Way to initialize hardware?

2005-01-24 by Kamm Schreiner

There is one nagging issue I have with Logic. Initializing my hardware for
each song. Maybe someone on the list can help me streamline the process.

The problem...

All of the music in my songs comes from external sound module or synths.
When I work on one song and change settings like Reverb, Attack, modulation,
and so on, and then close that song and open another, those settings remain
in the external sound modules. The only way I've found to ensure that I
start with all the correct settings in a song is to perform the following
procedure:

1) Manually perform a reset (either through a menu option in Logic or
physically by pressing buttons on the hardware)

2) Use Logic to Send Used Song Settings to the sound modules (sorry, don't
remember the exact menu item verbiage)

3) Load the Mixer

4) With my mouse (there is no key command for it) "send all mixer settings"

Is there a way to get Logic to do all of the above automatically when the
song loads? Or maybe as a single keystroke? It isn't the end of the world,
but Sonar did this stuff for me automatically. I know that there is a
preference to automatically do the "Send Used Song Settings" when the song
is loaded, but that is useless, because I need to perform the Reset first
and that doesn't happen. The "Send Used Song Settings doesn't send all
settings either. It only sends volume and pan and patch settings. Reverb and
Chorus don't get sent unless you open the Mixer window and use the Send all
mixer settings menu item.

Any suggestions?
