ValliSoftware Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 ...but not for controller assignments. Got the solution and it's not a workaround but a smart solution and yes pun intended. Use Smart Controls on the ES2 for Automation. At the bottom of the ES2, click on the right arrow to display MIDI Mono Mode.Set to On (with common base channel 1), but then... ...set it back to Off. Then try to automate with a control on ES2. Don't need to do this anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Got the solution and it's not a workaround but a smart solution and yes pun intended. Use Smart Controls on the ES2 for Automation. But it is a workaround (although definitely the best one yet). However, we should be able to make assignments using all available options, not just via Smart Controls. J.

ValliSoftware Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 But it is a workaround... J. No it's not. A workaround is what I found by turning on and off the MIDI Mode. That's a workaround because it's not documented anywhere in the Logic Manuals. Smart Controls are documented so they're not a workaround. If there was no bug with the ES2 for Automation, you'd have two solutions, not one solution and one workaround. In fact another solution would be what you suggest with The Environment. Yes, The Environment is a solution because that is documented as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) If you use a different function to achieve the same results of a function that is broken, than that's a workaround. Edited October 4, 2014 by Eriksimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 @Vallisoftware, Call it what you like. The fact is (and this isn't documented in any official documents) that making MIDI assignments (there's no problem with actual automation, like you say) both through the Controller Assignments function and through Smart Controls results in data being written to the control surfaces preferences file. Being forced to use only one of them (even if it's just for the ES2) because the data is not being written to that file cripples a program that has always been about personalized workflows (at least that's how one of my teachers "sold" it to me 15 years ago). And it makes it...a workaround. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 This is a typical workaround. This bug only affects ES2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoid Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 This most definitely is a bug. I tried it in the 10.10.1 pre-release and it's still happening. I reported it through the feedback form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Fixed in Logic Pro X 10.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
