assigning midi to the transport buttons on Logic 8

Hi guys, I have an M-audio axiom 25 and Logic 8 and hoping someone could help me. My keyboard started spazzing out a bit so i did a reset on it (powered up and pressed -&+). It fixed the problem but i can seem to assign my buttons to the transport controls in logic (the record, play etc) I tried hitting apple L and then clicking what i wanted to assign but it just wont let me assign buttons. If i press play after apple L for example it just plays my project, not assings (yes im pressing the button to assign)

Any light you coukld shed would be super helpful, my workflow needs bringing back up to speed!

Cheers!

I have been having few midi learn problems lately too - not assigning etc..

have you checked your MMC settings in the Preferences?

not sure what u mean by mmc settings, im a bit of a noob only just getting my feet wet so to speak!

anyway, i can play the pads and keyboard and everything is fine and dandy with the setup, and i can assign to things in the channel strip, just curiously the transport i cant do it with! was wondering if im doing it wong... if anyone is up for giving me a spazzy step by step foolproof way im all ears !

ah right ok

preferences > midi > Sync

Midi sync project settings >

under the section Midi Machine Control (MMC)
tick both boxes

..as far as im aware you have to do this on each new project (hopefully someone can enlighten us otherwise)

click on the button right at the bottom of that tab
where it says Midi sync project settings - with will then come up with another tab with the options of - 'Transmit MMC' etc...

preferences>key commands.

MMC has absoilutely nothing to do w/ the transport stuff unless you're using a tape deck that understands MMC.
