assigning knobs on my midi controller

[jerjaxon]

wow. mixcraft kicks butt. anyway, i just got an m audio oxygen 25 midi controller, which works great, no problems setting it up with mixcraft. my question is, there are a bunch of knobs on the controller. how do i assign them to control specific filter and ocsillator fuctions on the minomouge and messiah? i'm all set to do some sweet "on the run" type pink floyd stuff, but i need help!

Hi,

With both the Messiah and the MinimogueVA, right-click on a knob and select "Learn," then twiddle the knob on your MIDI controller that you want to assign to that virtual knob.

Hey jerjaxon, I just picked up my Oxygen 25 today and literally just set it up.....can you help me out?

It sems to work fine with mixcraft in terms of it recognizing it and ive been able to 'record' with it, but i have HUGE (and probably stupid) question:

How do i access all of the instrument sounds ON the Oxygen 25??

The manual has a list of all the available instruments/effects, but I can't figure out how to access them :(

any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I have an M-Audio keystation pro 88 MIDI keybnoard and contoller.

I would like assign to Mixcraft tracks separately buttons on my keyboard.

Possible: "Next track", "Previous track" etc. assign to separately controllers.

I would like: Assign to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3 etc., separately buttons, so only one press would be enough to change track in Mixcraft6.

It is possible?

Hi!

MIDI control in Mixcraft will only work on one track at a time (this will be changing - possibly with Mixcraft 7)

However, you can go through tracks - previous, next etc.

Go to Mix > control surfaces and you will see a whole lot of stuff you can control. Just click MIDI Learn and select the items you want to control.

Hope this helps!

Thanks trevlyns,

When can we expect the release of Mixcraft7?

...about....

...and what improvements can be expected?

[trevlyns]

The Mixcraft boys will have to answer that one

Talk is about a year or so.

Hi,

We haven't started work on Mixcraft 7 yet; it will be a year or more away. Since we haven't even started designing it, there's no feature list at this point.

Trevlyns, I have a stupid question - i am using a similar m-audio oxygen midi keyboard, but its the 49 key version which has more cc buttons i think. i am trying to do what you said with assigning next track / previous track. i can assign previous or next track to one of the buttons i want to use, but i when i go to assign the other, it thinks its the same button, ie they both come up as cc / 32 / 0. i tried the logical thing and changed the 32 to a 33, but no dice. This particular row of buttons is really the only one i can use too, and all the buttons have the same result. i know its possible to seperate them, because fl studio automatically assigns each button to a track/channel. any suggestions? thanks

Hi HPizzle,

The M-Audio Oxygen49 has two 'track' buttons at the upper left next to the mod wheel:

I assigned those buttons for my Oxygen49. They work no problem.

They're CC 110 and 111.

[HPizzle]

That is the model III right? i should have specified i have the model II (the gray one, that unfortunately does not have those buttons) :/ I may upgrade eventually, but for now i need to find a solution with what I've got.

This should be the manual for your unit:

Here's the manual for the newer 49 and 61-key keyboards:
http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/ma ... t08_EN.pdf

You have to assign CC#'s to the buttons. The procedure is described on page 10 of the old manual. Don't know why they're not already programmed. All of the buttons on my unit were CC#0 from the factory.

Here's what I would do to assign buttons on your keyboard:
1) Press 'Advanced'
2) Press 'Ctrl Assign' (your low C note)
3) Press the Control Button you wish to program
4) Press in the CC# you wish to assign to the button
--- use the white keyboard keys in your upper octaves to select numbers
--- I suggest programming each button to the same number written below it
5) Press the Enter key (your high C note)
6) Repeat for each button you want to program

Now go back into Control Surfaces in Mixcraft and 'learn' those buttons in!

thanks Vibrant Audio, that worked! Just one minor thing - step 3 should be step one actually (it assigns whatever the last controller that you used was). It didn't wok for me the first time cuz i didn't do it in that order. my old (same) keyboard got stolen, and i never had to mess with any of that, but the preowned one i got to replace it was apparently all outta whack. just glad it was fixable

[Vibrant Audio]

Sweet! Glad you got it.
