Hi there,

Have set all this up, and it appears to be working in that C9 is definitely working the master fader. But none of the other controls seem to do anything.

I definitely received the SysEx dump, and all three plug ins are set up with in and out assigned. Been through the thread a couple of times checking everything, and am scratching my head now.

I'm sure I'll work it out - it's obvious that the actual plug ins are working, as the master volume wasn't even doing anything until I double checked all the settings, at which point it suddenyl came to life.

Thanks for this, really interesting and useful.

Yeah, just can't get anything else happening.

I don't think I understand this well enough, really. I'm don't get the distinction between the plug ins and remote control. What is the remote control?

Don't you have to have the ACT properties open to do all of that?

It is my experience with ACT that you need to have the ACT properties page open in order to assign anything to anything. Once that is done it can be closed. Thats the one with the all the boxes for assigning controls. Its not all that intuitive for new users.

I wish you hadn't asked about how I have gotten along with this thread. I am still setting up Sonar in Vista. I had it all under control in XP with the neat stuff you have but hadn't use it yet. Now I am back at ground zero on this. I will get to it soon though. If only because you deserve my attention for the hard work you have put into this.

Should get my pro keys back today, look forward to doing some testing.

You can talk!
In every post I have seen you in, you had some strange sign language, like this

Yes,

thanks for the sharing. I will try and let you know.

Howdy Mr Barnes -

First of all, thank you very much for your efforts in putting this all together. Here are my top-line experiences -

1. The Enigma preset seems to work quite well, with one exception - slider C1 remained mapped to another CC#. Enigma showed a mapping for CC#75, but this didn't come through on repeated synchs and recalls of preset #10.
2. C2 and C8 both seem to have a different logarithmic scale applied to the slider compared to C1, C3-C7 and C9. Where the majority of these controls place the 100 value 80% of the way to the top of the slider's travel, C2 is at 100 around 15% of the way up, (ie. right at the bottom), and C8 is just under the midway point.
3. In your readme.txt file, you say "pressing one of these buttons" will either mute or solo a track, (B44-B51 and C52-C59 respectively). My experience is that you need to press the button twice for it to change state. I am not sure if this is what you intended or not.
4. The MMC controls seem to map correctly.

A couple of thoughts -

1. I wonder whether or not the FF and REW buttons, (A39 and A40), would be better mapped to jog forward and back by a bar?
2. I can't get this configuration to takeover a plugin's controls. I don't know whether this is outside the scope of this test process.
3. I do sort of agree with an earlier poster who thought using B18-B25 to control Send Level #1 and B10-B17 for Send Level #2 would be more intuitive. So said, this is neither here nor there...

An off-topic question for you - are you using Vista 32 or 64-bit? I cannot get Enigma v1.2 to work in Vista x64 so I am using Windows XP 32 SP3 for these tests.

Nice work!

Ciao,

Q.

Interesting thread.

I also have problems with my PS88. It keeps loosing the preset i do in the act learn page. It's not asking me if i want to keep the changes. I'm not using it for the volume, pan and send, i allready have a control surface for that. Anyway can get it to work. Anyone with the same problem, or anyone with a solution ?

Thanks

Wow! I've love it. So easy a blind guy can do it. However, I load the preset in to my ks, via Enigma, but when I turn my rig off, and come back it's not saved. Is there something I have to do to retain it to memory? I've tried reading the manual, but I am totally blind, and the pdf just shows some graphics, which my screen reader can't read. After I send the enima preset to the ks, do I need to store it?

If I recall correctly, after you send the preset to the KSP 88 via Enigma, you have to recall preset 10. After that, the Keystation should save or remember your current setup if you turn the keystation off with the current preset selected. You can also use store to make sure your current setup is saved.

I'm glad the preset works for somebody. When you say you're blind, do you mean literally or figuratively? I'm thinking you mean figuratively.

Ok I did everything you said to do. When you say recall on the keystation pro, you men just press recall? Did that. Nothing works. I just got the unit today, so Im trying to figure it out...

I opened enigma, opened your file with it, sent it to the keyboard via the double arrows, then pushed recall. Then I opened a new project with the 8 track audio preset. When I tried to control the master fader with the C9 fader, no luck....

What am I missing?

I did go into options and set the keystation pro 88 as a controller. That didnt help.

Thanx, Lance

C9 is not assigned to anything with the new preset files. To assign C9 as Master fader in a project, right click on the Master fader in console view and select "remote control," and use the learn button to assign it.

To recall a preset on the KSPro88 you press recall, and before the display stops blinking, you use the number keys on the KSPro88 to punch in the preset you want to recall. You have to recall a preset after you send the data to the KSPro88 from Enigma.

There is a Keystation preset for the KeyStation Pro88 in the ACT dropdown preset list as of SONAR 8. You can try using that to make your own setups. I've had little success with the preset I've been sharing working as intended.

I've was looking over at M-Audio if they had a preset. They only point you to using ACT. I tried that and I got stuck on how to SHIFT to assigned the KS88 record button to Sonar's record! How do you get shift to work in ACT?

In the meantime I'm going to give these presets a shot.

Thanks!

Hi dizzywig:

These setup files were made with the Keystation Pro 88 connected directly to a USB port on the computer. and I don't know anything about the MIDISport. The only thing I can suggest is to connected the KS Pro 88 directly to a usb port on the front or back of your computer (then, you should see the KSP 88 MIDI ports in the connected devices drop down menu for the MIDI plug ins/control surfaces).

I don't know what version of SONAR you are using, but SONAR 8.0 had a ACT Plug In preset for the keystation Pro 88. but I no longer see the preset after I updated to 8.0.1 or 8.0.2.
