Novation Remote Sl 25 User Manual
Greetings,
I have looked through the archives regarding problems with the Novation ReMOTE SL 25 Midi controller, but cannot find an answer to help me get this thing working. The startup guide and the user manual has very little helpful information for Logic users.
I completed the following steps, and yet still cannot get the Novation to respond to anything (with a few exceptions listed below)...
I attached the Novation to a USB port on my display (which is connected to my G5 tower)... the Novation lit up, but it was on template #1 for the V-station 1. Using the data select button, I scrolled through the templates to #33 (for Logic 7). I then installed the Setup Remote ZeRO SL software from the supplied DVD (which was a major pain because the DVD forced me to change my DVD region location twice before finding my way to the software packages on the DVD). Then I installed the packages software entitled 'ReMOTESLSetupLogic'.
Then I launched Logic Pro 7.2.3 on my G5. Then I went to Preferences and Control Surfaces and Setup. Selecting 'New' from the drop down menu, I selected 'Scan all models'. The Novation ReMOTE SL then showed up in the list of models. I clicked add, and the device showed up connected to the computer (although the icon is for the keyboard version... I have the zero version without the keyboard).
I scrolled through the templates on the SL 25 using the data/select dial, and selected #33 for Logic 7. The LED display shows some familiar parameters in Logic, but in spite of moving sliders and pots on the SL 25, nothing happens in Logic. By the same token, and changes made in Logic has no effect on the SL 25, except for one thing mentioned below. My arrange window in Logic shows 8 of the tracks highlighted for the controller, but nothing happens when I move any of the sliders and pots on the SL 25.
I then scrolled to template #39 which is the Logic Automap on the SL 25. Once again, nothing happens when I move sliders and pots on the SL 25. In the Setup window in Logic the following settings are noted... Out port is set to All, and Input is set to 'Midi Port'. The other choices for Input is 'Capslock keyboard', and 'Keystation 49e' (which is a keyboard also connected to the computer).
My audio interface is a MOTU traveler (which I presume is related to 'Midi Port').
The only interaction I can observe between the SL 25 and Logic is that the tempo light on the SL 25 flashes in sync with the tempo when Logic is in play mode with the metronome. The MIDI activity window on the transport window is silent when any sliders or pots are moved on the SL 25, whereas the window shows activity whenever the keys on my Keystation 49e are pressed.
How can I fix this problem? Thank you for whatever help can be provided.
