If not, than I rest my case, DP is clearly falling behind the pack, and has been for years on this topic. Without diving deep into the Akai to change that to conform to what DP will accept, is there a way that I can tell DP that the "Solo" button on Track 1 should be activated by C#2? "BUTTON X" sends "Note on/note off" information lets say on C#2. You mentioned, "rolling your own" using MIDI commands, do you care to explain how this is accomplished in DP? (Does the secret lie in "Console"?)įor example, in my case the MIDI Controller/Control surface is an Akai APC40. My nano pad2 (which is typically used as a drum pad) can be used instead to Mute/Solo channels on Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic, MainStage, and Reason for sure.Įxcellent info, thank you for this. (I stand corrected)Īnd yes, I AM embarrassed for myself, AND for DP, because outside of ProTools, every other "DAW" out there seems to accept nearly ANY kind of MIDI controller to act as a "control surface." The Behringer BCF2000 is NOT a MIDI controller than, it should more aptly be called a control surface. If you don't like any of the dozens available, you can roll your own with MIDI commands like anything else. If you want to find them, search for HUI, MCU, or Mackie Control surfaces, not "MIDI controller," that would be too generic when you are looking for a control surface. All Yamaha digital studio consoles (DM and O series).The following control surfaces all work with DP, and aux send knobs are part of the protocol: This is generally accepted and if you say one thing but mean another you are liable to create confusion. It is not a generic MIDI device with random buttons and knobs that have no dedicated purpose. The definition of a control surface is a dedicated device with faders, pan pots, sends, and transport. would like to be able to attach MIDI control surfaces to control the software. What is NOT an opinion, is that DP is seriously falling behind it’s competitors on this front, and it’s EMBARASSING. I am not going to debate that DP is the finest DAW out there, because it’s only an opinion. I can assign ANYTHING to ANYTHING.(just about) Guess what? It works like a charm on Apple Mainstage, Logic, Resolume Avenue, Ableton Live, and Reason. I have an Akai APC40 which was designed to be used with Ableton Live. But truth be told, I don't need PAN controls, I need AUX SEND controls, know what I mean!? I hate the Mackie protocal stuff, because you can't CHANGE any of it. This is a tutorial on how to create DXV encoded video clips for use with Resolume Arena or Avenue. I had a Behringer BCF 2000 which I used with DP for awhile, clients were impressed with the motorized faders. Thanks NazRat, that is the answer I was looking for: hard facts, rather than opinions. I don’t like controlling knobs and faders with my index finger on a touch screen, nor with a mouse. I’m old skul: I grew up in front of mixing desks and analog tape. Killahurts: I recognize your point, however: Not everyone owns an iPad, and not everyone WANTS one. 4atripes: Google “MIDI Controller” and then tell me that more than 5% of these work with DP.
