Hi,
Just yesterday, I bought the Edirol PCR3- Midi Controller Keyboard and it`s great.
But the thing is, I want to assign the buttons and knobs to control the parametres,

volumes, pan etc in Logic Audio Platinum 5.5...I`ve treid all the memory sets and I`ve

downloaded the memory sets off the edirol site but nothing seems to work. In the manual it

says you can have the L1 L2 and L3 buttons to work as Rewind, Play and Stop buttons etc.

But the settings in the manual are for Cubase, Sonar and Pro Tools....no Logic!
Please help...am I being ignorant and is it something very simple?!
I just basically have no idea how to assign the buttons to do things in logic for me! I`d

like to be able to use the faders on the Keyboard to do some "touch" automation...but it

doesn`t happen!
Thankyou for any help in explaining how to use all these midi codes etc?!?!?
Thankyou !!!
Alex

ledeux, I have to admit this is probably of little to now help, but...
I use a different keyboard, and different program, but I think if you want to automate some of the functions by using the midi on your keyboard, you have to set it up within Logic. aka within Logic, assign fade on track x to knob y. That's how I do it with my setup anyways.

by the way, I like the handle. Is that a mix of french and latin? or do I just have no idea what ledeux is?

ledeux, I am not sure but Logic should have a learn function for assigning the midi controls to certain parameters.

Are you running Logic on a MAC or PC?

I did look into the Edirol controller breifly and I couldnt see were you could individually adjust what control number each slider or knob would send. It appears as though they can only be shifted with their own patches of which you have allready tried.

So I am guessing here, but if your on a PC put your curser over the parameter you wish to control like volume of a channel and right click. If Logic is the same as most it should come up with an several choices including automation choices. Then it should prompt if you want to teach or learn a control number for that parameter. If it is the case there you simply move the slider or knob you wish to control that parameter with and that should be it.
