Problems with midi learn-novation launchkey

I have macbook pro 2014 i7,16 gb ram,1 tb ssd drive.

Using focusrite 2i2

novation launch key 49

 

I'm having trouble with midi learn on plugin parameters.The midi keyboard plays synths and controls faders/pan knobs through "launch control".When I right click a parameter and pick learn assignment and move knob on novation nothing happens.Also when I open the controller assignment learn dialogue box there is no "easy/advance mode" option and nothing happens.

I have done research and read a lot but still can't seem to get it working.On a side note the keyboard works fin in ableton

 

I appreciate any help

The controller may already be set up as a control surface in Logic. Choose Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Preferences > MIDI Controllers and see if the launchkey is already selected there?

There isn't anything there,you mean under the midi tab in preferences right?

Also the keyboard does play instruments as well as control the faders and pan knobs which it has since I bought it.But when I want to midi learn parameters it won't work 

you mean under the midi tab in preferences right?

No, look under Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Preferences, and click the MIDI Controllers tab.

I',m sorry,long day.Yea I'm there,but there isn't a novation listed

Ok so click on the icons to the right of the LCD display in Logic and choose "Custom." Turn a knob on your controller: can you see any MIDI data where it otherwise says "No in"?

The no in doesn't change,\

Where it says "no in"??

Underneath the "no in",it flashes back and forth between no out and 1 C-2

But what about where it says "No in" – not underneath. What happens where it says "No in" when you turn a knob?

Literally nothing

When I hit a key it displays note info

That means that knob is either not sending anything (and therefore cannot be learned), or it's already learned in Logic (check under Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments).

When I click on controller assignments it says no assignment selected,and there is nothing to scroll through

Can you share a screenshot? I think you may be looking in the wrong place. Make sure you follow the exact menu path I gave you? 

Here it is:

 

Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Advanced Tools and make sure all your control surface advanced tools are selected.

Dang,I'm sorry,Contol surfaces under advanced editing is now enabled,should I clear out all assignments?

It depends what your goal is.... you can clear out the assignments you don't need. Clear them all out if you don't need any of them. Clear only the ones you want if you want to keep the others...

There re some from two old midi keyboards,still can't map knob to plugin parameters

Also if there are duplicates,I should delete yea?

I'm not sure what I'm looking at,other than the "in control" midi mapping that novation did automatically,the rest were done just to automate a parameter for a project once

t So if I erased all these them,then for instance spacebar wouldn't start playback.I don't see why I can't map a knob to the big dynamics knob in kontact

It would, because spacebar starting playback is a key command, not a MIDI controller assignment.

If the knob is mapped in Logic's controller assignments, then its MIDI data will be used for that assignment and cannot be made available to Kontakt's own MIDI mapping functionality. If you delete that single assignment, then you won't disturb any of your other mapping, but you'll free up that single knob to be mapped in Kontakt.
