blazeneon Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi guys, I'm new to Logic, Macs and USB MIDI interfaces, but not to recording. I have a new Macbook Pro running Logic Pro 9, and I've just bought a Roland (Cakewalk) A-300Pro. I went through the set up correctly and I can play soft instruments in Logic fine. MIDI is also set up correctly. The problem I'm having is controlling Logic with it. The manual is "brief", and I think it's assuming too much. I can see that I'm sending MIDI info, but the faders and rotary encs have no effect at all. I've been struggling with it for a couple of days now, and would appreciate any help at all. I've googled the problem without success. Thanks, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 To learn your rotary encoders and faders, use the Quick Guide to using a MIDI controller with Logic. For buttons (Play, Stop, Rewind...), open the key command window (Preferences > Key Commands), find and select the desired command (Play, Stop etc..), click "Learn New Assignment" at the bottom right, and press the key on your keyboard.

blazeneon Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks for the reply David, The problem solved itself somehow - not sure what I did! However, it has sparked some curiosity in me as to how it all works, so thanks for the tips. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
