OK.. then in the environment, select the fader, and in the Inspector, you'll see "Input" parameters for the fader. If your controller fader sends "Control #79" on MIDI Channel 1, then you want to set that in the fader's input parameters. And obviously make sure that this data is somehow routed to the fader, so in the click and ports layer, hijack that data (with a transformer) and route it to the fader - let me know if you need any help with that. Hi David! Really useful info! I am a Logic Pro X user. I would love to use your setup, really convenient!! I switch between three different monitors. I am doing so inside Plogue Bidule right now, I don't know if you are familiar with it. But I would love to do it from Logic Pro X. Much more convenient!! I´ll explain... I monitor through three different outputs in my setup. I have the Big monitors, the headphone amp, and the little mono monitor. All have their own DAC. I have them hooked up to the digital outputs of my apogee AD 16x set in advanced mode (It lets you have 16 extra digital outputs). Right now I am switching them from inside Plogue Bidule, and I am able to do so assigning computer keyboard F1 F2 and F3 keys to a switcher. I like the setup very much, but right now I am in a hybrid mix setup, where I output 48 tracks to an analog console and send the stereo output of the console to the input of the apogee AD 16x. I monitor that input track and I send it to the three different outputs, that have their own acoustic calibration. I use convolution and filters generated by third party apps like Audioveros Acourate to get a flat response. I even have my headphones corrected too with a calibration made with MINI DSP EARS unit. Really nice correction!! The Avantone little monitor has no correction obviously. No need. I could use the console´s control room to connect those different monitors and simplify extremely but then I could not enjoy the individual digital calibration of each one, and I also like to monitor the recording bus because that way I am hearing exactly how the mix will sound when captured. Lately I've been using some digital eq and compression on the recording bus that feeds the monitors. Some UAD plugins, really nice and convenient. I place those plugins in Plogue Bidule, which is my monitor station as I told you. The thing is that in order bounce a track with those plugins I have to copy them and their settings from Plogue to the recording bus in Logic which is a pain in the "back". Not convenient at all! So finally here is my question; is there a way that I can switch through the different monitors with for example the F keys of my computer keyboard and get rid of Plogue Bidule? I have midi controllers as well but I would love to use just the computer keyboard for this task, as I always have it right in front of me... and there are many times that I don't want to have my midi controller hooked up. If there is no way to do it with the computer keyboard I wouldn't mind to do it with my Novation Nocturn (little midi controller that would serve fine for this purpose), but again I would like to know if its possible with the computer keyboard. I followed your instructions but don't know how to hijack the data and route it to the fader in the click and ports window as you say. My knowledge of the environment is very limited to say the least! Thanks a lot and kindest regards from Madrid, Spain. Diego.

Hi guys! I have a question for you midi men and women! I havent been able to solve it myself and I am hoping that one of you can lead me to a workaround. I have an analog console, a D&R Cinemix with fader motorized automation that I control inside of Logic Pro via a plugin developed by GSI. I host the 32 bit vst plugin (no au version) inside of Plogue Bidule and it runs on 64 bit via 32 lives. Apparently it works with midi messages. With a midiman interface connected to the console. It does run smoothly. I am happy with this workaround. The thing is I use four buses of the console as my main buses, and I like them to be prefectly aligned between left and right channels. To do so, instead of moving them with my hand, I control those faders from a Novation Nocturn that I have, and assign the parameters inside Plogue Bidule to have one knob of the Nocturn control left and right bus 1, and so on. So when I move the knob the faders move perfecty stereo matched. This works well. I am trying to achieve having one of the Nocturns infinite knobs to control the relative values of the four main buses at once. So when I move the knob, the eight mono faders of the buses move simultaneously, but respecting their relative volumes. If bus A is at zero db, and bus B is at -10db i want to keep that relationship between them. For now all I have managed to do is to have one knob controlling the four buses, but as soon as I move it they all go to the same absolute position. I want to be able to move them up and down simultaneously to hit the main stereo bus harder or softer with one knob but changing only their relative values. Anyone knows how I could achieve this?!! I have tried from automap too, by selecting increment decrement value from those Nocturn knobs. The assignment doesnt work. I have fiddled around with Bidule too and I know there must be a way to do it, but I just can figure it out Thanks so much and kindest regards from Madrid. Diego.
