Hi
I am aware that this may have been covered before, but I am
struggling to find any inforamation on this.
I wish to use the 01V to control the audio mixer on LAPW 5.5. I
would like feedback from LAP to put the 01V faders in the right
place when you load a song, and to be able to move up banks like
with Logic Control.
I was able to get 01V faders to move on screen faders before logic 5
by using a physical input to teh audio environment, but not now.
Any ideas?
Thanks with anticipation

If I got it right, there's a bug in newer logic versions, which
prevents MIDI CC messages from being recorded as track based
automation.
Look at John's CC automation example at
http://www.revolver.co.nz/logic/ to circumvent this.

As the poster is on Windows Logic 5.x however, this will not be a
problem. He'll have working Sysex-fader-to-CC conversion too ;-)

Nope, that's for recording CCs (environment or external) to track
automation for _midi_ tracks, and have it play back as CCs to the midi
instrument.
I would have answered in this thread before now, recommending
Fadermapper - http://www.opuslocus.com/fadermapper/ - but the original
poster is also looking for feedback to move his motorized faders,
which Fadermapper 1.0 does not provide (it does do soft takeover
however).
There is an unreleased Fadermapper 2.0 which _does_ do feedback to
motorfaders, but due to the abovementioned bugs in Logic 6.x, and
availability of LC Xmu, I am unlikely to ever complete, document and
release that, sorry.
Something that might be useful is Lennart Wahlin's older
"CC-Rider"
environment, which I believe was developed in 4.x with the 01V in
mind. From what I remember, that does provide motorfader feedback if
desired. It won't do track automation however. Last I looked, that was
at http://www.swiftkick.com

Just to be sure, I got it right: As the 01V actually is a MIDI device,
the automation exampled would be adequate, if he wanted to automate the
01V.
As he wants to use the 01V as an input device to control the internal
mixer (and have automation feedback over 01V) this example isn't what
he needs. (?)
This still seems very similar to me. Am I wrong?

Yes, if you wanted to automate the 01V from the 01V (or from another
controller), which seems a little pointless. Or perhaps if you wanted
a custom environment with faders matching the 01V's to be recorded to
track automation. To simply draw in track automation for CCs and send
it to the 01V you wouldn't need the example anyway.

Correct. The example isn't for controlling the internal audio mixer
(it's for midi tracks); doesn't do anything about converting control
moves or automation (Fader events) on the internal audio mixer to CCs
and sending them back to outboard gear; or about managing different
"banks" or "presets" of control mappings, extracting
current values
and providing feedback to the appropriate 01V faders when you switch
those - volume vs pan, or tracks 1-24 vs tracks 25-48, etc. It's a way
trickier problem than it first sounds, especially if you want it to
work with track automation.

John - forgive me for being naive, are the programs you suggested capable of
letting me use the 01V to control the audio mixer in Logic? And if so, am I
right in saying that they WONT give feedback to the desk, but DO have soft
takeover?
Thanks

I'm not astonishingly familiar with the 01V, but I gather it has a
basic "remote" mode, where faders 1-16 send CC7 on channel 1-16,
and
some kind of "expert" mode where all faders are assignable, but
you
have to really get in there and setup each one in ugly raw hexadecimal
midi notation. So let's assume we're talking "remote" mode here,
for
16 channels of CC faders:
CC-Rider is an older Logic environment that will let you map the 16
01V faders to Logic mixer controls in Logic 4.x. Automation is
recordable as regular midi (old-style). I don't know if it was ever
updated for Logic 5. From what I remember, it can provide midi
feedback to the motorfaders, and I don't think it does soft takeover
(not sure, it's been a while). I don't think it can access plugin
parameters very reliably, mostly due to 4.x limitations. It takes some
environment knowledge to set up. It is free.
Fadermapper is a Logic environment that allows you to map up to 128 CC
controls at once to just about any onscreen control in Logic,
including plugins, in an easy "midi-learn" way. Soft takeover and
value scaling is provided on all controls. Track Automation can be
written and overwritten with soft takeover active. Lots of recallable
banks are available, and there is a facility to step up/down the mixer
channels. Fadermapper only works with Logic Gold/Platinum 5.x, and
does not provide motorfader feedback. It's a big, complicated
environment, takes some care to setup, requires plenty of RAM, but
once setup and mapped in your autoload works pretty well. It's not a
good thing for new users, or those with no environment ability.
LC Xmu takes a different approach, providing Logic Control emulation
via an external app (which greatly simplifies managing different songs
compared to an environment solution), and provides soft takeover. It
does not, at present, provide motorfader feedback. LC Xmu is Mac-only.
