Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Welcome.

Can't really help but sounds like the sustain pedal is being seen as a
volume/dynamics pedal?

Weird.

 

I have one on my keyboard and it was automatically found as sustain and
works fine in all programs (Sibelius, Logic etc) .  Maybe the keyboard
driver is having the issue ?   Do you have the current or most recent one
installed?

Subject: [Logic_Cafe] Sustain Pedal Does Everything But - First Post

 

  

Greetings to all. Brand new to the group, very new to Logic. I've been 
using Pro Tools in a studio situation for a dozen years, but L8's 
VI's made it impossible to resist, as does the simple convenience of 
listening through the speakers. Quite honestly, there has been a bit 
of a learning curve, with unexpected obstacles popping up rather 
frequently. I've been finding my way around OK, but this one has me 
stumped.

My keyboards, and their sustain pedals, function normally in every 
program but Logic Pro 8 (that is only PT and Garage Band, admittedly, 
but a fair sampling to rule out any hardware problem.). In Logic, 
pressing the sustain pedal transmits start and stop messages, and 
rolls the output volume (that little slider at lower right) to zero.

I've dug and drilled into the various prefs, including MIDI and 
control surface setup, and have no idea how to change anything. I did 
manage to wiggle my way to a setting where, now, pressing the sustain 
pedal repeatedly toggles the individual track volume to 0 and then up 
full. I have no idea what I did. I do recall it was somewhere in the 
preferences for Control Surfaces - Controller Assignments. However, 
when I closed and reopened the session, it had reverted to its 
previous behavior.

In addition, when Logic starts up, it tells me the MicroKONTROL 
control port is not assigned, and advises me to reset the MIDI 
assignments, which I've done repeatedly with no result. Again, these 
problems are specific to Logic only. OSX 10.5.8, MacBook Pro 2.33, 3 
gigs of RAM.

Any help from more experienced Logicians would be gratefully received.

Best wishes,
Bobbo
