Automation Problems

What MIDI data is displayed as having been captured?

Prefs > Automation

Click "Edit" and let me know what it says under "input message".

(Also, if you're going to make further attempts to make it work, make sure Quick Access is actually switched ON in the Automation prefs pane).

That's weird... wondering how your keyboard could possibly be sending System Reset in response to the mod wheel. But in any event, that message is the problem.

If you've moved the Mod Wheel, you should see something similar to:

Control Change Ch 1, 7, Lo7

I suggest trying to program it again using the usual method: click on "Learn" and move the mod wheel. Then, click "edit" and see what controller message was recorded.

If you get the same response, experiment with the following: try another controller, i.e., sustain pedal, pitch bend, even a note. See if any of those will "stick". Lemme know what happens.

One correction to my above post... my example shows MIDI Volume (CC#7), not modwheel (CC#1).

Anyway, there's something seriously weird about your situation.

Try these things:

1. With Logic still up and running, switch your MIDI interfaces on and off, and then go into Logic Prefs and check "reset MIDI drivers". Then try the Quick Access assignment again.

If that doesn't work...

2. Shot in the dark: Do you have any other MIDI instruments' outputs connected to inputs on your MIDI interface? If do, disconnect them or turn those units off. Then, with only your one keyboard connected to the MIDI interface, repeat step 1.

If those things don't work, I hate to say it, but I don't know what else to advise.

Not that it will help but I have run into the same roadblock as you. Logic says

command learned, yet nothing changes. I finally gave up because I think it

has something to do with my keyboard. I have a fairly old Roland U-20. I

thought it could be how the keyboard is set up, I have tried modifiying the

midi setup but midi is still a foriegn language to me and after tweeking all

the settings the best I know, I still have had no luck. I have heard of people

that have had success though I am not sure with what keyboard or control

surface they used. I am considering buying one of the newer keyboards and

hope that might help though I am not going to spend too much, since I know

that Logics midi interactions with certain hardware and software is sometimes

very finicky to say the least. I have a BCF2000 surface controller that I got to

work great in a Logic Control emulation mode, but after trying to set up

Reason and Logic together (according to a tutourial link posted on this

board), it has gone insane. While trying to get Logic and Reason to rewire

together, Logic started sending non-stop midi commands and the control

surface started acting like it was possesed. I finally had to turn it off and it

has not worked normally since. Even after restoring default settings the thing

does not work. So all I can say is dont give up, but be prepared for anything.

I will post anything I find that is usefull.

You're welcome!
