oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I've got my FCB1010 MIDI foot controller's 2 expression pedals controlling Valhalla Vintage Verb's decay, and Baby Audio's Comeback Kid's feedback, as well as two pedals controlling the bypasses for each plugin. Works great when I play along with drummer. When I try to record the audio with Latch or Touch turned on to get the midi data from the FCB1010 while I play, all holy hell breaks loose. While recording, when I turn a bypass on, it turns off a few beats later. Then a bit more random on/off, then settles into on, after about 30 seconds-ish. Particularly the Comeback Kid. Such strange behavior....I've tried everything - deleting the plugins, deleting the track, deleting the automation - MIDI Monitor shows nothing/no problems. Again, plays great when not recording the MIDI, only that triggers madness. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 I should mention - this also happens with the expression pedals (jumping from max to min suddenly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution JakobP Posted November 1, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Use Latch, sounds like you're in Touch mode ? Edited November 1, 2023 by JakobP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Both do this. In Read mode, all good. Computer too slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you assign the expression pedals and the switches exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) I'm using Cmd-L.... I touch a plugin's control, press Cmd-L, move FCB footpedal, press Cmd-L again to prevent any weirdness. Rinse and repeat. Please see screenshot as example. As you can see, barely anything going on. Essentially, when the problem gets going, whatever I do (either press a pedal to bypass on/off, or an move expression pedal), the signal flips shortly after (I bypass the delay, it turns on again a second later....or I depress the expression pedal to make the feedback stop, and it comes back to full a second later. Earlier I had mentioned this only happened when in Touch or Latch mode, but it was happening this AM in Read mode too, so I deleted all Automation on the track, and that fixed it. So it's definitely Touch/Latch that instigates the odd behavior. I tried restarting the FCB1010, replugged in everything, same issues. Is there something going on between the FCB and the Value area of the Controller Assignments window? In particular, the Format and/or Mode? The MIDI Monitor doesn't show any random signal spikes, so I can't think of anything else.... Edited November 1, 2023 by oranj7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Just realized it was indeed Touch vs Latch. Duh. Thank you JakobP, and David.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Ok so now working as expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oranj7 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Affirmative, thank you. Quick question David - can you offer any links re: Logic Pro's Controller Assignment window that really explain in great detail the whole right side of Expert view? (Controller Assignment Parameters, MIDI Input Message, and Value areas in particular.) I realize there is the Logic Pro instructions, but they are very thin in actual demos - I've found a video or two that try to explain, but they really just suffer thru trying to fig it all out on video, so I don't learn much...

David Nahmani Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Great, good to hear. Regarding the Controller Assignment window, see the following PDF guide, especially starting at page 16: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
