This One is For Environment Gurus Only-controlling presets of external FX

Hi y'all,
I just got a new hardware (WHAT?) Hardware reverb unit. (Oh my gosh, what's THAT?)
Although they have an AudioUnit plugin to control it, since I am on an Intel Mac, they do not yet work on my machine. They only have PPC...boo hoo.
So,I am building a Logic environment for a Lexicon Reverb, the MX400, and I am getting along just fine, with the correct implementation of each parameter control, etc.
Here is the conundrum:
I would like to have two buttons, one for going UP one preset at a time, and one for going DOWN one preset at a time.
I have the part figured out, as far as making a button that spits out program changes, but of course, this being a button...it only goes min / max.
I ALSO have all the presets already on a text menu object, so I can just open that, and select the one I want...but... sometimes I like to scroll through effects, when I am looking for something to put on an instrument, and then tweak the effect to suit the song. This will be harder to do when my effect is not close to the listening position, and when I am closing my eyes to focus my ears on, of all things, the SOUND.
So there is the small challenge, to build a two button do-dad that will increment/ decrement an external device's program presets by one per each button press. (It's CC #32 in case y'all forgot)
Cheers

Is it correct that the MX400 can function as 2 stereo units and bypass your soundcards A/D by going in through SPDIF?
Hi,
Absolutely!!! That is why I bought it, well... that and the fact that it sound soooo good. I have always loved the Lexicon reverbs.
This one actually has 2 SPDIF I/Os one for each stereo processing engine!!!
I have it set up right now like this: SPDIF A I/O to my Digi002R.
No messing with inserts, at least not until I install my brand-new Allen & Heath in the studio I'm building right now.
And, yes, you can run three different engine options:
1. Stereo, where you can cascade two stereo effects any way you want (delay then verb, etc...)
2. Dual stereo, where your have 2 engines operating TOTALLY independent of each other, and have DIFFERENT I/Os, both digital SPDIF AND analog.
3. SURROUND, Yes, SURROUND!!! You can set this one up in different ways, like 1 input, 4 outputs (Front Left and Right, and Rear Left and Right)
Or two inputs, or four inputs...to four outputs, etc... This one uses both processing engines at once.
It is indeed a great value for the money. The effects sound SO good.
Cheers

  • HT1386 everytime I try to SYNC my iPod a message comes on screen saying the iPod is synced with another library why as I only have this one iPod and it's only ever been synced with one PC

    Why do I keep gettin a message when trying to sync my iPod nano to mitunes this ipod is synced to another library, I have only ever had this one iPod and it's always been on the same PC

    Sometimes a computer glitch wil cause that problem. You just have to restore the iPod and resync.

  • View Piano Score while Recording-THIS ONE'S FOR YOU SAMPLECONSTRUCT!

    *I wish to view my Piano score while recording on a Midi Track.*As soon as I hit Record my Piano Score disappears & is replaced by a BLANK Scrolling score notation representing the Recording Track.As soon as I stop recording My Piano Score which I wanted to READ while recording reappears.
    This is not what I want as I wish to follow along & read the Piano Score on my Midi track AND Record a new TAKE at the same time.
    I have not found a way to do this & if it is not possible it is a serious omission in Logic 8 as far as I am concerned as I would expect a lot of us would like to have this feature. And it seems like such a logical way to do things...just READ & follow along while recording a take. Sort of like the old "bouncing ball" following along with a lyric.
    Any solutions out there? Especially from you SAMPLECONSTRUCT as you seem to be a major contributor on this discussion group.
    Thanks in Advance...JOHN

    I'm not Sampleconstruct, but I have answered this one personally here several times, over the years...
    Simply open your Piano Roll editor, and deselect the chain link symbol up in the left hand corner. I believe it defaults to being yellow. Turn it off (turns gray).
    Now you can record directly onto this track, or even another one, WHILE you are viewing the MIDI data that is already there. It won't go blank when you go into record.
    If you want this to be a permanent part of your set-up, simply lock the screenset when you have the chain link turned off.

  • Very Slow Internet Lion (This one is for the "Apple Network Team")

    hello,
    i'm joão from Portugal, Europe.
    a couple of weekends ago i've updated three macs to Lion.
    2009 MacMini, 2007 White Macbook, 2010 iMac 21".
    problems? only with the iMac.
    no connection drops but slow slow slow very slow internet. wired, speedtest marked 15Mbps download. wireless? 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 3Mbps, very unstable.
    with Snow Leopard everything was ok.
    tried every solution from every site and finally got it working flawlessly.
    tried clean install instead of update.
    tried new dns servers.
    tried disabling ipv6.
    tried remove wifi interface then add it again.
    tried service order.
    tried PRAM, NVRAM, SMC, you name it, reset.
    tried removing preferences folder.
    tried different browsers -> same symptoms.
    tried disable/enable airport.
    tried 10.7.1, 10.7.2, combo, delta.
    tried router's firmware update.
    tried putting the computer closer to the router.
    tried resetting the router, factory defaults.
    tried changing router's channel.
    tried disabling router's firewall.
    tried watch router's event log, nothing suspicious.
    tried disabling router's wep password.
    tried pinging a site for a couple of minutes, 2% packet loss.
    tried hundreds of pages and forums...
    during this attempts, macmini and macbook showed very good wireless internet speed.
    iMac? slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, like seeing gmail's loading screen for more than one minute...
    again and again speedtest 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 1Mbps, 1Mbps, 0,3Mbps, 3Mbps.
    discovered the pingtest utility in the same site and iMac's ping was grade C, grade F, grade D, with big values...mac mini and macbook were alwas grade B, with low pings (imagine 25ms on them vs. 138ms on the iMac).
    i was fed up with the situation, every week tried and failed. iMac's owner was wanting to get his Lion money back and stick to Snow Leopard again. imagine recent Windows switchers thinking they went back to the same situations....
    but then i found this website. and then realised macbook and macmini's wi-fi were both powered by a broadcom chipset. iMac's was powered by an Atheros chipset! did what the guy says on that site (replaced Lion's Atheros kernel driver by the one on Slow Leopard), and now everything is perfect, like on Snow Leopard. very good speed.
    what a relief. thank you sir.
    hope it can help you.
    hope it reachs apple's network developers...this is not good, you can't fail on something so simple and essential as decent wifi quality...

    humm...
    i've clean installed one macbook (late 2008?) and one mac mini (early 2009) both with broadcom adapters and both of them were ok, after the install.
    so, speedtest and pingtest are websites (speedtest.net and pingtest.net), both test your internet connection with the help of a 'local' server. it's useful, for instance, if you want see if two different computers connected to the same router have the same connection quality.
    so if you can connect to some routers nicely and you have problems with your router, to me, it seems like you have some problems with the connection between your computer and the router.
    an old router might bring you problems (there are some advices on the internet to change router's channel and so...), i would recommend to see if motorola has some sort of firmware update to your router. if you don't have complex router configurations, you might try to reset to factory defaults (search the manual). that, once, fixed a problem with a smc router and two macbooks (one, older, could connect easily, the other wouldn't connect to the router).
    if that atheros driver trick, resolved your issue, that's strange
    make sure broadcom isn't your ethernet adapter and not your wireless adapter
    did you resetted your pram and smc? do you  have Mac OS 10.7.2?
    i hope you can figure that out.

  • Try this one on for size: Frozen ipod

    Okay, so my uncle gave me a 60 gig color display ipod since he upgraded his. I used it for a couple of weeks fine, with no problems. One day it froze while I was forwarding to another song. I pressed "Menu" and after a long delay, it went to the menu. I then selected "Shuffle Songs" or whatever the selection is and then after another long delay, it went to song 1. No music came out and then before even starting song 1, it went to song 2, then song 3, etc. without playing any of the songs. This all happened in my car, and I didn't know about the five Rs at the time, so my only option was to let the battery die out. Once the battery died, I tried charging it and it didn't power up or anything. I took it to a friend of mine who used to be a Mac Genius and he tried doing all the 5 Rs, but to no avail. He then pulled apart the ipod, which fixed it immediately--he didn't even have to touch anything, just pried the cover off.
    However, in order to pry the cover off he had to take off the ipod skin. On the back of this ipod it says, and I quote, "Non-functional display unit. NOT FOR RESALE". This is EXTREMELY weird to me, as my uncle used it for well over 2 years with no problems, and then I had it for a couple of weeks with no problems. So I have no clue why that little blurb is on there.
    Anyway, so once the cover was pried off, it somehow magically fixed the ipod, and I had to restore it and add my music back again, which was not a problem. It played fine. So now, here we are a week later, and it's frozen again. Sad ipod and all that, blah blah blah. I don't want to have to keep resetting and restoring it and go through an endless cycle to fix it. I don't know if I should take it in, as the whole "non-functional" thing now has me paranoid. Any sort of advice would be helpful, as I'm pretty much screwed with this thing as it is. I'm currently at work, so I don't know which version of iTunes I'm using at home, but I'm pretty sure it's current.
    I sincerely apologize if this has already been addressed, but I honestly don't have the patience right now to scroll through 660-something pages. And I'm really just irritated at the moment. I really really really do appreciate any help that is offered.

    hi,
    I was just posting today on same matter, as a 30g ipod is freezing but not for cold, here, as the battery apparently is refusing to be charged.
    Could be because the ipod stood in a drawer for months, but as yesterday it worked fine,it's strange.
    It just stayed "black is black" after a complete discharge, and woudn't detect correctly any computer or charging process.
    Just found a firewire cable, will see with such later, before dismantling the battery and check his voltage.
    YOUR ipod could have a bad contact , incorrect sockets, dirt somewhere... you could try a good wind blowin' with some cold hair dryer, just in case.
    or could some humidity inside the box be the culprit ? some insulating deposit inside a socket causing a bad, intermittent, connection somewhere ?? eventually a cleaning could help, f.i. if your friend who opened it left some tiny bits of things somewhere... or had a cold and sniffed inside...
    Cheers
    Happy new year, anyways... !!!

Big fan of you also duffy .
    Thanks alot for all your help and keep up the hard work.

  • This one if for the MSI Engineers regarding a FX 5200 (users are welco

    First of all, please check this thread here.
    Which is the idle temperature of the 5200 core chip?
    I got 50°C in 2D.
    Is MSI ever going to ditch the Flash interface and give us a better MSI 3D Turbo application?

    If you are posting here in hopes that MSI emplyees will read your post then sadly you're wasting your time...
    Other than the Survey forum, the forums here are moderated by volunteers like myself who are NOT MSI employees and MSI does NOT read these forums.
    If you have questions regarding tech support issues you'll have to call MSI or use their email addy. Both of which I hear are pretty useless right now but the moderators here have brought this issue up with our MSI contact and he informed us that MSI is going to incorporate some sort of new Tech Support service in the near future that actually helps their customer base. When this will actually happen I haven't a clue....

  • Creating more than one account for a single user

    I was wondering, if I creat more than one account for me (the only person that uses my powerbook) is that going overboard? I mean, lets say I am logged into the standard account and I want to learn more about the bash shell and using terminal which I am new to, if I **** something up will the whole system be toast or will only things in that account be messed up? Like could I then just log into my admin account and delete the other messed up one? Or no? My theory was that this was a way of keeping my comp safe from myself, being that I am new to macs and moreso that I am new to the unix side of things and want to start learning the command line without worrying about screwing up my whole system. I would just use the standard account for everyday use (like what I do now) or experiment with terminal, and when I need to download something or change some settings that requires me to be logged in as admin then I would log in and download what I need then log out and use it in the standard account...am I just wasting my time? Is what I am doing any "safer" than just having one admin account and thats it?
    Thanks for all the help! It feels good to be a part of the goodguys team =)
    Thanks again!

    Ghost,
    First, I don't subscribe to the "one should not use an admin account" philosophy. For someone who is the owner and main user of any given machine, I see the use of anything but an admin account a bit anal, totally unecessary, and needlessly complicating.
    On the other hand, I don't see the need for more than one admin account on any given machine. Yes, I see exceptions to this, and many people favor having a second admin account as a "backup," but I have never had more than one admin account on any of my machines, and have never encountered a situation where one would have helped.
    In short, I like the idea of having a "main" admin account that is used most of the time, and then having "secondary" accounts (all non-admin) for any additional users that might log in.
    Now, any limitations that apply to you as a GUI user of an account, admin or not, will apply to you at the command line as well. In other words, you can't get yourself into any more trouble at the command line than you can within the GUI. In fact, you might even be better protected at the command line than you are in the GUI. I say this because any action that would ordinarily "elevate" you above the standard capabilities of a non-admin user require the use of "sudo." Avoid the use of sudo, and you can avoid any problems.
    That doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to do something stupid that might wreck an account that contains "all of your stuff," and on which you depend. It is not likely that you would damage your System, but it is entirely conceivable that you might, for example, accidently delete or overwrite your entire HOME folder. Oops!
    If you simply don't trust yourself with the command line, a second account might be a good place to experiment. Maybe create it as a non-admin account at first, with the option to change it to an admin account at a later time, when you want to learn how to use "sudo" to do more powerful things. By then, you will understand what not to do. Eventually, you will have the confidence to use the command line in your own account, which will have been an admin account all this while.
