YitZ Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Can anyone help me figure this out? Whenever I try panning with my control surface Logic only registers hard right (+63) hard Left (-64) or Center (0). I originally thought it had something to do with the control surface but when I use the pan button on my control surface with other software I am able to get incremental adjustments. Only Logic displays this behavior. When I use my mouse to pan I can get incremental but not with the control surface. What am I missing here? Thanks, Yitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacki Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Is that an XTouch? Why not use it "out of the box" without going through individual assignments? My guess is that the other software uses the built-in integration for it. Many DAW controllers have a special protocol that involves sending one command for "knob is turned to the right" and another one for "knob is turned to the left" and not the actual value of the knob. The software then figures out the value. It's a bit like an increment/decrement controller. This is one of those situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YitZ Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 I should add that it used to work incrementally with Logic in the past. I only opened it up in Controller Assignments to see what was goin on. It has always been set up as Mackie Control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution simon.a.billington Posted September 12, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 12, 2021 Sometimes this has to do with telling Logic what kind of "values" its working with. Whether it's Signed, Unsigned, 1's Compliment, 2's Compliment... if I recall correctly. Short story, this is related to what "format" the values are transmitted in. Having the wrong format could possibly lead to the kind of behaviour you're experiencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Yes - best try a "rebuild defaults" and/or remove the control surface from Logic and get it to re-add it, sounds like some of your controller assignment settings are changed from what they should be.

YitZ Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 OK I figured out the solution. “Rebuild Defaults” did not help. Neither did deleting the Mackie Controller and re-installing. What made the difference was a setting in the “Control Surface Setup” there is a setting towards the bottom for “Relative Change Mode”. By default it is set to “Full”. In order for panning to be incremental it needs to be set to “Fine”. (NOT “Course” or “Full”). [i’m happy I figured this out because it was getting to be a “pan in the neck” ] I hope this helps anyone else who has this issue. Thank you all for your replies!!!

facej Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 interesting - my X-Touch does panning just fine with the setting on 'Coarse'. Moving my V-Pots changes the pan level by +/- 1 for each "click". 'Full' does the expected -64, 0, +63. 'Fine' does the same thing as 'Coarse' - 1 click left or right at a time.
