I’m glad it is working :) One suggestion I would make to anyone doing this is to take 5 minutes beforehand and map out which commands you want to allocate to which CCs. That way you can use one MC6 preset and just change the CC number as you go through the ‘Learn New Assignment‘ process. Once you’ve done that you are free to use the CCs as you will.
For example I had originally associated the ‘Stop and Go to Beginning‘ command to a CC. But when I started recording and tried it, it didn’t work. I found this counterintuitive but that’s the way it works. But since I had already mapped CCs for Stop and Go to Beginning, I was able to use both commands in a preset and accomplish what I wanted. Mapping the CCs to the Key Commands beforehand just makes the process a lot easier.
@jeffclemens Key Commands are computer keyboard commands, not Midi commands. Support for keyboard commands for the MC6 would be nice, no not nice, killer, because most computer software can be controlled generically that way. The latest Helix firmware release has support for keyboard commands (HX Stomp isn’t supported - shortage of switches?). If you read the 2.8 release notes it will give you an idea of what can be done.
I’m a dummy when it comes to Logic so take what I say with a grain of salt. My take on Midi controller support in Logic is that they have a set list of controllers they support and that there is no generic way of assigning CCs to functions like start, stop, record, etc. I may be wrong.
