Fix Presonus Faderport problem when using it on Touch mode with Logic (and others DAW)


Recommended Posts

If your write automation in Touch mode with a Presonus Faderport in Logic, you should note that Logic release the automation after 2 seconds if the fader is not moving even if you keep the finger on the fader.

The problem is because the faderport send the wrong midi message to Logic to tell that you have pressed the fader.

The current message is a Poly aftertouch of value 1:

A0 7F 01

But it should be a Poly aftertouch of value 127:

A0 7F 7F

The way I have found to fix it is to use the application MidiPipe: https://midipipe.fr.softonic.com/mac

You have to setup Midi Pipe this way:

1- Midi In: Select Faderport

 

2- Applescript Trigger:

- Deselect "Pass through"

 

- Copy this script:

on runme(message)

if (item 1 of message = 160) and (item 2 of message = 127) and (item 3 of message > 0) then

set item 3 of message to 127

end if

return message

end runme

 

3- Midi Out: Select MidiPipe Output 1

 

Then you have to change the "Input Port" of the "FaderPort" of the "Control Surface Setup" of Logic:

- Select MidiPipe Output 1

 

Make sure that the MidiPipe is running with this setting when running Logic.

That's it!
