Mackie control, DP et OS X...

[adsr]

ou mackie for newbe salut les heureux possesseurs d'une mackie control et de DP... je cherche à ce que DP reconnaisse la mackie...je suis allé naturellement vers le setup et le core midi mais j'ai pas l'impression que j'ai changé quoique ce soit... (bon je suis un vrai newbe en midi j'ai toujours l'impression que c'est "magique"...)

Help...

mac os 10.2.8
DP 4.1
Mackie control V1.2 (mode universel)

c'est hyper simple :

1) aller dans config audio-midi et dans midi tu ajoutes la mackie control comme une machine et tu relies à ton interface midi in et out

2) ensuite dans DP tu vas dans "setup" puis "control surface setup" tu ajoute ta mackie control et tu règle sur le bon canal mid et tu fais OK

et c'est tout et tu verra ta mackie sera en fonction de suite.

Après avec un DP 4.1 tu dois peux-être charger un truc pour faire reconnaitre la mackie pas DP mais je me souviens plus je devais le faire mais y'a un bail avec DP5.1 et OX4.7 pour ce type de manip à faire.

Tests et redis-moi ok amigos ?

argh...hélas c'est bien ce que j'ai fais......depuis j'ai redémarré Dp, je vais voir si ça a changé quelque chose...

Merci je te tiens au courant...

redis car je viens de matter le site de motu et dans les download ils ont toujours le truc à installer pour DP4 afin de faire reconnaitre une surface de control, as-tu téléchargé et installé ce drivers ?

je pense que cela va régler ton soucis et c'est un petit fichier environ 2Mo tout simple. Tu vas chez motu puis download et ensuite Digital Performer et vers le bas de la liste tu trouvera ce drivers

[adsr]

yep...je vais chercher ça car en fait je viens de me rendre compte via la motu que le midi sort bien et dans DP la ckie est reconnu dans les pistes midi comme un instru en fait... je vais voir sur le site de motu pour téléchargé ce driver... et je ne manque pas de te (vous) tenir au jus... thx !

Arghhhh...impossible de choper le driver...le lien est mort... !!! bordel...

j'ai créé un second compte chez motu, des fois que le premier pose pb, et j'ai toujours le même souci...

pour info :

Digital Performer has supported Mackie Control and the XT expander units since version 3.1 on OS 9, and for this review I was using Digital Performer 4.01 on OS 10.2.6. Because of the way MOTU fully embrace Core MIDI in DP4, in order for DP4 to see the port on the MIDI interface to which you've connected Mackie Control, you'll need to first add a new device to represent Mackie Control in the MIDI Devices page of the Audio MIDI Setup utility and connect this using virtual cables to your MIDI interface (as illustrated in the screen shot, above). Audio MIDI Setup already includes a profile for Mackie Control, so you can go right ahead and double-click the new device and, in the Properties sheet, set Manufacturer to Mackie and Model to Mackie Control.



Once you've done this little ritual, you can configure Mackie Control in DP4 itself by choosing Control Surface Setup from the Setup menu. In this window, you select Mackie Control as the driver, and specify which Mackie Control units you've connected to what physical MIDI ports. By clicking on the '+' button within the Mackie Control Driver box you can add additional units, and while I didn't test it with this number of units, I was able to add an additional 39 XT units before hitting the bottom of my display. So presumably, if you had 39 XT units (in addition to the base unit) and enough spare MIDI ports, DP would allow you to build a pretty large control surface system — 320 faders, to be precise.



I think DP4 currently has one of the best implementations of Mackie Control around, with plenty of nice touches such as that when a modal dialogue is displayed (which is a window that effectively blocks out the rest of the system until you deal with it), Mackie Control's LCD screen reports this and you can OK or Cancel the dialogue directly from the Enter or Escape buttons on the unit. The LCD screen can also show level meters, by, perhaps unsurprisingly, toggling the Level Meters button on MOTU's Lexan Overlay. And in addition to showing bars and beats or minutes and seconds, the time display can additionally toggle between timecode and samples, which can be useful when making selections.




Digital Performer's Control Surface window allows you to configure Mackie Control support, enabling you to specify how many XT units you've connected to your system.





On the subject of making selections, DP provides a neat way of using the jog wheel in Scrub mode to make selections by first locating the start point, and then holding down Mackie Control's Shift key while using the wheel to locate the end point of the selection. Once a selection has been made, you can use the left and right arrow keys on Mackie Control to toggle between the left and right points of the selection, in order to make further adjustments to the selected point by using the Shift/scrub technique again.



You can assign the expression pedal to a fader or V-pot by holding down Option and Command, and pressing either the Select button or V-pot for the Channel's fader or V-pot you want to assign. This provides a great way of using a pedal to control a channel's volume or anything else, such as the overall return level for the reverb or a filter plug-in's cut-off control.



Like Steinberg, MOTU are also a little bit guilty of Assignment-button-labelling confusion, with the Lexan Overlay not fitting around the Assignment button section of Mackie Control. The DP assignment mode for accessing other parameters via the V-pots is slightly unusual in that you press the I/O button to enter assignment mode on the LCD display, using the V-pots to access Pan, Send Value (for setting send effect levels or mutes), Send Out (to assign the outputs of send effects), Input (for setting track inputs), Output (to set track outputs), Effect (for adjusting plug-ins) and Preferences modes.



The remaining Assignment buttons on Mackie Control can be used as shortcuts for the assignment modes, except for the infamous Dyn button, which DP uses as a 'default' button. Pressing the Default button puts Mackie Control into Default mode, where you can press a channel's select button or V-pot to set the default value on that control. So, for example, with volume and pan assigned to the faders and V-pots respectively, pressing a channel's select button or V-pot sets volume to unity gain or pan to centre.



As I mentioned earlier, I think Digital Performer's Mackie Control support is well thought-out, mature and has many, many little features designed to make the most of the control surface. This is perhaps partly due to the fact that MOTU have long had support for Mackie's HUI, but whatever the reason, Mackie Control is an ideal partner for Digital Performer.

Incroyable, je peux télécharger tous les autres sauf celui ci c'est dingue quand même...
