learning the faders from a novation xstation

[sageev]

hi

i'm trying a novation x-station, and attempting to map the faders onto certain parameters on my logic mixer view. but when i move the faders on the xstation, no signal shows up. has anyone had experience with this? eg. is there some setting that i've overlooked?

thanks,

sageev

Are you on play-mode or controller mode??

 

By default, the x-station turned on is on controlle rmode and some of the controls on the template (it's B4 I think as I changed it to something I use much more) are not activated (when you turn the knob, he x station displays 'no control'

 

There's an empty template where all controls are activated but not assigned (called midi cc learn IIRC). I use that template myself to start assigning knobs and faders.

i was in control mode, but had just come across templates online after posting, thanks, that was the missing piece. i had assumed plug-n-play ease. under a time crunch i found some default templates that can be downloaded for it (including one for logic), and a template "editor" that can upload the template to the x-station. so i used that for now, although to be honest i was flailing around randomly until it happened worked.. will try to go back later and understand how the templates actually work.

thanks.

Sorry I assumed you knew about the template editor. Actually you can do all within the x station but it's much more easy in this computer world to click and type. I use it also to narrow the midi range of sliders or knobs.

 

Happy I could help in some way.
