metes57 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi: I'm trying to use an Akai MPK mini's pads to control the mute buttons for individual tracks. When I assign the mute button for track #1 it maps it to the mute button for the stereo out strip. I have another controller that "sometimes" maps functions I choose, but then only mutes the last channel I mapped, no matter what controller button I have mapped to individual tracks. I want to be able to press a button on a controller and have it mute or unmute a track, and to be able to press another controller button and have it mute or unmute a different track. Surely this must be possible in Logic? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 How did you proceed to make your assignment? Have you been using the Akai editor software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metes57 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi: I used expert view to make my assignments. I set the Channel Strip to "Fader Bank" instead of the default "Selected Track" but to no avail. When set to "fader Bank" the mute operation quits working via the controller. I did download the Akai software but it doesn't seem to work. I tried it on my old computer a couple of years ago, but despite registering it etc, it never did function. I have tried using my other controllers but I still get the same results. All of my controllers work well with Mainstage. I'm using a new 15" MacBook Pro, 16 GB, Mojave 10.14.6, Logic 10.4.8. My controllers are, Behringer FCB1010, Akai APC mini(I know it is designed for Ableton, but it works with Mainstage) and the Akai MPK mini. I've looked at all the various MIDI setting windows and tried a variety of different settings, but nothing works as I need it to. Any clues? Thanks!!!

metes57 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi: Yes I've tried the syntonization steps. The Akai MPK doesn't have presets or a display. Since I have the same issue with all of my controllers I doubt it is on the controller side of things. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 In the Control Surfaces prefs / Midi Cintrollers tab, does your MPK is listed in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metes57 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 None of my controllers show up in that window. When I go to setup it won't let me add any controller either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
