How to use my TS 12 Ensoniq keyboard with Logic Pro X

I just got Logic Pro X but I have no idea how to use my midi keyboard. I have a midi to usb cable running between my TS-12 Ensoniq keyboard. How do I set up the drivers or really just get it all to work. I'm a noob to the hardware stuff though I'm quiet fimilar with Logic 9. Help would be great asap!

So I guess it can make the sound of one hand clapping?
Anyway...
Does the USB-MIDI cable need drivers? What brand is it? There are some cheap ones floating around ebay that don't work properly with all hardware. Assuming you've got a working one that needs no drivers, all you need to do is plug it in, the OS and Logic should detect it automatically. In Audio MIDI Setup (MIDI page) you can check if your Mac indeed recognizes the MIDI interface. It will not show the TS12 itself, just the MIDI interface.
You can find Audio MIDI Setup in Applications>Utilities.

    Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

    Hi,
    To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
    As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
    Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
    = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url​=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

    is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
    I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
    I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

    I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
    The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

    If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

  • Using Eventide Eclipse as outboard gear with Logic Pro 8/9

    Hi, people,
    Anyone using Eventide's Eclipse as outboard FX box with Logic Pro? I'm thinking of getting one and running it via digital I/O into my RME Fireface 800. Any info appreciated.
    Thanks, Scorpii.

    Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you .

  • How to use shortcut keys on wireless keyboard with ipad

    i just purchased an ipad 4 with a wireless keyboard and do not know how to use the function keys on the wireless keyboard to access the homescreen, scroll up and down, etc.  please help with anything i need to turn on/off or download . thanks

    If you have more than one keyboard active, you may be using a different one than you want.  Use the "globe" key to make sure your virtual keyboard is set to Japanese Romaji or Japanese Kana.  Which one do you use?
    On the hardware keyboard, use apple/command plus space to switch between different keyboard layouts which may be active.

  • Can I use my old Garageband Jam Packs with Logic Pro X?

    I'm in the process of moving all of my Logic X Library content to an external hard drive and it occurred to me that I still have 4 GarageBand Jam Packs that I might be able to use in Logic X. Does anyone know if there is any real difference in the loop content of the Jam Packs and the loops that are on Logic X ? Has anyone tried this and made any kind of comparison? Just wondering. Thanks.

    When you download all the additional content from within Logic Pro X.. any jam packs you are missing are then installed during that process... but if you already have them all installed the LPX additional content installer will find them and set them up for use in LPX.
    The content of the Jam packs are identical....

    Using Logic for this is way overkill, there's several free apps that could've done the job just as well.
    Good luck.

  • Using 2 or more USB instruments with Logic Pro

    I recently purchased a Korg M3 (which is great). I'm considering adding a Motif XS rack.. My question, are any Logic Users out there using Logic Pro with two or more USB instruments connected?
    Are there any issues with that (other than assigning to different MIDI channels)? Does USB bog down when there is too much data?

    I'm only using these three lines of code. If they don't work, neither will any more lines.
    I discovered the issue thought. If I read two different fields from the same user-defined table then it works. If I read from two different user-defined tables I get the error. Apparently B1 can't handle parameters being set from two different ud tables.
    This works:
    DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
    SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
    SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_CCode FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_CCode = '[%3]')
    While this does not:
    DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
    SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
    SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_AdCode FROM [dbo].[@BPGROUPS] T0 WHERE T0.U_AdCode = '[%3]')

  • How to use the Optical in on 002r with Logic Studio?

    Hi there
    i'm trying to figure out a problem that i really can't find a solution,i'm using Logic studio 8 whith Digi 002rack and 7.4 core audio version,my question is how to select in logic the optical IN of the 002r that in my case is connected to my triton rack synth?
    i can use the spdif in of the 002 but i can't find a way to use the optical in.
    thanks all

    I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
    As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
    I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
    To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
    All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.

  • How do I setup my keyboard with Logic Pro 9?

    I'm pretty technologically challenged, just got Logic and an Axiom Pro 49 today. I just want to figure out how to get a sound out of the keyboard because whatever I'm doing does not seem so be working. If someone can walk me through the process that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi Jon,
    1) Start by opening a new logic file.  Make sure you choose "empty project".
    2) Create a blank track.  Make sure you choose "Software Instrument".
    3) The Media window with the library tab should automatically open.  If they don't, click on Media, then choose "Library".  Choose an instrument to load.  Let's pick a piano (02 Acoustic Pianos>Steinway Piano Studio).
    Hope this helps!!

  • I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

    I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
    Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

    Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
    The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
    (1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks 
    (2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
    (3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
    Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
    I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now.  Airs, Pros, Retinas etc.  I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad.  It is wonderful.  Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
    In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
    The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots.  Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking.  If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
    I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook...  Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices.  If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits.  Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception.  Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
    Why should you care?  For *some* people the following is true and meaningful.  The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
    You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
    You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
    You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
    For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
    Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like.  And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
    Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go.  In addition:
    It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks. 
    It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
    Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
    Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard. 
    It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
    Pictures Below:
    My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference.  (As if you wouldn't)
    A slightly closer-up shot of just the RMBP with the Trackpoint Keyboard on top
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)

    Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
    The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
    Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off.  Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard.  Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

  • Using Edirol PCR keyboard with Logic

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using Logic with an Edirol PCR midi keyboard. From what I understand you can program the keyboard using Edirols software editor or using key mapping in Logic. I looks like it would be a lot easier to use the built in key mapping if it worked well opposed to programming the midi with the software. I also see that you can download a control map from Roland that was made for Logic 6 and was wondering if anyone knows if it works with 7 and how well if it does. I just hoping it will be easy to use use this keyboard with Logic beause it has knobs and sliders. The final question I have is if you can use an expression pedal connected to a midi keyboard with a guitar. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I also meant to ask if anyone has used a Tascam US-428 with Logic. I haven't found any control maps but it looks like support is built into Logic?

  • Script logic - how to use a selection variable within an allocation logic

    Hi,
    I want to implement a simple top-down distribution to distribute values from a yearly budget (Y20xx.TOTAL) to a quarter budget (Q20xx.Q1, ... Q20xx.Q4) using the actuals of the previous year as reference.
    If we hard code the members it works fine:
    *RUNALLOCATION
    *FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
    *DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
    *DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
    *DIM CATEGORY WHAT=SBO; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
    *ENDALLOCATION
    Of course, we want to make this dynamic, using the values inputted in the selection screen of the package: time, entity and category.
    So if we start with write the following logic, it does not work anymore:
    *RUNALLOCATION
    *FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
    *DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN); USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
    *DIM TIME WHAT=%TIME_DIM%; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL); USING=BAS(Q2008.TOTAL); TOTAL=<<<
    *DIM CATEGORY WHAT=%CATEGORY_DIM%; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL=<<<
    *ENDALLOCATION
    So, how to use the selection variables in this allocation logic? %TIME%, %CATEGORY% also did not work ...
    regards

    solved it ...
    Edited by: Dries Paesmans on Feb 22, 2009 8:31 PM

    Hi Dries,
    Looks like you solved this, but if I can just add a small point -- when you use syntax like this:
    *DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; WHERE=BAS(FIN);
    *DIM TIME WHAT=Y2009.TOTAL; WHERE=BAS(Q2009.TOTAL);
    each time the logic runs, it will scan through the dimension from the FIN and Q2009.TOTAL members, one level at a time, until it reaches the base members (where calc = 'n'). This may happen very quickly, if the dimension has very few levels, but could take a bit of extra time if it's a particularly deep dimension. (By which I mean many levels of hierarchy -- not some 1970's Pink Floyd musical reference.)
    You may speed things up by using a member property instead of the BAS(xyz). Flag all the base members using a specific property value, and that way the logic engine can pick up the complete list of members in the WHERE clause, in a single query.
    *DIM Account What=ACC_NOT_ASSIGNED; Where=[FloydProperty]="DarkSideOfTheMoon"; ...
    This adds some maitenance work in the dimension, which may be problematic if your admins are changing it regularly (and will cause problems if they forget to update this particular property).
    I can't predict how much time this will save you (maybe not much at all), but anyway I figure you'd want to know exactly what work you're asking the system to perform.
    Regards,
    Tim
