Anyone know how I can set up logic to receive midi start/stop messages from an external guitar processor's midi pedal that has the ability to send start/stop messages with one of its control pedals. I have a Boss GT-100. When I press on the pedal logic receives midi but nothing happens. I've tried the sync button but can't seem to get to work. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

Hi Rounik, Logic is receiving the following... Ch# Ctrl# Val 14 81 127 14 81 0 Tech support gave me a great solution to use Logic Pro's Key Command and just use Learn New Assignment. Works great, however... now if I use my GT-100's control pedal to modify my sound on the GT-100 it also Starts Logic's sequence. Another workaround is to get an external pedal plugged into my GT-100 and use that exclusively to start/stop Logic with the Key Command I mentioned above. However once again, my goal was to use my GT-100's command to start/stop logic through it's Controller assignments. I'm now thinking this is not possible? P.S. Here is what Logic is receiving with the Learn new assignment Key command which works. BD 51 Lo7

Anyone else know how to use the Boss GT-100 to Start/Stop Logic Pro X's Sequencer?

Can Mainstage 2 change from one song to another automatically? Can there also be a pause before the other song starts? If so, can anyone direct me to where I can find out how to do this, or maybe let us know here. Thanks in advance! Micdim

Thanks Rounik, The Mainstage 2 tutorials don't really mention outputting midi to control external devices. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If I use Logic 9 to input control/Program changes, can I export to Mainstage? What I'm trying to do is have MainStage 2 control my external Floor Pedal.

I understand the mapping part, but too bad Mainstage can't auto start another song. Also I'm looking for Mainstage to be able to send out Program changes and/or control messages to external devices. Thanks Rounik.

Can MainStage 2 output Program and/or Control Messages to external devices. For example would I be able to record in Logic 9 some midi program or Control changes, and then use them in Mainstage 2 to trigger my external guitar Pedal Board? Thank you in advance! Micdim

Thanks Rounik, I'm not familiar with how to use the AIC drive, and how this would apply to Mainstage 2 controlling midi out. Is it in the Tutorials on Mainstage 2? I didn't see it there.

Actually I want to send midi control messages or program change messages directly from Mainstage 2 to my external Guitar Floorboard Processor, but I thought Mainstage 2 can't record midi program changes or control messages. So my thought was to record these midi messages in Logic and then export/import them into Mainstage 2. Right now we are using Sonar that has a Song List program within it. With Sonar we can change a song list on the fly just by moving songs around with the mouse. Have the next song start Manually or automatically with or without a specified pause time, and have midi program change messages or control messages sent to external equipment, such as a guitar processor. So you see I've been wanting to use either Logic 9 or Mainstage because I'm an avid Mac user, but there seems to be nothing out there that can accomplish these tasks. To recap... I'm looking for Mainstage 2 to do the following: 1. Play backing tracks 2. Send out midi program changes and/or control messages to external devices. 3. Maybe record midi messages and then have mainstage send them out to the external devices like logic can do. 4. Have a Song List that goes to next song Automatically and starts with a user defined pause before it starts. I'm also looking forward to your comment about the the iAC Driver in a week or two. Thanks Rounik! Micdim

Thanks Rounik, Very good info you've given me. Thanks! Yes I'm familiar with OnStage, and that can be an option. I only wish it had a way of changing the song list by moving the songs around with the mouse, and being able to open a project with the up/down arrows instead of a midi controller. I really like the idea of just using Logic. I'll have to look into it, because I would really need to be able to use the Marker list to go from marker to marker. Do you know if the Marker list can be changed on the fly. So for example if I have 10 songs numbered 1-10, and then I then I go into the marker list and I change marker 2 to 4, and 4 to 2, I wonder if then logic would play it in that order. Any idea where I can learn about the Meta Events, and environment. I used to be pretty good at it, but it's been quite some time. Thanks again.
