More things about control surfaces i don't understand and a question about the usability of a synth

2013-01-31 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi people. As it stands right now, it seems like the only option for me when it comes to control surfaces are the Beringer BCF 2000. This surface is said to meet one of the criteria for working as a blind person in Pro tools, it has motorised faders. (why is this so important) However, it

As I said in my previous post, I'm getting one even though the faders aren't touch sensitive. A fader that is touch sensitive will stop responding to automation the moment you touch it. I'm not really sure how hard it will be to rewrite automation, but I'm sure it can be done. The reason I

A control surface is different from an interface. The M Box has all your ins and outs for recording and playback. The control surface controls the faders on screen. Some surfaces have an interface built in like the 003, but the BCF 2000 is just the control surface. So, you'll need both at this

The reason you're transport bar may not be working is because the device may not be started in Pro Tools mode. The manual talks about which button must be held down while powering the machine on to put it into pro Tools mode. Once there, transport will work as advertised. Hope this helps.

Hey folks. While Training Byron yesterday, we decided to experiment with the combo boxes in the AAX Plugin Window. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but if you Vo Shift Space on the combo boxes, the menus will pop up. We were even able to see the presets for the new Channel Strip

Hey Kevin, That's interesting. I thought I had tried that but perhaps I didn't. Of course, under normal circumstances, the pop-up menu would open but any attempt at navigating it was ineffective. I'll have to try to replicate the behavior. Cheers, Slau On Jan 31, 2013, at 7:36 AM, Kevin

Hi all, Think I posted on this a while back. I've been using this for ages. You need to use VO arrows, rather than just arrows while in the menu, but other than that, they work just like the menus on the RTAS plugins. As far as I know, you can access preset, insert slow, and track. HTH, On

One thing I do like about moterised faders is that I get an autatory signal when the faders jump as I perform different commands with the key board. Example, when I go to show only instrument tracks I can be sure that it worked because I hear the faders change. A nomanal thing, but I do

Yes I do have one. This is a great unit, and over all pretty easy to use. I am still learning the unit though, but I do love it. Kevin is right, it is very compact. I think it is a great starter control surface for those that do not have the interface/control surface all in one. Brian On

In versions prior to 10.3 while using RTAS or TDM plug-ins, after the initial Control-Option-Space Bar, simply using the arrow keys would navigate menus as normal. Even RtAS under version 10.3 behaves this way. Perhaps with AAX it's different, although it absolutely shouldn't be because Avid is

With AAX plugins, I can only ever manipulate the preset / insert / track menu, but that's worked well enough for me. Sorry I can't be of more help, although Slau, looks like they're not using Apple's menu structure, as you have to VO Shift Space in the first place. Cheers, On 31/01/2013, Slau

Thing is, a simple VO-Space does bring up the menu to begin with. It's only after that point where the arrow keys don't seem to work. Again, if it can be recreated on other systems and work consistently, well, that would be great for now. Slau On Jan 31, 2013, at 5:27 PM, Chris Norman wrote:
