KeystationPro88 Controller Assingments (Again): FAO mattrixx & muzak & ...

Does your setup change regularly? ie Do you disconnect other USB midi devices?

I came across this problem a long time ago. I have several controllers (UMX25, Trigger finger, Pro88, AMT8 etc) and when you disconnect one of them, the order of devices gets messed up and the controller assignments are all screwed.

For example, I have a whole bunch of functions assigned to the buttons of my UMX25 and I used to add a BCF2000 on occasion, to my setup for some additional faders.... this would in turn make all my set assignments on the UMX all dissappear.

Could it be, that something like this is happening in your case?

To make it doubly confusing... If you use the normal midi assignments in the Key Commands window and not the learn controller assignments, you can actualy achieve some global assignments, with some caveats.
This will allow you to assign, for example, 'next plugin setting' to Prog change button 8.... and it will work for all controllers sending that command.

It's all a bit hit or miss, until you get a real handle on what is happenning.

Ultimately, it would be ideal, if unplugging, or turning off a usb midi device, left things alone, but it just doesn't!

Ah, ha, whas up Steve,
I think maybe there's something you're missing; when you enter the learn mode the button is enabled. That far you've gotten, now when you exit from the learn process don't hit the learn button again or your assignments will be deleted just close the window. All I meant about saving is the entire file. Getting logic to use a different track then the one selected seems to be impossible unless you select them all/moved by the same controller.

If none of this is news then you may want to take a look at the thread you originally started, when I brought that back up it was because my Ozonic has some buttons completely unusable.

Alright!
I know that one is kind of like, duh, why does it have to be like that. Now you should be able to get into the key commands via the preferences menu, there you can assign record/play and such buttons. Personnally I believe it's the Ozonic's incapability, whereas your keyboard should beable to do that, let me know if when you try pushing a transport button, Logic doesn't recognize the key command, then maybe I can look back and decipher what some of the others said in your first post about using the already assigned commands and letting Logic learn them.
Glad you're on your way, best of luck to ya,

That's very interesting, I wish there was more about why M-AUDIO's transport buttons are non-communicado with logic [mine are just not recognized at all]. So I tried to use other buttons but no dice, it sounds like my contoller got the worst of the worst for signals.

as far as the transport thingy is concerned.. I didn't have to do anything special.
In fact, I left the default values on the keyboard and went into song settings and turned on MMC reception.

Song settings / Syncronization / Midi / MIDI Machine control 'listen to MMC input'.

Yeah that's the idea with the 88, but with some of the smaller controller keyboards the buttons are literally not readable by logic for any purpose, but that's a good point for Steve.

Good show matrixx [glad you're not folding here because my experience is limited without that keyboard].

Stevie, a break-through in kind of a bizarre way,

So it turns out that a default program change had turned off my MIDI transport controls, changing to an unused program let me assign all the buttons in Key commands.

But there's kind of a strange hinging here, in order for the button to work it has to be pressed double, like double clicking the mouse...it's probably the controller and not Logic but at least it's working so you might want to give it a shot. If anyone's got a clue about the double pressing buttons-let me know.
