For the MC I don't use ACT. It is supposed to work. I'm not asking for a feature to be implemented I am asking for the MC dll to work with the X series as it did pre X.    

Im not using the MC, just trying to get an axiom61 working w/ act.
 
New bug.  I learn the bottom row of buttons.  Click box, it says learn, I push the button, all good.. . .
 
But in order to activate the button, I have to push any of them twice. !??!  It registered with a single button push, but to use any button, I have to push it twice.

You might find something on your system might be corrupted regarding ACT. Control of the prochannel using ACT works very well on my system.

This thread relates specifically to FX chains. John is referring to the control that used to exist on channel EQ and compressors prior to X1 using a Mackie based controller.

That's how I know that ACT works well. I switched to that method from the MCU. I am not at my system at the moment to refresh my memory on what files need to be deleted to reset ACT.

If no one else jumps in in the meantime I will be back to my studio later today to help. You'll probably get more help if you start a fresh thread specific to your problem. The title of this thread doesn't reflect your issue.

BTW in the context of the original thread, I'm pretty sure that I added ACT support for the individual plugins in an FX chain in X3d or  X3E. You have to open the plugin UI and give it focus for it to work. Its been awhile since I looked at that so maybe I'm dreaming :)

What Freddie said Midi Learn.. It use to work just fine . Without having something ACT up . Just saying it's not just one person experiencing failure/flakiness with ACT . NI did something real cool native map , to every parameters. Hmmm

It works, Noel. It didn't for a while, but it does now. :-) You kinda slipped it in on us quietly without saying anything. I remember Scook pointing it out to me that it now works and I was like, Really?? haha. It made it possible for me to use my pedals with TH2 while having TH2 in the Pro Channel, so I was psyched.
 
I do have a video in my signature on using a midi controller with TH2 using ACT.

There's more than one way to use ACT, here's my favorite way that's fast and simple. The section on creating links is super-important no matter how you use ACT. ACT seems very "buggy" if you miss a few fundamental setup details. But try my "scratchpad" approach, it really works well for tweaking parameters without having to think too much.

It does work, and it seems reasonable to me that you need to give focus to what you want to control since that's a fundamental aspect of ACT. Also, of course you can control FX chains parameters via standard automation.

Craig,
I found your SOS article and after following it verbatim I was able to gain control over the ProChannel.  
 
It seems to behave differently when selecting ACT learn from the pulldown menu versus choosing it from the transport button.  When I use the pulldown menu -> blue act button -> learn -> deslect act button, there is a pop up that asks for confirmation.
 
When I use the tansportbar button to bring up the ACT window, and follow the same procedure, there is never a confirmation dialog.  I wonder if the absence of the confirmation dialog indicates there is a problem.
 
Also, the stuttering I was seeing had something to do with how the Axiom was transmitting controller values.  I needed to use a different preset from the controller.

 That's exactly why I came up with the ad hoc mapping technique described in my blog post. I don't want to have to remember a bunch of mappings, just create a quick mapping on the fly when I need to tweak - then go back to making music.
