djdave057 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi all. Glad to come across this forum. I need some help with a control surface. I am running LogicPro 7.2.3 with a Tascam FW-1082 firewire interface and control surface. I recently updated the drivers to the UB version (1.6). Everything is working ok, except that fact that the track selection bank on the arrange window has a bank of 11 tracks (the appropriate number of tracks for the control surface is 8 ). Tracks 1 through 8 have the color represented for the Tascam in the Control surface setup window. Tracks 9-11 are light blue. What does this group represent? When I shift through the banks, I don't have access to those 3 tracks that are grouped together. Does this make any sense? I have deleted and re-installed the tascam in the control surface window, and everthing in the environment seems to be normal? Am I missing something? I am assuming that this is a Logic/Envirnment related problem. I called tech support at Sweetwater, and they agreed. Any thoughts? Has anyone else run into this with any other control surface? Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtonic Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I also have this control surface. The banks on the unit appear to take their cues from the way your Arrange is setup, despite whatever setting you could have set in the Control Surface setup (Arrange, Global, Mixer). Double check that in case I'm out to lunch, because there isn't much documentation on how the FW-1082 behaves with Logic (besides the Logic Pro Control Surface Support PDF, which at this point I'm realizing I've neglected to read, but focuses more on the FW-1884). Because of this, my autoload has 2 sets of 8 instruments for each object type with 1 set hidden (16 audio tracks, 8 hidden, 16 audio instrument tracks, 8 hidden, so on). I believe that the next bank over should just continue along with how your arrange is set up - it shouldn't matter what channels those are. I don't believe the track colors effect the control surface, but I'm not positive on that. Your track NUMBERS should be continuous for the flow you're looking for. Check out the Tascam Forums, a member supported forum, which may indicate how well supported the Tascam stuff is… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtonic Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 20 seconds after my reply I see what you're saying with the colors. The orange color indicates what tracks are currently represented on the control surface. My guess is that the light blue is what you've assigned those tracks - but if you change it to orange it won't matter at all. Is that light blue on the left or the right?

djdave057 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 The light blue is on the same side (the left side). It appears to be under the Tascam Color. When I delete the Tascam in the Control Surfaces setup window and return to the arrange window, the tascam's color will disappear, but the blue will stay there for a little while (covering the left side of 11 tracks). It's almost as if it's reading another control surface with 11 faders. I'm going to check all my other settings right now.. Thanks for your help.

gsilbers Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 if u have 2 colors on the tracks, its that its recieving 2 controllers at the same time. so its your setup of 2 controllers or your only contrroller is being doubled. hapened to me when i ran the controller setup and added 2 controllers virtualy and only one controller. if u get more than 8 tracks then some other knobs might be transmitting fader movemtns. by the way, what setup/instaltion u made? im having trouble with my controller, all faders will only move the fader that its selected on the arrange. was your controller in the list of controller on logic controller setup.?

djdave057 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Where can I look to either re-set the defaults, or delete the extra controller that is being shown? I'm running LogicPro7.2.3 with the Tascam 1.60 UB drivers. There is also an Axiom49 connected through a usb port, but I don't use the faders for much of anything in Logic. I still can't figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtonic Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Do you have the Axiom set up as a control surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdave057 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I figured it out. I have a liquid mix connected, and for some reason it was reading it as a control surface with 11 banks. Very strange.... but thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
