[!SOLVED!]Voyager+Logic Studio = Cutoff automation problem

Hello again, pals!

Need your advice or a kind of solution to my problem.

When Im automationg my Voyager, connected to my iMac via MIDI and presented in Logic Studio as an External Instrument so I can play, control, automate through MIDI, I’ve got a problem with Filter Cutoff automation - the problem is when Im recording automation and starting to turn Cutoff knobb - everything’s fine and the turnings a recorded properly (Cutoff has a 51 control message number), but when Im trying to edit in Logic I do not see a curve instead I see a line with bypasses only that means I can only switch it to bypass or not bypassed.

It only happens to 51 (Cutoff) knob, any others seem to appear in a curves in Logic Hyper editor. May be that’s a Logic trouble? Any ideas? :bulb: :question:


Before you read the solution.
I have studied several things, first of all CC means Control Change, so each control in Logic has its own CC number be default, there are two types of CC events: continuos (value range from 0 to 127) and switch (values: 0 or 127, it means onor off), so in default config Logic uses CC 51 (that contorls the Filter Cutoff in Voyager) as a switch, it doesn’t have any range, only On or Off, so you cannot redraw it in Logic beacuse there’s no curve. Here’s the way to change the CC, I mean you can remap CC51 to CC104 for example, here how things goes:

[SOLUTION] is here (found on one of the forums on the internet):

"You need to change the incoming CC #s to different CC #s in the Logic Environment using Transformer Objects. First open the Logic Environment. Find the environment page Click and Ports. Add a Transformer object and connect it so it is between the Physical Input and the Input Notes. Click open the Transformer object. Choose Mode where it will let non-matching events pass through. For Status choose = Control. For Data Byte 1 choose = and whatever CC # you want to convert. Below this Select Fix slect what the new CC # to be. You can test what you did by looking at the Input View object elsewhere on the page. You will have to use a new Transformer object for each CC # you want changed. Modifying the Click and Ports direct like this is not a best practice as it affects anything plugged into Logic and not just your Moog, but it is a quick way to get solution going. "

Or another solution might be to just ditch the computer, and twist the knobs as they were intended to be! :smiling_imp:

(Of course, I’m pulling your leg… a little bit, anyway! :wink: )
