Question

plugin effect automation via midi controller stopped working

Hello. My midi controllable effects plugins such as NI Guitar Rig 5 or Zebrify no longer respond to midi controllers on instrument tracks. I've tried trashing the preferences and restarting Logic, but it still isn't working. It appears Logic isn't even passing through midi control to plugin, since when I click "learn" on a controller in the plugin window no controller is assigned. This is the first time I've come across this issue, perhaps a recent update?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Did you also trash the .cs preferences file?

Also, check the Controller Assignments window (before you trash the cs file)

Another way of trouble shooting is to follow the MIDI signal path, to see where it "disappears". In the Environment, put Monitor Objects between objects (Physical Input, Channel Strips, etc) to see the MIDI data.

Hope that helps

Hi. Yes, I did trash the other preference file. by assigning a controller from the automation assignment in Logic instead of the plugin I can write automation as a workaround.

Just the recent OS X updates. Nothing to Logic recently.

I still can't control any of my midi controlled effects anymore. Software instruments are still responding to midi. I must admit I am baffled. In 8 years of using Logic I've never had a problem with midi-learn and my effects plugins until this issue. I'm wondering if there is something in the Environment that changed or some setting that I've never altered before that is preventing the plugins from seeing midi controller data.
