Voyager keyboard / Logic 9 midi-loop issue ...

Hi all
( this is my first post so happy new year to all!)

My DAW is Logic 9.1 and my Voyager (keyboard version) is hooked up with both midi in and midi out cables, so I can record the Voyager’s knob movements. This is causing a midi meltdown / loop of some sort. It causes all the knobs to behave erratically. As an example the cutoff wont sweep correctly; turning tuning knobs of osc’s up will cause pitch to go down; flicking osc on / off switches triggers midi notes to play…in short everything goes nuts. As soon as I disconnect the midi cables everything is fine.

Ps: turning “Local Off” is not an option as i would not be able to record my midi movements from the Voyager’s panel…also…I own a slim phatty as well and it behaves perfectly, exhibiting none of these problems. Btw my Voyager’s OS is up to date.

I am fairly certain this is a Logic9 / Voyager thing. I need to make some sort of transformer object in the environment window. I used to own a super jupiter with the same issue and a midi brainiac solved it by making a transformer object that filtered out the loop, however ive lost touch with him and i don’t have those ancient sessions anymore

Id really like to start the new year with some great moog pulses for my new scores, so help would be really appreciated.

best,

Check this out. This workaround may help.

Here’s another approach.

eureka Csus7…

option 2 is almost what I need :wink:
BUT it disables playing the moog from my main controller, which means no live layering with my other synths…

but its a BIG help!

thanx,
