kuharido Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hi I have a couple of MIDI controllers that i'm trying to combine into one as one Virtualized unit. Let's call them Controller A and B My use case is that on some MIDI controlled tracks, i'd like to use A+B to control that track but not any others. The options on MIDI control in Logic don't support a A+B but either Off, All or one individual controller. Can this be accomplished somehow through the MIDI environment? I see there is an option to create a MIDI device but it too is limited to the same control options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscwilde Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 What are the devices? If directly supported as controllers by Logic (in the Control Surfaces window), you can "combine" them as a control surface group. If not directly supported, there may be ways to do what you want to do.....but first things first... Devices? What - specifically - do you want to do with them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuharido Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Not supported as control surfaces One is a generic three fader box, no brand name The other is a small keyboard controller that doesn't have a mod wheel and i'm using one of the faders as a mod wheel Setting MIDI IN on a track in Logic to All takes signal from both and everything works as expected, however in some cases when set to All i get MIDI loop issues due to other MIDI devices that are plugged in as well (and can't be turned off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rAC Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think you may need to tell us what all your MiDI connections are and exactly what devices they are, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting the track MIDI input source to All works just fine, however in some cases (e.g Latch Arppegio is on on the Sub37) it doesn't work properly as the Sub37 starts generating MIDI that causes a loop and prevents the arp from behaving properly, this doesn't happen if i press the keys on the Sub37 itself to trigger the latched arp, only if i'm ysing this other device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuharido Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Also for context i'm looking to avoid using different channels to solve this i only play any track once and need to control different VSTs by just moving the track selector from only these two keyboards (the sub37 and generic keyboard) so looking to keep things on one channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
