Using the Oxygen USB connection midi is whack. Using physical Midi interface solves problem. USB case ... There are certain *notes* that (in my case f2 & g2) that 1) either aren't recognized - ( nothing displays in monitor window of clicks and ports environment view) 2) send only a note off command 3) send a note (rarely) that hangs If I change the octave setting on the controller (Oxygen 49) the problem follows the notes, not the physical keys. It's in the Mavericks - Logic code or M-Audio driver. ESX sampler instruments LPX OSX - Mavericks 10.9 macbook pro 8Gig

I did read the manual and did not see a statement to that effect. Thanks for the quick reply - and all your other work.

The FM says... "One situation in which you might use an alias assigner is when switching a delay line alias between different originals (different delay line objects), each set to different delay times. This method is one of several ways to provide MIDI control over delay time." Since I have no freaking idea what alias assigner is I am very interested in what the SEVERAL other ways are. I hope one is ... ah...." tweak CC#xx for delay time." Oh god I hope so. Is there a Midi Map available for Instruments/ effects and particularly environment objects like the delay line / arpeggiator (besides "offsets to the base") ?

You know - somewhere in the back of my mind I KNEW if I started a thread about getting this guy shaving with a Stihl up as an avatar it would end with a buckwheat reference. Darndest thing.

Here is a widget to sync modes and screensets. if you are changing your controller mode (a particular mapping of your knobs and faders to logic widgets and key commands) you are then likely to want to be looking at a different sceenset. Changing CC28 will change your mode and sceenset in sync: screenset 1 and mode1 will change to screenset 2 and mode 2 when you bump the fader.Mousing on the widget gets the same behavior IF you change the mode display. The reverse is NOT true; so you can change screensets AND retain your current controller mode. Of course you can tweek the macro so its all independant if you prefer. To use this: 1) set a fader on your master controller to CC28 with a limited value range (so the fader isnt too "touchy") 2) Create an IAC bus (using Audio Midi setup Utility) and make sure the output of the MacroOut instrument goes to your IAC bus. 3) Have your (no mode) mappings send to the IAC as below. (Tip: The first -audio- set is BF 01) I put widget in the environments Global layer so it pops up on *most* of my sceensets. You can make a frameless ENV window if you have a screenset without an env window. Thanks to the guys who posted about mode switching in a thread i cant find now. You know who you are. screenAndMode.logic.zip

As you can see you were spot on scott. I used a different google service that doesnt use https. Thanks for your help. And Shiver - Let me know how I can change the photo to be more to your liking. A different angle perhaps?

StillInhaling is my site. I took the hyphen out. Photo gives Shiver flashbacks to a particularly stormy voyage - nothing unusual there. I'm thinking that the secure http is most likely now. Usually it is a browser that accepts this handshake and in this case we ask the server to do so and perhaps doing secure things is not really its cup of grog.

I have a "bank" of 6 instrument channels I'm manipulating in a layer focused keyboard functions (solo, layered, split options, delay router, an arpeggiator, etc) What I would like to do is have the 6 strips change simultaneously with a Program Change message such that ChannelA=000-x ChannelB=001-x ... ChannelF=005-x changes to ChannelA=006-x ChannelB=007-x ... ChannelF=008-x So I built the appropriate transformer map and it seems only the last strip in the chain ever works. I tried to insert delays between the strips thinking its reasonable for the engine to protect the loading process. I tried the IAC tricks (usinf 6 different busses) with no luck. What is keeping me from changing 6 strips with one (manipulated) message? Any ideas?

Thanks - I realize if David sees trouble and I'm referred to Mr. Timbers I've gone into the weeds a bit. Just in case anyone wants to think this through with me, this is what I would pursue unless further dissuaded: Somehow get a midi message (TBD) to trigger (create) a "macro" of sorts (not an environment macro but a series of further midi messages) one to select properly, the last mapped to the key command as mentioned earlier. My fear is that I will go to the trouble to figure this out only to have the final message command fail because there seems to be an interpreter of sorts that eats these things BEFORE they get into the environment if you know what I mean. Thanks again - you guys make the struggle tolerable

THANK YOU very much. Can I assign the key command to to a controller button such that it will enable/disable a SPECIFIC audio strip; ex "audio1." I got to this point before but cant get the controller to BOTH select the channel AND execute the key command. Thanks for your thoughts!

Can you enable/disable input monitoring with a controller assignment?

I have several audio channel strips (fed from a 'guitar in' channel) with different effects on each and have assigned faders on an Oxygen to control volumes. I can achieve the results I want (live mixing of guitar 'voices' in logic) by assigning Oxygen buttons to MUTE the channels BUT leaving effect heavy audio strips with INPUT MONITORING ENABLED is not scalable cpu-wise. I tried to replace the MUTE assignments with TOGGLE INPUT MONITORING assignments. Normal method cant seem to do this. Now I'm thinking midi-key command but then I have to make a filter macro to select the target strip before the enable/disable -and maybe the weeds are getting pretty deep. Does anyone know how to do this 'correctly'? Or to achieve this capability differently? Thanks for your thoughts!
