Logic control and hui protocol

[L2P]

According to rumors, Emagic would be on the road to implement hui protocol with their Logic control. Anyone has some infos ? Vaporware ? Anyway it would be nice for logic/protools users.

Hello

Having recently taken delivery of a Logic Control ("LC") and the Digidesign Mbox, I was surprised to see that Emagic have written a driver to allow the Logic control to act as a hardware control surface for Pro Tools (including my Protools LE 5.2)

I downloaded the driver from www.emagic.de and followed the (reasonably complicated) instructions and WOW !!!

I loaded up the protools demo song (which is over 20 tracks with many plug ins) and the Logic Control seemed to work very well with it.

I rewrote some of the automation and tested out all the scroll/solo/mute/record ready buttons and together with the visual representation of the track names on the LCs visual display, it worked perfectly.

The download also contained a 40 page .pdf manual to guide you through the set up and implementation.

Even OMS seemed to work okay.

What can I say, well done Emagic. I believe that the Digi Motor mix is well and truly dead in the water now !!

If emagic could deliver a direct I.O driver for the Mbox, then I would be in Nirvana !!

Thanks for the info. I wrote this post before seeing the news on emagic website !!

Hi!

I recently got an LC as well, and yesterday after some hairpulling got it to work with Protools.
What can I say, it works great!!!
My only minor complaint is not being able to move the cursor/songpointer with the jogwheel like you can in Logic, only when you go in scrubmode.

Setting up can be a bit of a pain; the description fails to mention that in Midi Input (under the Midi Menu) you should also tick the 'HUI Emu to Host' Oms input; this is only mentioned in the troubleshooting guide.
As soon as I figured this out, I got it working perfectly.

Hats off to Emagic for pulling it off; clever ploy to only let it work with an Xskey though [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Cheerio,
