Logic 5.5 and meta events


Recommended Posts

Yo Serge

Could you offer a short explanation on how to get a standard non mios (877) MB64 to learn the seperate meta events needed to control Logic audio. Just faders solo mute pan in the audio environment.

I used to be able to do this with 4.8 but can't get my head around this meta event thing.

I can only seem to learn the one mute / solo / or fader with the MB64 though I know they are all different meta events.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ian

Hi,

i´m new here and didn´t read that post earlier.

if you´re still interested and did not get it work yet i can help you cause i tried a lot getting a midi controller work with logic.

the thing is you don´t need "meta events" but "fader events" to controll the environment objects. because fader events are special events only used in logic i think you can´t get them out of the mb64 directly.

so you use standard cc´s and convert them in the environment to fader events using a transformer.

this is a bit hard to explain just in words so i´d make some screenshots that explain the different steps you need to control logic. and by the way that is very interesting because you can "save" different settings inside logic so you need only one "general" setup in the midibox.

so if you´re interested i look for screenshots to explain that...

Hey Ian!

You can do all conversion and learning of meta/fader/whatever events in the enviro and map regular cc's to just about any param this way...fader events are typically used for plugins/instrus/sends to enable track based automation over the prior 'object based' way...

I used the FaderMapper enviro with my MB64 and it worked great - still using it now with my LC as it has much better handling for ie, plugins and instrus - chek it here: http://www.revolver.co.nz/fadermapper/

Also, have a look here - http://www.omega-art.com/logic/index.html and chek the 'AutoDemo' in particular...

Finally, here's a pdf which list meta info relative to the enviro: http://www.swiftkick.com/downloads/metalist.zip

Hi,

yes that autodemo-tutorial is really great, maybe you look at this first, just ask if there are still questions after reading this...

and another helpfull environment if you have to configure fader maps yourself:  http://home.arcor.de/tazumi/daten/fader_events.zip

you can insert any plugin and it will show which fader-event does what - check it out...

Dan: this fader-mapper-environment seems to be cool- do you have the full version? i think i´ll test the demo.
