Simplon MIDI Learn not working in Logic?
Hi guys,
Love Simplon....and I'd love to get the MIDI learn function working in Logic!
Basically I put Simplon in an insert for an audio instrument. I hit 'Learn', wiggle say, the cutoff filter, and then wiggle my modulation wheel....and nothing happens. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
BTW, my end goal in doing this is I want to set up an X/Y Vector fader in my Logic environment that I can use to control both the cutoff AND resonance at the same time. I want to put this X/Y Vector fader on a touchscreen, and control that way.

Hi Christopher,
Want you want is possible in Logic, but you kind of need a work-around to get Logic to route MIDI to an effect plug-in.
You have to insert the effect plug-in as an *instrument* in an instrument track. And then route sound through it via the side-chain. You can read more about it here:

Hello. I Have the same problem. Tutorial on the link is about Logic 7 but I using Logic 9. How can I resolve this issue??? Please help! (Sorry for my English)
Same problem but with Saturn.
This should be working considering the price of this plugin...

@David: Unfortunately we can't change Logic's inner workings no matter how we price Saturn. :-)
The MIDI Learn topic in the help file explains how to route MIDI to the plugin in various hosts (scroll to "Routing MIDI to effect plug-ins"):

Cheers,
DAW MIDI routing seems to still be in the dark ages all across the board. It literally took me months to get two of my plugins communicating, something that I initially figured might take 20 minutes allotting for the time to read the Cubase manual. I eventually got it working by installing a third party plugin called loopMIDI and setting up a Generic Remote in Cubase. It's still buggy.
MIDI routing and automation/modulation is by far the least user-friendly thing that I deal with in Cubase.
