not setup properly?

    noiziman,
    The ASIO drivers deals with digital audio signals between the software and the card, and it isn?t related with MIDI signals.
    Anyway, it isn't clear from the original question if the delay comes from the MIDI device itself or from the digital audio processing, since for the later he should be using a software synth. If he's using the hardware sampler (i.e. Emu0k processor in internal SB Li've/SB Audigy with SoundFonts), the problem shouldnt have to do with ASIO.
    To chek out this, i?d record in a MIDI track the signals received from the MIDI device (with the proper timming it should have, no matter the current latency of the resulting sound), and then i'd inspect the track (or it'ss event list view) looking for the singnals recorded from the controller. If the signals where received on time (that is, the timestamp matches the timestamp of an associated music event), then the latency comes from the synth. With a software synth, the ASIO settings would help with the latency (or a faster computer :-).
    But if the timestamp doesn?t fit where theyre supposed to fit, then the delay comes from the MIDI cables or setup. If so, try:
    ) To increase the "ticks per quarter note" in the MIDI setup for the song (or decrease this, if the problem comes from overloading the MIDI network with signals)
    2) Rewire the MIDI cables, i.e., avoiding chaining this controller trough other devices nor using MIDI THRU. At least i?d try pluging the controller right into the MIDI IN from the soundcard to test the latency.
    3) I don't know that controller, but if it's a synchronized one, try turning off sync (or using another device for sync).
    Hope this hel
    ps.

  • Recording from a MIDI device

    Hello,
    Is it possible to record from a MIDI device? I connected my keyboard via an M-Audio USB UNO interface. I used MIDI-OX to confirm that my Windows XP PC was able to input and output a MIDI signal. But I do not see a MIDI input option in Soundbooth's Record dialog box. And when I check audio levels, nothing shows up in the dialog box. I checked my Recording Control dialog box and MIDI/Synth is selected.

    I think you need Adobe Audition.  Soundbooth I believe is strictly Audio waveforms capable.

Is it possible to exclude white space from creating records using UNPIVOT? I am just looking for syntax if there any. thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry, it's very unclear what you want.
    Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
    Have you tried the the UNPIVOT EXCLUDE NULLS option? See the SQL Language manual for details.
    It that doesn't do what you want, then you may need to UNPIVOT in a sub-query, generating more rows than you want, and use a WHERE clause in the main query to remove the unwanted rows.

    Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?
    For instance, if I assign a value of foo to $var1 in my shell script how would I retrieve/pass that value in the next Automator action. I see that there is a variable called "Shell Script" but I can't any information on how to use it. 

    red_menace,
    Thanks but I still don't understand how to pass a single value that was set in the UNIX scipt back to Automator has a variable. Take the example below, I write 4 varables to STDOUT and all 4 are stored in a variable named "storage".  How do I assign 1 of these values to the Automator "storage" variable? For instance if I wanted to assign the value of $var2 to "storage" , how would I do that?
