Hi Guys,
I was just wondering, I have an old SY99 synth, which I use purely for MIDI input... but is it possible to use the controls on there as a control surface for say logic. It has a scrub wheel and a play pause and record button... it would be cool if they were put to use and I didn't have to get an extra control surface.

Hi Alex,
Yes that should work, you need a Midi interface for your Mac of course, once Logic can see your synth (goto to the Environment, and choose Clicks and Ports from the top left layer menu and make sure you can see it) and then goto to Preferences - Control Surfaces - Controller Assignments - Learn Mode and move some of the buttons and map them to Logic's commands.

YAY
That's awesome... that would have saved me so much time when I was working with Cubase on Windows.
Thanks, Alex

OK, slight problem, now I've actually had a chance to sit down and play! First time round I opened one of the preset music templates and did what you said in easy mode (I think that's what it's called!) and recorded my scrub wheel, I then went into export view to assign it to the playhead... this worked fine, then I assigned the current Channel Strip slider all in the export view... this worked fine, until I opened a new project, and it was offset in a way that it wouldn't land on the first beat of the bar, about a quaver in! So I deleted my command and tried reassigning it. After that, it wouldn't learn... I clicked learn mode and it flashed on for a fraction of a second, and then went back to normal non-learn mode without assigning any new controller function... please can you tell me two things, is there a better way of assigning the scrub function (as in that it dosen't snap to the value and is relative), and why it's not learning!
Alex
