Solo Button Automation In Logic?

hello, just wondered if anyone could help me out with a minor problem; is it possible to record solo button automation so that i can record in when a solo button is pressed and released to solo that track? this would be really handy to me and save a lot of other automation recording.
if anyone could let me know if i need to record this in the track mixer or the audio environment and what sort of track i should assign to this ie. bus automation, record it onto the track that i want to solo etc.
any help much appreciated!
cheers,

Can Oxygen 8 Store Configurations?

hello, thanks for checking this.
i just bought an oxygen 8 to use in logic and reason and it works fine except every time i want to control a different soft synth or parameter in logic i have to re-ssign the midi controller numbers to the 8 knobs. this doesn't take very long but it would be really handy if there is a way that the oxygen 8 can store different configurations or if it is possible to store these configurations on my powerbook and then send them accross via sysex or something, i'm not terribly knowledgeable about sysex so i may have this wrong, heh.
i have been trying to read up on the oxy 8 on the net and see if it is possible to store more than the last configuration on the keyboard. there is no mention of this in the manual, midiman haven't responded to my email either. i have seen conflicting views as to whether the oxy 8 can store configurations.
if anyone has managed to do this successfully or if anyone knows of a way that the different configurations could be stored on the powerbook then sent across to the oxy 8 it would be really handy and make working with it a lot more pleasurable!
any help is much appreciated,
thankyou,

New Mac User! Osx Or Os9?

hello, thanks for checking my message.

i will be getting my new powerbook next week and am not sure whether to run osX or os9 as i don't know if there are sufficient programs, virtual instruments and plugins available yet on the osX platform.

i currently run cubase 5 but plan to change to logic eventually though i will initially be using both on the mac until i complete the tracks half done in cubase!

If anyone could advise me whether its worth running osX now that would be great as it would save me a lot of trouble of buying and installing loads of programs (if they exist!) and finding that there are essential things i cannot use. i plan to use the two sequencers mentioned as well as lots of softsynths and effects.

any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
