I cannot for the life of me assign the play/record/stop and rewind buttons on my Oxygen 61 to the transport bar in Logic 9.

There is no class for the transport bar.

Make it a key command instead....

Option-K, choose 'play'... hit learn midi, and there u go.

Hi Guys,

I have assigned to my Axiom 61. All works fine and dandy and I saved with my template files. Funny thing though is that the controller assignments have now disappeared. It is not the first time it has happened. Seems to happen from time to time. Is there any way I can save them elsewhere or reload? Thanks a lot

Always be sure the axiom is powered up before Logic is booted. If Logic doesn't see the port, it will lose the assignments. This usually happens when the keyboard is powered up after Logic is booted. I had this happen on stage. Never again!

hey, i have a keystation pro 88 & battery 3. i use battery as a multi-out (x16 mono)- ive had no issues assignin my knobs 2 control the panorama of the mono aux outputs in logic's mixer. when i do the same for logic's faders, it says they've have already been assigned from the 3rd fader on. gives me the same message when i leave learn mode&asks me if i want to keep both or reassign. it ends up mapping multiple keystation faders to one logic fader, or the other way around. what am i missin?

Having some trouble setting up my control surface mode change and my akai mpk49, i have the time division buttons to scroll through different modes, but after a while i wont know which mode is selected coz logic sees the button as whenever its pressed light on or not it changes the mode, when my akai sees it as a on/off switch instead is there some way of making it so when my 1st button is lit its my EXS24, 2nd button is my ES1 etc.? If you dont understand what i mean its cool coz i dont really

@zimonslot To do that you need to tell Logic that you will send Midi Machine Control (MMC). Go to Preferences -> MIDI -> Sync Tab -> MIDI Sync Project Settings and enable "Listen to MMC Input" down at the bottom. Voiá!

Hi. I've set up my Akai 88 in Logic Express 9 by using the controller assignments page. All the faders, knobs, and buttons are assigned, and I have 2 of the pads set for fader bank foward/ back messages. Thing is, the colored bars underneath the tracks which tell you which set of 8 tracks are controlled won't show up. The option to view "Control Surface Bars" is checked but greyed out in the arrange window "View" menu". Is there any way to get these colors to show up? Thanks

whenever i try to assign to my edirol pcr 500 it only lets me assign volume and sometimes pan. any ideas?

[matteomolina]

I´ve have an axiom-49 and it works perfectly!!!

Thanks!

But is it possible to change between 3,4....plugins? Because if I try to put 3 plug ins-> Mode the buttons I´ve assigned to change don´t react like I want to.

thanks for such an awesome video, your time is much appreciated, I am trying to assign the apc40 to work with logic but when i try to assign the faders each one only controls the selected track and not the specific one it was assigned to in learn mode, cant figure out why, any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?

Wonderfully explained.
