when pressing play on the Komplete Kontrol S61MK2, the “Joystick” of Halion (Sonic and SE too) jumps to the upper middle position.
The channel monitoring is active
Controlling the MID data with MIDI-Monitor gives me this data:
When pressing play via spacebar or transportpanel the joystick stays in the center position.
I’ve tried this with Logic and the Joystick stays in the center positiion and no MIDI data like with Cubase is generated.
Those are MIDI CC Messages 17 and 19 (General Purpose Controller 2 and 4 respectively). The vertical parameter of Halion’s Sphere Control is by default assigned to General Purpose Controller 2.
I don’t use a Komplete Kontrol keyboard, but you might want to check in the MIDI Assignment Editor that you haven’t by accident set the Play button to send CC 17 (unlikely if the message doesn’t show up in Logic). By default this seems to be sent by Knob 4.
