Hey all, here's my first post! I'm using NI Kore 2 with Logic pro 7 (haven't made the jump to 8 yet). Kore uses USB to communicate with the DAW. Logic sees all the movements I'm making and it's all mirroring onscreen and in the mix, but when I put the automation into any of the writing modes (touch, latch, etc) Logic refuses to write the automation to the track. I've attempted this is while recording a new part, while playing back, armed to record, not armed. With my command 8 control surface in standalone mode, logic writes volume info flawlessly, but with the Kore 2 controller, it simply refuses. I am having the exact same project with my NI Rig control 2 device as well. I'm stumped. Here's what i've tried: -plugging the USB directly into the computer port (instead of an extensions splitter) -loading the latest drivers -working with just one track to see if it's a resource issue I've been back and forth and once in a great while it actually works! but this is super-rare and seems to be more troubling than helpful to me. Does anyone know anything about these devices? could it be a USB issue, Logic issue or NI issue? It feels like a Logic problem to me since everything is working flawlessly except the actual writing of the automation data to the track. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks, -Jeff

However, you might want to check this out and see if it doesn't do the trick for you. http://www.opuslocus.com/lcxmu/ Good luck, Dan Carter www.dacartmusic.com 917-355-1786 Member of Manhattan Producers Alliance www.manhatpro.com/ ------------------------------------

I have the original Kore which I stopped using for a number of annoying reasons, but from what I recall, Kore likes to do it's automation in the midi realm. i.e. you have to activate a control and assign it to a midi controller. Then you print the midi controller data. Don't know whether Kore 2 has implemented Logic's automation functions or not, but from what you're experiencing, probably not.

> It sounds like Logic isn't seeing the Kore control I don't think that's the issue. I know the Kore controller is communicating with Logic, it's just Logic isn't writing the automation to the track. Moving the knobs i can see the same motions on screen in the plug in window within logic. thanks though... any other ideas?

The Kore 2 controller is supposed to be communicating through MIDI.. it did work, once, so that's what's so frustrating with this situation. If I had to arm each knob and write them one at a time, it would defeat the purpose of the controller being so responsive. Do you think Logic 8 would fix the problem? is writing MIDI automation a more logical function in 8??
