  1. Well, I made something that works. If anyone has anything slicker feel free to show me that I walked around the block to get nextdoor. If the description seems a bit pedantic at times, it is just to cover bases for someone who's never used a tempo fader, etc. Anyway, here goes: In click & ports, Port 2 is where the tempo info of the Novation comes through. Channel 16, controller 94 & 95. The way it works is CC95 is the bpm value and CC94 is the rollover (ie: CC94=0 is bpm up to 127, CC94=1 is bpm 128 through 255, and so on). bpms 20-127 can be taken at face value for CC95, while a bpm of 135 would show up as CC94=1 CC95=7. Hook up a monitor and watch the #'s and it will make better sense. First off create a tempo fader and set its input to "Control" on Channel "16" and the data byte 1 to "95=Phaser" (field right below Channel labeled "-1-"). The "=Phaser" is not relevant in this usage, but is just a default label for CC95. The tempo fader has a range of 0-127, but the tempos it affects are in the more usable range of 50-177, therefore you can't simply take the value that you see from the Novation and expect it to match the tempo you get out of the tempo fader. Plug from the monitor you created from Port 2 into the tempo fader and notice that the numbers that show in the monitor CC95 value are 50 less than the resulting project bpm. It's easy enough to stick a transformer in there looking at CC95 and then subtracting 50. The problem with this is that you only get values up to 127 bpm, because when the Novation is at 128 the message is CC94=1, CC95=0... so the tempo fader, looking at CC95 thinks it is only starting at the bottom of the scale. In fact, you need to go another 50bpm on the Novation to get the project tempo to start rolling up above 50. This is where I pulled my hair out. I tried to think of a way to look at if CC94 was 0 or 1 and split that and add a certain amount, etc. Nothing really worked. Finally I came up with this solution, of course this only works for the range of the tempo fader (50bpm - 177bpm) so if you are writing music out of that range and need to tap your tempo you'll just have to look at the tempo of the novation and manually set the project tempo to match. Overview: The line coming in comes from Port 2. The tempo was at 125 and using the Novation's tempo rotary I cycled it up to 129 so you could see the rollover deal Split rollover Transformer: splits data into two feeds, one for values below the rollover, and one for those above. 128-177: Cabled to top out of Split Rollover transformer 51-127: Cabled to bottom out of Split Rollover transformer
  2. I have seen similar behavior in the drummer track - sometimes I will adjust something like the fill amount, or hi-hat open/close dial, move on to a different region, and upon coming back to adjusted region the changes are back to default.
  3. I'm talking about tap tempo from the Novation through Automap. Not related to Logic's tempo interpreter, which works the same as always. Make sure the pref. setting didn't get switched back to internal rather than manual. You can put a 'sync' button in the control bar to make this easier.
  4. What you do is make cuts and copies of the regions, then apply the settings to the regions. each region remembers it's setting, and they seem to anticipate changes and generally have a good flow.
  5. I have the Remote SL (not the MKII). Anyone able to get their Novation device running Automap 4.7 to output the tap tempo into Logic? I can do it with 3.4.1, but not beyond. I was fine with that version, but LPX only barely works with it. L9 64bit does not recognize the tempo either, only L9 32 bit. I don't like Logic's tempo interpreter at all, although the new one when you start a template works. I'd like to be able to do it from the controller, after I've started a project, and not using Logic's tempo interpreter if possible. Any tips?
  6. Thanks for the heads up. Gotta love pointing out a flaw they've already fixed
  7. With a multi-out instrument that has mono outs available you click the + and pull up the first stereo out. Say you want that to actually be one of the later mono outs: you used to be able to click the format button and make it mono, then be able to select the mono inst. output you wanted. Now you have to first select "no input" on the aux to gain access to the format button.
  8. I am running a dual boot test because I am a chicken and SL + 9.1.5 works so well. Forgot to change sig.
  9. Works here. I didn't know you could do that, I was using the fade tool preference before. I might like this better.
  10. You also cannot view icons only in the toolbar. I think it's been mentioned that you can't customize the layout of the toolbar in the same way you could before, and in the way that most Apple (Finder for instance) software can. I really liked having several buttons up there for things I don't want to assign to my ShuttlePro, and to have it be small and unobtrusive.
  11. You're thinking of the EVOC Polysynth - an instrument. Try the EVOC Track Osc. which is an insert effect.
  12. You can vocode any two signals with the EVOC track oscillator. On the left is a place to select whether you use track or sidechain for analysis, and track/side/osc for synthesis.
  13. I would like to hear your thoughts on the compiling side as well, please.
  14. I don't have that preset either, so it's hard to tell what the OP wants vs. what he's getting. It could just be the difference between a polyphonic LFO & a monophonic one?
