hammerpocket Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I'm recording a part using Logic's Vintage B3 instrument. I have both an expression pedal and a sustain pedal plugged into my midi controller. Expression automatically controls the B3 volume and I used the midi learn function to set the sustain pedal to control the Leslie rotation speed (slow/fast). These work great when I perform the part, but upon playback their effects are not heard. I can use the pedals to control the sound during playback. What do I need to do to have these controllers recorded? I don't remember having this problem recording with a sustain pedal on piano instruments.

enossified Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 First double check the event list to see if the CCs#11 and #64 were indeed not recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicben Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Strange, it should be recorded like any other midi event/note. Do you have any Filter enabled? File > Project Settings > Midi > Input Filter Is it visible in the Environment > Click & Ports ? Environment Is it visible in the Midi Activity Display?

Solution fuzzfilth Posted September 9, 2020 Solution Share Posted September 9, 2020 Since you've manually assigned the controller to a plugin parameter, enable Automation and set the track to either Latch or Touch, then hit Record or Play and move the controller.

hammerpocket Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Okay, I was able to take fuzzfilth's advice and get it working. Strangely, my sustain pedal doesn't show up in the midi input in the environment. The expression pedal does. However, I realized I hadn't used the expression pedal in the organ part, so I don't know if it would have recorded correctly or not. I'll have to check that later. Incidentally, the rotary cabinet has more controls than I would expect and I'm not exactly getting the effect I want. Using "rotor speed" it seems to go instantly from slow to fast instead of ramping up. I need to experiment with the other three parameters that all refer to the rotor/motor. Thanks for the help.

fuzzfilth Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Sustain events are not reaching the Environment because you grabbed them to control a plugin parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerpocket Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Sustain events are not reaching the Environment because you grabbed them to control a plugin parameter. Okay. I guess I thought the environment input view was a lower-level process that would show everything coming in from through the midi interface before it was processed in any way. Especially as it's displayed as being directly connected to the physical input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 And I wouldn't blame you for thinking so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
