norwegiantonyiommi Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi! I'll start off by saying that I've used logic for about 24 hours. I've managed to connect my Korg Kontrol MIDI-controller to my iMac and assigning some effects to it. I have recorded something with my keyboard, made a loop, and currently tries to create some "On the Run"-like effects (Pink Floyd) - which works out perfectly. I press play, turn the knobs, and the recorded music changes with that turning. But, if I try to actually record the effects that I'm using by turning the knobs, I see some green stuff in the track (see picture 2). So basically, my question is - how do I record/apply the MIDI-controller effects onto the recorded track? Thanks in advance! Picture 2 - the green stuff.

David Nahmani Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If you used Logic's controller assignments feature to learn a controller knob, then use Track Automation to record your movements: set the channel strip's automation mode to touch or latch, press play and tweak.

norwegiantonyiommi Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 That worked, at least partly. I have assigned 7 features to 7 knobs (numerated 1-7), but only number 4 and 5 works (both on latch and touch). And with "works", I mean that they make these squiggly lines which I suppose indicate that they have been recorded. The effects assigned to the two knobs that do record when I turn them... its sine level and chorus intensity. Whereas for instance Macro cutoff doesn't get recorded, but when I listen to it while I play I can hear it. Why does only some types of effects get recorded, do you know? _______________ Edit: And by the way, how do I delete the recorded effects without deleting the track/instrument? It asks me "do you want to delete the automation data also", when it's just the automation data I wish to delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A macro is a knob that remotely controls several parameters. When you are recording automation and tweak a macro knob, all the parameters it controls are being recorded - but not the macro button itself. Edit: And by the way, how do I delete the recorded effects without deleting the track/instrument? It asks me "do you want to delete the automation data also", when it's just the automation data I wish to delete. Track > Track Automation > Delete... you can also Shift-drag around nodes in Automation view and press Delete on your keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
