Automation in Logic X

The Moog Forum Moog Beta Forum

The knobs seem to be recording fine by adjusting via the editor or synth, however, button pushes do not all record from the editor.

e.g. Changing slope, MOD Dest on the synth is recorded, but not if changed via the editor.

There are some that respond - e.g. Duo Mode, Multi Trig but most do not.

Fantastic fun BTW just adding controller after controller for midi madness :wink:

Hi, I really wonder why this is working in Your Logic X. I have try this many times and posted this issue in the beta forum more then 1 time. But got no response from someone. And now you are telling that you can record the button movements using the editor. I really like to know How you have done this.
Thanks for this info. now I know that I have a problem in my system and not the editor.
Could be all so easy when the communication in this forum is running well.

Best Regards Luloop.

Hi Luloop,

Apologies if I’m going to a very basic level, but just in case there’s something you’ve missed…

  1. set up a software instrument channel and add the editor as an audio FX
  2. add an external MIDI channel with the Sub37 port (I’m using USB)
  3. set automation to either ‘touch’ or ‘latch’ on then instrument channel
  4. press play
  5. twiddle some knobs !
  6. set automation to read (or you’ll record everything you touch on the editor!)

Works really well here.

I think when I first tried I was trying to record movement on the MIDI channel, rather than use automation. Maybe this is the issue. i.e. don’t record automation within the external MIDI channel as you would for a normal MIDI instrument, which may seem the obvious route. I use the software instrument for automation, with the standard MIDI notes on the external MIDI channel.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Yes this is the answer. And this is what I did wrong. Recording on the midi channel.
So now it is clear for me. Thanks so much.

What I found out

  1. create a software instrument and change that in a external instrument under (utilities) and set the sub 37 port.
  2. In the same track Add under AudioFX the editor.

    So you do not need to use 2 tracks or channels.

Once more Thanks a lot. You are the best

0.9.38 should fix the original issue posted, will be uploaded soon, It would be great if you can confirm the fix once available.

Thanks !

Thanks for that. I’ve had a play and managed to do it on one channel in Logic X using the external instrument plug-in option when creating the track. It appeared to have a MIDI loop at first, but it was receiving a continuous controller message for 116 - Osc 2 level. Simply twisting the knob fixed the issue. I’m not sure if it’s as stable yet as I’ve not used it enough, but its a nice step forward. Thanks for the tip.
