JT3_Jon Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hello, I'm trying to quickly assign a midi learn an effect insert parameter, and in the past In 32-bit mode I've simply followed the instructions on this page and everything worked great: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=432 However, I'm trying to midi learn the mix parameter on a softube insert plugin and its not working! Whenever I click the "midi learn" button it will quickly flash to what looks like the parameters for the softube plugin, but it doesn't stay to let me assign anything! Anyone know whats going on, or better yet how to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT3_Jon Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I just found this environment - http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=60367&highlight=midi+learn+insert Should I use this instead? Seems silly to have to go thought all this in the environment, but if I must then I must. it should be possible to then assign this to a midi expression controller, right?

ski Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just looked at that environment. Man, what a mess that is in Logic 9! I'm working on something for you. Won't be done until tomorrow, but basically it'll let you take any controller on your, er, controller and convert it either to any other CC or a Fader Event. L8R!

JT3_Jon Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 wow. So midi learn is messed up win 64-bit Logic 9.1.5, or does it simply not work with 3rd party stuff? I thought I was able to do this in the past very easy with the process linked in my first post, but perhaps I'm mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I don't use the learn function because in the past I've found it to be too flaky, so I can't shed any light on how well it works. One thing you can try in the meantime is to quit Logic and trash your control surface preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.logic.pro.cs Then re-launch Logic and try the Learn function again.

JT3_Jon Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah, that worked. Weird that preferences get corrupted like that. Makes me very weary of relying on them for serious work, so this idea of a possible environment that allows for the same functionality would be very helpful if you're willing to update that old environment. As you said, it doesn't seem to translate well to Logic 9. In the mean time I'm going to look more into midi learn, as it does seem to be a very cool function! I really like how they seem to be controller specific, rather than just midi CC specific. They also seem to be plugin specific as well, and are a global rather than song specific, which can have some advantages, in particular setting up controllers for my favorite parameters and knowing they will never change song to song....at least until the plugins get corrupt again! Maybe I can work out some sort of backup system for the preferences incase the get corrupt again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
