Midi Learn activating slider and volume pedal

equipment: Studio Logic SL88 Grand and SL Mixface.
Get everything set. Hit midi learn and move a slider. Turn midi learn off. Slider works fine. But then something is happening where control jumps to my volume pedal. Now both are controlling. I believe the pedal is on CC#11 and the slider is CC#12? What is happening and how to correct it. Thanks guys.

Do you use widget groups?

Hey pianopaul. Thanks for responding. I’m very new to the program, so at this point I’m keeping everything very simple. Example: Choose midi block(SL88); Choose instrument (keyscape wurli); Gain and Volume(GP);. Go into panel edit. Choose wurli plug in volume and highlight gain. Turn on midi learn and move the first slider on the mixface. I can see it move on screen. Turn learn and edit off. Slider is in control of the volume. However, the minute I move my volume pedal, it stars controlling the volume. Along with the slider. I can use volume pedal to increase the volume and turn it down with the slider. But not vice versa. I can’t have the slider down and have any volume change with the pedal. Silent. Tring to isolate , but can’t figure it out.

You should use a gain plugin after your Wurlitzer and control that with a widget.
Now you are controlling the volume parameter of the plugin with a widget.
Seems that incoming MIDI directly controls the volume of the plugin.

Are you speaking of the gain and volume control? I have that placed after the wurli. Then on the panel front I have a vertical widget midi learned to my first slider on my mixface. But the minute I place my foot on the volume control, it transfers the volume command to both. Thanks

Ok, can you please upload a small gig file, so I could check the issue?

Thank you. I’ll get it to you when I get home from work

Talk about computer illiterate. Haven’t used this forever. Hope it gets to you.

It is not clear if you want to have volume control simultaneously from the fader and the expression pedal or if you prefer the fader only.

Regarding the fader it seems that you are controlling a widget mapped to a GP gain plugin and it seems to be fine. Right ?

But the expression pedal is not mapped to anything, it only sends MIDI CC#11 that your plugin can receive as MIDI message and change its expression volume accordingly. If you don’t want this (and you usually don’t want this :wink:), then you have to block the corresponding MIDI messages in the Event Blocking section of your MIDI in block. Block at least Volume and All CC events, but I personally block them all except note on and note off and perhaps sustain, and if needed I assign them to widgets mapped to some parameters as you did with the fader.

Regarding your video, it could be much easier if you could send us important screenshots with your written questions or comments. :wink:

That did the job. Thank you sooooo much. I would do midi learn and run the slider. Worked perfectly. But the minute I touched the FC7 pedal, volume control, it partnered with the slider with no more midi learn. It just happened. I blocked volume and expression and that stopped the interaction. I’m new at this midi stuff, so I couldn’t see how CC#11 and CC# 12 could merge with no mapping or midi learn involved. Thanks again. You saved my weekend.
