ok, this is ting me..!

i have been attempting to connect the novation 49sl mkII to logic 8. I followed the pdf.doc on the install disc for novation. I only have the USB cord connected from novatation to mac. no midi cords yet.

went into logic etc and added mackie HUI - HUI then followed the other directions. went to the Environment section and clicked edit add monitor, connected up the damm virtual leads and wallah.

now i keep getting this HUI warning box popping up, i have no idea. have read a little on the net some other people having same prob, any advise most greatful.

i looked at the youtube clip for novation on set up, however the configs when they get to the environment section seem diff to those i get in mine.

any help appreciated.

thanks

First thing Energy, NEVER use the supplied disc for any drivers. ALWAYS go to the manufacturers website and get the latest (not beta) drivers.

I think you're getting the HUI warning because it's a interface protocol based on a template and even though the 49sl uses one, it's an automap feature, so you have to use the right tmeplte

try this:

The HUI mode in the Automap Server was originally introduce for Nocturn users, because the Nocturn do not have templates system like the SL, and there was no way of controlling DAW such as Logic and Pro Tools.

Hence now SL users has a choice between the two.

Logic HUI, using template 38, this emulates a Mackie HUI control surface; whereas Logic Automap, using template 39, is dedicated control surface written for the SL.

The main differences are you can freely re-assign controls the way you like in Logic HUI, whereas the control in Logic Automap is fixed and cannot be edited. Logic Automap has both mixer and instrument mode whereas Logic HUI only control the mixer. Plus you do not get actual value feedback in HUI mode, display is only between 0-127; whereas in Logic Automap, you get actual value display, such as fader level in dB for example.

Thanks, i knew you would come to the rescue really really appreciate it. I dont have a net connection for the mac yet looks like i hav to get one. Also, when i install the new drivers for logic automap, will it replace the existing drivers or do i need to remove them manually.

thanks again

edit: i am actually getting 3 sliders and roughly three pots that are giving readings in mackie HUI but thats all.
