Logic and Lemur

[hbissett]

Awesome Macciza, thanks for your help with this, it's all starting to make sense now. I'll look through all those reference links you've suggested.

I did actually end up installing Softcore's MCU, and it worked well. I was amazed at how detailed that template is, although there seemed to be only a couple of problems when using it in Logic. Easily fixed I guess. I understand now how easy it is to set up under MCU emulation, like you say.

I did happen upon this: http://home.comcast.net/~robbowers11/MCMap.htm which was useful in learning the Mackie Control MIDI mappings, though I later realised that you can find all the MIDI assignment values in Logic after I set up the Lemur as a Mackie Controller.

I'll probably take your advice on copying bits and pieces from other MCU templates and using them to make my own template. The only problem area I've hit so far is working out how to send the signals for the v-pots (channel pan knobs). It explains how these are sent in the link above:

CW = ClockWise rotation of a rotary encoder (VPot or Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it "up"
CCW = Counter ClockWise rotation of a rotary encoder (VPot or Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it "down."
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CW, a message equal to the number of clicks is sent.
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CCW, a "65" is sent followed by a message equal to the number of clicks is sent. Think of 65 as "sign indicator."

Bit confused on that but again, I'll probably look through the existing templates to find out how people have set these up.

Have you had experience with that?

Thanks everyone for your help
