Using 01V96 as a control surface.

Hi, I am having some serious issues using my 01v96 in remote mode (via MIDI) as a control surface. The first thing is that when the 01v96 is listed on the setup page Logic continually outputs a C -2 note about once a second. It also outputs sysex data and continually zaps my free memory. This is worsened with Studio Manager running at the same time. The other thing is, I can use the first 8 channel strips when the input port is listed as all but not when I try to change it to a specific port. I cant get the second 8 channel faders to work at all, even manually adding the control surfaces. In fact, as soon as I try to change to a specific port the 01v says it has gone offline and is waiting for MIDI input.

I have now got the 01v to operate as a control surface however it is still causing logic to output a C -2 note event at roughly 1 second intervals. Any idea what this could be??
Also, logic is registering the sysex data from port 1 of the 01v. On Clicks & Ports I can manually connect all of the MIDI ins apart from yam. port 1 to the seq. & thru but is there any other way of simply knocking out one of the midi in ports in logic. Unfortunately it won't let me do it in OSX.

  • Yamaha 01v96 v2 as control surface.

    Hi there, does anyone out there use this digi mixer as a control surface? My problem is;
    1/ When I set the DAW channels to 2-3 and do everything logic tells me, it seems that the mixer continuously and repeatedly outputs a c-2 note event. I can get over this by putting a filter between the MIDI 3 port and the sequencer input but it sould not be happening.
    2/ The control surface tends to be very tempramental and loses contact with Logic. Message on mixer "01v96 has gone offline and is waiting for midi input". Message on Logic "Logic has lost contact with 01v96, please power cycle"
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there Morten.
    Have been having the same problem. Spoke to several people about this fact (while bouncing the O2R96 goes off line). No solution yet. Must say my bounces are fine tho. Haven't had a blip on them yet. Just the tedium with the "okay" depress. How are yours?
    As for the MIDI out activity you see on the transport bar, have spoken to Yamaha Kemble at length about this (to try to get rid of it as it was bugging me too. What happens when the counter gets to 000000? Still haven't got there yet...). They assured me that this is an essential part of the O2R96s communication sync with Logic. The O2R96 sends a MIDI message to Logic (every second apparently) in order to asertain whether "it" can hear "it". This is then/'should be' echoed back by Logic. Apparently this prevents MIDI data jams by telling the user that Logic is no longer in contact with the O2R96. Basically that alert you get "Logic is unable to communicate with "O2R96". Please Powercycle..." If it still bugs you, you could get rid of the MIDI window in the transport bar? This does however take away one's All MIDI Note Off command away...
    Hope that answers the why question.

  • Using Yamaha AW2400 as control surface for Logic Pro 9

    I am a freelance pro sound engineer currently working as tech support for a local school. They have a Yamaha AW2400 in their studio, something which I have never come across before despite using numerous Yammy desks. They also have a Mac running Lion and Logic Pro 9.
    What I want to do is use the desk as a control surface for Logic and record direct to the Mac if possible. I have installed the Yamaha USB-MIDI drivers on the Mac and had the desk running as a device for file transfer (via the USB connection) but everything else is beyond my knowledge of the desk and Logic.
    I am a Pro Tools guy so Logic is a bit new to me but I know how to setup a new control surface. and the basic operations.
    What I need help with is...
    - what control surface to use as there is no preset on the desk for a AW2400
    - what port settings to use on Logic
    - what TX and RX settings to use on the AW2400
    - what Remote Out settings to use on the AW2400
    - any other info I may need
    Thanks in advance, hope some can help.

    See page 204 of the AW2400 User Guide...
    http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/pa/english/recorders/aw2400_en_om_b0.pdf
    Note: the User Guide says that only LP7 is supported but you never know.. it may work with LP9... Test and see..

  • Can I use a VS-700C control surface with Logic Pro?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if I can use a Roland VS-700C control surface and/or VS-700R audio interface with Logic Pro?
    Cheers,
    Craig

    If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

  • 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.

  • Axiom 25 as a control surface for Logic?

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased the Axiom 25 in hopes of using it as a control surface in addition to its MIDI capabilities. I have downloaded the Enigma library from M-Audio's website and have tried, to no avail, to assign the transport keys. Can anyone explain the process of using Enigma to assign keys on the Axiom, and what must be set-up, if anything, in Logic for the two to interact...
    Thanks in advance, you guys are great.
    jon

    Hi there!
    I have a 49, and while I don't use it as a control surface per-say, I did setup the transport keys so I can quickly start and stop things without worry. You don't need the M-Audio software. (As an aside I try to install as little extraneous software as possible.)
    Here's what you do:
    Preferences -> Key Commands
    Open up the Global Commands section with the drop arrow.
    Then highlight (read click) on the parameter you want (play, stop, etc.) and then click "Learn MIDI" and hit the button you want to use on the Axiom 25.
    That should about do it. Worked for me! If I missed something or it's not working reply here and I'll take a look.

  • Original 02R and control surface

    Dear Logic Users,
    This is a brilliant forum! I've always been amazed by the knowledge of everyone out there.
    This time, I have a really tricky problem to solve.
    I've obtained a Yamaha 02R and I wish to use it as a control surface in Logic. Although it's not directly supported, I've read you can use the learn features of Logic to connect via midi.
    I also have a MOTU Midi Express XT.
    When I select menu Apple Pro Logic --> Preferences --> Control Surfaces --> Learn parameter 'no parameter selected' or 'controller assignments' and learn
    The motu midi express seems to beam the synchronisation tick without giving me chance to move a fader on my 02R.
    Does anyone know how I can disable this feature in my MOTU.
    Or - does anyone know how i can setup a port and parameter I can learn.
    I know I've got a long way to go, but any help here would be amazing.
    Kind regards,
    Andrew

    Currently, my settings in the Yam 02R are as follows:

  • Issues re Tascam FW-1082 & FW-1884 control surface - integration with FCP

    The joint Tascam/Apple release put out in 2005 touting seamless compatibility between these two products (see below) turns out to be a gross exageration. Basic functions are conceivably compatible, but some do not work and there is a paucity of documentation available. The many buttons and controls on the Tascam's control surfaces are rendered useless. The consumer consumer has been wronged and these are not cheap products. Countless similar posts on this site backs me up on this.
    I have the Tascam fw-1884, which has the same setup as the 1082. Have any of you been able to assign quick keys on the tascam using the keyboard customization tool in FCP? I've followed the example on Tascam's support site, but it does not seem to work.
    Also, looking for more documentation/tutorials/consultants who can help me master all the features of the Tascam with FCP 5.
    Thanks,
    David
    TASCAM interfaces now compatible with Apple®'s
    Final Cut® Pro 5 & Soundtrack Pro
    MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) onboard Final Cut Pro 5 allows the use of external audio control surfaces to edit and manipulate audio
    Montebello, CA—April 16, 2005—TASCAM's full line of FireWire audio control surfaces and interfaces are now compatible with Apple®'s Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro editing software with Apple's unveiling of the Final Cut® Studio production suite that includes the Final Cut Pro® 5 upgrade.
    This major upgrade to the Apple's Emmy award-winning software means that Final Cut Pro 5 and Soundtrack Pro are now fully compatible with MCP (Mackie Control Protocol) devices, so you can use external audio control surfaces— including TASCAM's FW-1884 or FW-1082—to edit and manipulate audio more efficiently.
    TASCAM's newest audio controller, the FW-1082, has nine motorized faders for adjusting audio levels during mix playback utilizing the revamped software. Editors can turn up a dialog line or reduce the music level during a voiceover section without clicking on breakpoints. Just grab a fader and go! The transport buttons can be used to start and stop playback in any editor that supports the Mackie Control or Mackie HUI. TASCAM's FW-1082 also has a MIDI fader mode that can be used in programs like Apple Motion 2 to adjust parameters in real-time during playback. And since it's an audio interface as well, producers can record voiceover and sound effects right in the edit suite with professional results.
    The FW-1082 has four mic inputs, four line ins and S/PDIF digital in and out – all available at 96kHz. It features 10 inputs, including four balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power. Eight channel strips each feature a 60mm touch-sensitive moving fader and select/solo/mute buttons, and a moving master fader.
    For even more I/O and surface control, the FW-1884 offers 18-channels of inputs (eight analog and eight ADAT digital and two S/PDIF coaxial or optical), eight balanced XLR mic/line inputs with high-quality mic preamps and phantom power, plus nine 100mm motorized touch-sensitive faders.
    G4 dual processor 1.25mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   FCP 5.1.1

    So after writing this question I closed the laptop, leaving the Tascam on & connected. Returned 30 mins later to see if anyone had replied (where are you all??!!), opened the laptop & the Tascam suddenly springs to lift, faders move & Soft LCD app shows activity correctly.
    So, all appears to be OK although I don't really know why...!!

  • Which control surface do you use, would like to use or have used for audio?

    I am shopping control surfaces for mixing audio in Premiere Pro CC. I am buying used so I would sure like to get it right the first time. I am looking for feedback from those who have used a control surface as well as those who have just looked around. I have searched high and low for information from Premiere Pro users but have found very little. Even the Audition folks have not shared much information about experiences with audio control surfaces.
    Here are some consoles I've looked at but cannot determine compatibility (due to lack of information):
    Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
    Digidesign Command 8
    Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
    M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
    Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
    Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
    Radikal Technologies SAC 2.2 DAW controller
    Avid Artist Mix Control 8 Fader Euphonix DAW Mixing Control Surface
    Tascam FW-1884 Firewire Control Surface
    Tascam FW-1082 Firewire Control Surface
    CM Labs Motormix
    CM Labs Motormix 2
    CM Labs MotorMate
    Novation ZeRO SL MkII MIDI DAW Control Surface
    Nektar Panorama P1 USB Midi DAW Control Surface
    Alesis Master Control
    If you have experience with any of these consoles, or have any to add to the list, specifically with Premiere Pro, please leave a note here. I believe there will be others who will check this discussion looking for the same answers as I. Documentation of these control surfaces is very thin when it coms to discovering if they are MCU or EUCON protocol (or other) - and even if I was able to discern a flavor I still do not know which features will work in Premiere, such as transport controls, faders, plug-in modifiers, et al.
    So I guess my goal here is to come up with a list of work/don't work features for each of these control surfaces and more so we can make informed bang for the buck decisions. My budget for a used control surface is $300-400, but I'd be willing to go to $500-600 or more if the features/integration were significantly better.
    Thanks!

    Here is the list with the responses I have received from the manufacturers, (3) so far.
    Mackie Control Universal MCU Pro 8
    The MCU Pro uses three different types of MIDI operating protocols (Mackie Control, HUI, and Logic Control). We have not tested the MCU Pro here in Tech Support with Premiere Pro. You will want to contact Adobe directly to see if they support the Mackie Control, HUI or Logic Control protocols with the Premiere Pro software. It is up to the manufacture of the software on how well these MIDI operating protocols are implemented into the software.  With contacting Adobe directly you will be able to see what control surfaces are supported with their software.
    Digidesign Command 8
    Digidesign Digi 002 Pro Tools Console
    M-Audio ProjectMix I/O Control Surface
    The Project Mix I/O is a discontinued product.  However, it should work properly with basically any DAW program.  I can't speak to specifically Premiere Pro, but we have a few customers who use that combination and those customers report it works just fine.
    Icon QCon Pro USB Midi Controller Station
    Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000
    Thank you for your email! Yes, you are able to use the BCF2000 to control Adobe Pro CC. YOu will need to program the controller into Mackie Emulation mode. Mackie Emulation will allow full functionality within your software. Attached you will find a PDF showing each emulation mode. Here are a few informative links explaining setup and application:

  • 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 a Control Surface with the Clip Mixer

    I'm contemplating purchasing a Mackie MCU to help automate some of the volume edits I have to make using 5 tracks in the Audio Clip Mixer over 80 hours of video.  I've tried to contact Adobe support, but they are about as cluless as a bag of hammers.  When I asked if the clip mixer works with a control surface (after 4 calls and 4 different agents) I was told no.  Which is total BS as there is toggle in the clip mixer called "Toggle Control Surface Clip Mixer Mode". They read from scripts and have no clue what they are talking about.   I guess I should not be surprised as its an outsourced call center staffed with drones who have never even used the software, much less in production!  Adobe you should be ashamed of your support, it's appauling! (BTW I own an online Magazine in the 3d industry and will be writting an article about your appauling support soon) 
    Anyway, onto my specific questions:
    1) The Mackie MCU has overlay cards for button mappings for many different apps, but PP is not one of them.  What functionaliy is mapped to the control surface specially from PP and the clipmixer?
    2) Is there a way to group channels so that keyframes can be written to multiple clips at the same time by using one fader?
    3) In the clip mixer there is a keyframe toggle, does such a toggle translate to the control surface?
    4) Sometimes I want to manually keyframe, rather thanan make adjustments while the playhead is moving, so I will simply click the fader slider to write a keyframe, manually move the playhead and then adjust the fader to write the subsequent keyframes.  As faders on a control surface can not be pushed like a button, is there a way to generate a keyframe from the control surface?
    5) Are there any known limitations using the control surface vs the software for both the clip and track mixers?
    Jeff

    The Mackie device has some quirks, and while basic functionality is there, PPro does not have as strong support with mackie as it does with eucon through the avid artist series.  The physical MCU keys switched between different versions of the device and what is undo on one is a different function on another, so sadly, depending on what model you get, those buttons may or may not be correct by the label that is on the device.  There is no way for us to tell which one you have.
    Clip mixer mode can be enabled either through the fly out menu in the clip mixer or by assigning a keyboard shortcut.  When engaged, it supports the faders, pan/balance/mute and solo.  If automation is engaged it will record automation, though you can't engage clip mixer automation via the control surface like you can on the track mixer.
    Unfortunately there is no way to group channels at this time, aside from making a submix, but I do not think this is what you were requesting.
    There is not a way to manually enter a keyframe via a button on the control surface.
    It is possible to customize some of the control surface buttons by hitting the button assignments button in the Mackie control surface window.  This is mostly limited to the function keys and a few others
    The touch and latch mode lights is a known bug.
    If you want more customization, the Avid Artist series has much better support in this regard.  We set up many soft keys, but you can also create your own very easily. 
    I will take a look at the other issues you have raised as they sound like bugs, but I also encourage you to file them through here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform as it will help us to gauge how many are using the mackie protocol vs eucon.

  • Using a Yamaha o2r as external control surface?

    I've been trying to get my o2r to work as a control surface for the audio mixer in fcp5 .. with no luck.
    The 'iControl' that I use for Garageband does actually adjust the pan control (but only the pan!) .. its just occurred to me that I don't know whether this is through midi or the usb!
    Does anyone know whether the o2r can be linked up?
    Thanks

    If the O2R supports Mackie emulation it should work, if it doesn't then it most likely won't work. You'll need to check the manual for the O2R to find out.

  • Im looking for the cheapest and smallest transport control surface to use with logic 9(and X when i upgrade my lappy). usb.

    Ive seen the presonus faderport but there looks to be lots of problems? is this still the case or has it been fixed?
    Or have you any info on godens...if there even is?
    cheers.x

    If I could make a suggestion. I too have the Axiom49 and love it. I would not get rid of it. But for control of Logic, I use the Presonus FaderPort. It works flawlessly. Plug it into a USB port, add the Mackie HUI controller in the preferences, set the input and output (of that control surface) to the FaderPort, and your done. Motorized fader, limitless pan knob, etc. You may want to look into this little gem. It will be less expensive than a new MIDI controller, that's for sure.

  • 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!

    Plug in the usb lead.

  • Using an Edirol PCR-300 as a keyboard and MIDI control surface. Any luck

    In the manual for the Edirol it lists 8 or 10 templates for Logic and then doesn't go on to say exactly what they do. I tried adding the PCR from the list of supported surfaces but it's not there.
    There is some instruction in the PCR manual to open the Audi0o Midi data manager and create nodes with connections, but I'n not sure exactly what the point of that is supposed to be.
    After doing some digging I found something that that the Edirol had to be supported in Mackie emulation mode. I recently did some major problematic upgrades and lots of this appear to be lost. I don't know which Mackie mode it supports. My guess it would be HUI, because unlike the MCU the Edirol isn't really bidirection is this correct?
    I think I had it working before the upgrade, but now I've got the old problem back. I can get the control surface to sort of work and then when I touch a regular key the whole screen goes crazy with windows popping up and down then disappearing.
    I think for some reason the Edirol is sending out messages that are telling Logic to frequently cycle through screen sets. I did think I had figured out this problem once before after diligent searching, but I forgot how I did it.
    Any ideas on how to get the Edirol PCR-300 to play well with Logic?

    Yes I have installed the drivers as the PCR 300 works with Logic 8.
