The Logic Off Topic list

Message posted by Vince Fanelli <fanelliv@...>:

I use Logic 4.8 in OS9.2 and Garage Band 3 in OSX Tiger. I use a Behringer
BCF 2000 (which is a  midi controller with faders and pan pots) to control
every aspect of Logic from mixers to software synths with all their
parameters. I want to use it in Garage Band but I can only control the
volume and pan pots of the currently accessed track with an external
controller.I want to control all the tracks as I do in Logic  I understand
that there is a difference in the architecture between GB and Logic. However
Keith Gemmell in a manual titled Garage Band Tips and Tricks names a
controller made by M-Audio called iControl which was designed specifically
for GB that will do exactly what I want. Knowing this if someone could
provide me with GB CC numbers I could program the controller. I certainly
don't want to have to spring for another controller.
 I went to Behringer's website but there was nothing available for  GB
althoughI haven't contacted Behringer directly ( they have always been most
accesable and helpful in the past with product support)
This is my first posting  and I hope I have explained what I wish to
accomplish. If anyone can offer me the info I would be extremely greatful.
This may be helpful to someone. I have a G4 Tower and an external Firewire
400GB . They do generate enough noise to affect audio tracks so I keep them
in a closed sectiion of my workstation which cuts the noise to practically
nil. However the External HD in particular generates  some heat, Not wishing
to add a fan to the enclosure and raise the noise level I keep two ice chest
type freezer packs  and put one (wrapped in a towel to prevent moisture) in
the enclosure whenever I'm recording.

I'm replying to myself regarding  a tactile controller for Garage Band. I spoke to the support dept at Behringer and was told that Apple provided M-Audio with the neccessary information to enable them (M-audio) to develop the iControl.                                   Behringer aded that Apple was keeping the info on a proprietary basis and not releasing any contoller or sys-ex info regarding Garage Band to them or any other manufacturer. So the iControl is the only game in town. I checked it out and the iControl got great reviews on all counts. Since it's only a hundred bucks I'll spring for it. Incidently the support tech  at M-audio said it also works great in Logic Express and Pro..
Best Rrgards to all,
