  1. Strange Behaviors, mystical machines! But yes, your suggestion seems the best option to do this.
  2. Actually I did it, and found something interesting, With two selected channels, both menu actions works fine (Main and Mixer) but with a selection of three and above, this bug occur.
  3. Yes, all other options works just fine, except this
  4. An old bug remains on the new 10.4 when you want to create a track stack form the mixer view. In this example y want to create a sum of 4 tracks and as you can see, this doesn´t happen. Only form this view happens, in the Arrange view works just fine. I´m under Sierra 10.12.6 iMac 27
  5. I change the Drum Map with Text Wrangler and it works just fine. In the Arturia miniLab MKII I´ve assigned each pad to a note inside Nepheton (I don´t know why there are double notes in the Factory drum map, maybe it´s the accented one) and assigned the MIDI note properly inside de Arturia MIDI control center. Now I trigger sounds with my pads in the most comfortable order to me. Here´s one example.
  6. HI! I´m gonna show you guys how I did my command assignation for the pads and knobs of the Minilab MKII inside logic to control common things like: Metronome on/off, save, markers, cycle and virtually any global command inside Logic. There´s no much info about it, no tuts and the manual of the Minilab doesn´t say anything substancial covering this topic and of course Logic Pro X is not the most friendly (in some cases) for assigning MIDI controllers so, this is how I made it: Materials 1.- DAW CONTROL: An app made by Vitaly Tarasuk. Very nice and very functional app that I used a lot before Apple decided to launch the Native Logic Control. Inside Logic this app appears as a Mackie Control compatible surface. 2.- MIDI MONITOR: A very simple app that allows you to monitor input and output MIDI messages 3.- ARTURIA MIDI CONTROL CENTER: Standard app for programing the functions and behavior of the pads and knobs of the Minilab Procedure 1.- With the Minilab properly connected and all the apps running and ready, open Logic Pro and go to Logic Menu/Control Surfaces/Controller assign. 2.- Click on the (+) sign below the Zone column to make a new Zone. Name it Minilab MKII 3.- Find the DAW Control assignation zone, depending the functions that you want there are many zones and inside the zones are different commands controlling different things, but in this example we want to control the SAVE assignation so let´s find it! 4.- Locate the CONTROL SURFACE:LOGIC CONTROL zone, inside this zone are a few controls assigned to it´s respective parameters, one of them is SAVE. 5.- Locate and Click on it to display the assignation route. 6.- Copy (cmd+c) the SAVE control and paste it inside the Minilab MKII zone that was created before. 7.- So far so good. click on it and change the input message route to: Minilab MKII and change the MIDI Channel to 10 (In my case that´s what I like) 8.- Go to Arturia MIDI control center and assign one of the pads with the exact same MIDI note, in this case looks like this: 90 50 Lo7. Below logic translate as NOTE CH1, G#4 Lo7 but I´m gonna change it to channel 10. 9.- Use MIDI MONITOR app to understand better the MIDI data that is send and received, it will help you to understand better the controller assignation if you have doubts inside the MIDI control center, specially with knobs and values. 10.- That´s all! Basically I´ve copied all the Logic control assignments to my Minilab MKII Zone and tweaked to CH10 and assign those inside the MIDI control center and save them to a memory slot in the Minilab. You can do it with any command you like just changing the command form the menu. Things that I want to control and still no figure it out how to do it: On/off all the plugins inside a channel strip with one button. That would be cool! Hope you find this useful!
  7. Let´s look at the next scenario: When you connect an iPad Air via lightning cable to an iMac an you open the Audio Options, it appears as an audio device with two input channels. Then, go to Logic Pro X, open it and the option for use the iPad as an input device pops up, click ok and voila! now you have an input device for synth apps and drum machines apps that you can record directly with zero noise artifacts to your DAW. So far so good. (Discover by a happy accident really) Lets say for example that you connect a guitar via iRig interface (in my case) and use some of the amps inside Garage Band and then you want to record that sound directly into Logic like all the other thing in garage band...bad news. The iRig interface has an 1/8 plug output for headphones and when is connected to the iPad the sound is routed to this output instead to the lightning cable output. Damn! My question is: there is a way to go around this? An iPad interface wich accepts the cable usb out and not the headphone outs? Any iPad output hack, connector/adapter? Thanks in advance
