Hi,

I'm using my microKontrol with Logic, and think it's great that it works in native mode. However, there are some functions, such as tapping in a tempo, that I'd like to use aswell, how can I use these built in functions while in native mode?

Many thanks

You most likely have to kill the native mode. You can kill it by deleting microKontrol in control surface setup, getting back by re-scanning. There may a hardware key command to kill native mode on microKontrol itself but if my memory serves doing it can occasionally makes Logic unstable.

Hmmm, Yeah this is something I found before, A frustrating way to do it. I really want to be able to pick and choose my functions to keep while in native mode.

You might take a look at (full) Mackie Control emulation via LC Xmu. While somewhat different to the native Logic support (so you need to re-learn some stuff), this will allow you to choose which MK controls emulate MC controls, which pass through to Logic, and lets you exit/re-enter native mode on the fly, change the keyboard channel while in native mode, etc. See my signature.

There are user modes in the native handling in Logic. Simply use scne+pad to enter one of the user modes, then MIDI learn a pad to whatever key commands you want, including the tap tempo function.

This is the purpose of the user modes in Logic's native mK handling.
