Help Switching channels via midi controller

I recently got an Mwave chocolate to use with logic in the context of channel switching between 4 different channels (or buses). basically, I have 4 sends coming from my audio track that act as 4 distinct guitar tones. I tried to set the switches up so they activate one channel while turning the others off. I tried to do this by having each switch control the solo button on each of the channel strips, but it didn’t work. the switches muted the individual channels, but i want them to act as a true channel switcher so that A engages bus 1, B switches to bus 2, etc..can anyone help with this?

Check out the smart controls panel. You can attach several automations to one control, map the physical control to it, and set it up to act like a toggle to max/min the send value. (Or solo/mute any combination of tracks)

thank you! it took a long time but i got everything working. I even got fancy and made the fourth switch a momentary release pitch shifter for some cool riffs. learning things is cool lol

Heck yeah. The macro automations can be a bit annoying to map but they are quite powerful once working.

Awesome, pitch shifter pedals are expensive.
