Dear Group, I have built a custom environment page to monitor and reflect the MUTE automation on my board -- it works great. The problem is I used a SYSEX button where I defined a custom string of MIDI messages to in affect, create an ALL ON or ALL OFF command for ALL MUTES on the mixer. No problem yet, but .... The custom messages are MIDI Control #'s -- a different number for every mixer channel -- with a value of 0 being OFF and 127 being ON. This works fine except that the Control #'s 1 and 64 do not work correctly -- I assume because Logic is doing something under the hood relative to their normal use as Sustain Pedal and Mod Wheel. If I hit the individual MUTE buttons for these two channels -- they work properly -- it is only in the context of the SYSEX button that shoots out a list of control commands in one click that the numbers 1 and 64 do not function properly. I have tried disabling the RESET messages in preferences and have tried moving the position of the events in the SYSEX button window -- to no avail. Any environment gurus know a workaround for this? Thanks alot -- email or list response is fine. jr

The cc values should be sent out properly whether from a SysEx Fader list or a standard Fader. However of cc#1 or #64 end up going to a MIDI output via an Arrange track, Logic will reset those cc's on each stop or cycle-jump. One work-around is to pack the SysEx Fader into a Macro, then check the Macro's No Reset checkbox. That works like the No Reset feature on Instruments - it prevents the reset messages from being sent. (Maybe there's a better way?) Len www.Swiftkick.com
