sandbags Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've posted about this on the Spectrasonics group but I figured it would be as well to ask here also. I'm using Stylus RMX 1.8.2d in Logic 9.0 and trying to automate the chaos designer on/off for a part. I enabled host automation and touch the chaos on/off button on an RMX part. This recorded automation data in my track but, rather than being called, for example, "Pt1ChaosEnabeld" it's just called "Level". On further investigation rather than being a binary value (like plugin enabled parameters) it is continuous from 0.0 to 1.0. Now values a little above 0.0 do turn the chaos designer on/off *light* on and off. But, in fact, they don't actually control the chaos designer itself. I noticed that, although the light comes on, no chaos effects take place. While cycling around I hit the on/off control manually and the light stayed on and chaos started. So it seems like it's automating *something* but not the part chaos controls. Has anyone else tried this in either Logic 8 or 9? Any help much appreciated.

buzwah Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 To turn Chaos on/off using Automation I use Midi Learn to control it from say a fader on my Midi Controller. Then go to Logic & in record mode move the fader. In my RMX the Chaos acts normally although don't forget that Chaos is designed to be a random thing so even by turning it on/off you will never get the same Chaos twice. For that "capture"as in the Spectrasonics video is what you'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbags Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 To turn Chaos on/off using Automation I use Midi Learn to control it from say a fader on my Midi Controller. Thanks but I really did want to draw in automation rather than mapping MIDI controllers and recording. I've since made it work although it's a little glitchy which makes me suspicious of an issue in either RMX or Logic 9. There's also a parameter naming problem but, hopefully, that too can be addressed since the underlying problem has been solved in Logic 9.

Eric Cardenas Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It works for certain things. But I don't think you can automate the pattern or others parameters in slicemode. Reverse works thou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse works thou! In this case what I was automating was, effectively, reverse and buzz. I'd already created my MIDI regions. Short amounts of buzz through a dubby delay sound good to me!

Matt OK... those definitely work but not in conjunction with each other. Reverse will always take over. The parameters that do not work in slice mode are: Pattern, Repeat and Timing.

Audiogrocery Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I enabled host automation and touch the chaos on/off button on an RMX part. This recorded automation data in my track but, rather than being called, for example, "Pt1ChaosEnabeld" it's just called "Level" Here it works perfect ( I mean the Chaos Designer On/Off host automation with Logic 9 ). I suspect some mess in your "learn list", so could you try to "Clear All" which will reset your RMX learn assignments and try to learn from clear list...

I noticed something that looked odd: Part 1 Edit Group: Main Parameter: ChaosOnOff Host Automation Id: 0 Parameter: ChaosOnOff Host Automation Id: 74 Parameter: ChaosOnOff CC: 8 Channel: 1 Parameter: ChaosOnOff Host Automation Id: 76 i.e. 3 automation id's for the same part parameter. I asked about this in a thread in the Spectrasonics yahoo group that GlennG posted in but he didn't respond. I'll try your suggestion, thanks.

I expected this mess in your list ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
