Using iControl with Logic Pro 8 - can you assign "undo" and "click on/off"?

Hi Guys
I know the M-Audio iControl works fine with Logic Pro 8 - the Logic 8 control surfaces manual has heaps of info on page 107 onwards about how to use the iControl.
Which is cool, because for simple remote tasks the iControl is brilliant. BUT I notice there are no "undo" or "click on/off" buttons on the iControl. Apparently (according to the control surfaces guide) you can assign different functions yourself.
Does anyone know if it's possible to assign these two features to say the "Option+Record" button and "Option+Cycle" buttons?
If anyone has any experience using the iControl with Logic, and personalising the controls, please let me know!
I have seen a cheap iControl and it might be a great solution rather than forking out for a Presonus Faderport or something more expensive...
Thanks heaps!
Mike

I've tried this (Mainstage) on both my home and mobile setups and there is one anomaly....
If I try to open a saved concert from the 'open recent concerts' menu item, nothing happens - However if I open a saved concert from the normal 'open' menu item, it all works as it should. Apart from that everything else 'just works'.
Obviously there is a variance between my findings and worshipvertical's, which is why I urge everyone to test for themselves to see what works and what does not.
If it works, great! You've saved a pot of money - If it does not work, I'm not sure I'd retain that much in the way of loyalty to the Logic platform, especially in view of the shorter and shorter enforced obsolescence periods that are now being forced upon us. Who knows where Apple is going next?
My opinions and findings, nothing more - or less

  • Help with Logic Pro 8, Apogee Symphony System, and Nehalem 8-core Mac Pro

    So here's the problem. I went on a shopping spree recently and purchased an 8-core Nehalem 8-core Mac with 14 GB RAM, Apogee's Symphony system (With Rosetta 800 and AD-16X), and I use this gear with Logic Pro 8.
    I still get system overload messages. Sometimes with only 1 virtual instrument and 8 audio tracks!
    What gives? I'm running the fastest machine on the fastest system with the fastest/cleanest hardware.
    I'm running Logic Pro on all of its highest settings (like it should). Of course I could drop the buffer size and unclick a few things here and there. but why? Is my machine powerful enough to handle it or not?
    I've deleted the plist a bunch of times and repaired hardisks and everything. any help from a certified LOGIC pro would be excellent and much appreciated! thanks in advance,

    ?It's highest settings?
    Do you mean the sample buffer is at 32 or 1024.
    Even though you have Apple's flagship system it's still possible for Logic to bring it to it's knees. High sample rates plus a couple of space designer reverbs can send a single core into an overload condition.
    Try these settings under Preferences/Audio.
    I/O Buffer Size - 256
    Process buffer - medium
    Do NOT have the I/O Safety Buffer selected.
    More info.
    What sample rate and bit depth are you recording at? ie: 48kHz, 24-bit?
    When you open Logic's CPU meters are you seeing a single core spiking?
    What effects are being used on the audio and single VI track?

  • ImpOSCar - Anybody using this with Logic pro 8

    I'm thinking of buying impOSCar to use with Logic. Is anybody here using this software synth? Any problems with multiple instances of the plugin? bugs / crashes etc? Demo seems to work just fine but just wanted to check before handing over the cash.

    One of my favourite softsynths.
    Be sure to also pick up my (and other) extra patches from GForceSoftware.com...
    Works great in Logic.
    And as a bonus, it's one of the synths that's had it's internal parameter specifically mapped for the Logic Control, so all the parameters are arranged in groups of 8, with all the related parameters together (so one group of 8 is OSC parameters, another is filter params, another is envelope params etc). This makes it one of the few synths that can quite comfortably be tweaked via a Mackie Control or anything using the same MCU protocol, and is a really nice attention to detail thing from the GForce chaps.
    Highly recommended.

  • Is anybody using macbook with logic pro ? impressions ??

    anybody ?
    or do you think its a good idea to run logic on it ?
    thanks

    cool
    i tried using logic with pb 12"
    but couldnt have any plug ins active when recording vocals or it records crackly.
    th escreen sizeis no problem, coz i set up screen sets , so f1 for 12 vocal tracks, f2 for next 12, f3 for mixer part 1, etc
    click of a button to see what you want big enough, i never really need to see all the tracks in one go
    i would have thought the ibook would have more problems than the pb !
    but maybe your studentis just using it for midi....
    which takes no power lol....
    anyone actually using a macbook with logic ?

  • Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

    I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
    What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

    Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
    -Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
    -Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
    -When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
    -Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
    -Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
    -Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

  • When using Safari on the iPhone can you watch videos and listen to music?

    Ok, this question might be stupid, but I just need to know.
    Lets just say I use the iPhone and use Safari to go on myspace.
    Can I watch a video on myspace? Can I listen to a song on someones profile??
    I know you can just click the Youtube button and instantly watch a video. But on all the videos of the iPhone using Safari, NO videos show the iPhone using Safari to watch a video and listen to music on a webpage.
    So can it?

    Speculating on whether/when Adobe Flash will be on iPhone is not permitted in Apple Discussions. But, you can read opinion elsewhere (there's no lack of it)... I'll give you a couple to start:

  • Using Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip with Logic Pro & MBox 3

    Hiya,
    I was wondering if you can help me please.
    I have a small little home studio that I am currently building (just to record vocals mainly to instrumentals as I am singer/songwriter).
    I am currently using Logic Pro 9 and MBOX Mini 3 as my midi interface but my producer who is based overseas told me to get a preamp. Many musicians have suggested I purchase Platinum Voicemaster Pro Vocal Channel Strip. CAN ANY CONFIRM WHETHER THIS WILL WORK WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND GIVE ANY ADVICE AS TO HOW IS THE BEST WAY TO USE IT WITH LOGIC PRO 9 AND MY MBOX MINI 3?
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
    RUSHELLA
    X

    Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
    What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
    When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
    Any suggestions?

  • Questions about Novation Remote 25SL integration with Logic Pro 8

    Preface: I have to apologize in advance if this seems somewhat confusing. I'm sure some of the terms I'm using are just plain wrong - I'm somewhat of a n00b.
    I have a Novation Remote 25SL configured to use AutoMap with Logic Pro 8 from Novation's website and most things are working well. It's confusing at times because sometimes I find it hard to tell what mode the keyboard is in, but that's ok - it's the least of my worries. Based on what I've seen through reading the manuals and my own experimentation, I have a couple of questions:
    - Despite what the guy at the store told me, I can't seem to figure out how to select different kits from within the SL. For example, if I have a garageband instrument selected on a track - can I use the data/select knob on the SL as it is now, or do I have to program that somewhere, somehow? Or if I have Ultrabeat on a track, can I use the knob to select the different kits/banks?
    - Is there a way to control non-Apple AU plugins like the rest of those which ship with Logic? All the sexy looking ones like Ringshifter, Compressor, Overdrive, etc. It seems odd that Remote will go into Mixer Automap mode and be able to control the certain portions of the instruments, but not the plugins that are automatically loaded into the channel strip when the instrument is loaded.
    - I have a 25 key Remote. In Ultrabeat, I find the key maps miss a chunk of notes between where the drum pads end and where the keyboard starts (or vice-verse). Is there a way to get it so each key has a mapping? 25 keys in Ultrabeat, 25 keys on the board plus 8 drum pads - seems like there's lots of room.
    Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

    Follow-up research:
    Apparently there is a driver conflict between the AlphaTrack and the ReMOTE. So far I have got the ReMOTE working - sort of - in Logic using the following method which was published at Novation's Answerbase:
    1. disconnect the alphatrack.
    2. launch Logic and then turn on the ReMOTE SL.
    3. Go into the Environment window, and add a Monitor Object. Connect it to the Remote SL's ports 2 and 3.
    So far, this seems to at least get MIDI note input into Logic, but the Automap function seems a bit sketchy so far. This will depend on Novation updating Automap and the SL's firmware for Logic 8.
    As noted previously, there doesn't seem to be any AlphaTrack support in Logic 8 yet and it's up to Apple to make it work. They do support their TranzPort product, so with luck there'll be support in the next update.
    I'd really love to use BOTH control surfaces with Logic simultaneously -- the AlphaTrack with the Mixer and plugins, the ReMOTE with Software Instruments. I suppose it might take some interesting mapping but this doesn't seem like that strange a setup -- there are plenty of "mixer surfaces" like the M-Audio one, and the Novation Automap stuff is quite popular....

    Can i use Avid mbox pro with logic pro x? And also which mac would be best for using avid pro tools 11

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • 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?

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

    hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9,  how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18  this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)
    I would like to be able to quickly bounce down my mixes,  through the Zed outputs. 

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!
