Locking midi controller expression data to midi note data. How to do it?

I am recording some sax and trumpet lines into Logic using Samplemodeling software (The Trumpet, The Sax Brothers). The data goes into Logic on a midi channel.
At the same time as playing the notes, I am using an expression pedal to control different aspects of the sound (cc64, but it could be set to anything midi controller number, as long as I also set it in the Samplemodeling software and make sure that Logic receives and Samplemodeling sends on the same midi channel).
The midi note data and midi data record properly. However, I am having a problem with editing. If I move the note in time (i.e. shift it left or right in piano roll), the cc64 data does not move with it. I can see the data, and of course, could cut and paste it or hyper draw it, but that would be very time consuming. Is there a way to lock the expression data to the note data so that when you move the note the midi controller data moves as well. I assume the same question would apply to pitch/volume/pan or any other controller, but I have not tried that.
Alternately, is there another way to record the data, so it is locked to the midi notes?
Many thanks
Steven
If it is relevant, I am using:
Logic 9 Studio
Mac 2.93 Dual Quad
Novation Keyboard

Well, I routed around in the manual and finally found the answer. There is a pull down menu which allows you to choose to tie together the non-note midi data to the note data.
"Turn on the Functions > Include Non-Note MIDI Events setting to tie other data (such as pitch-bend, modulation, aftertouch, or poly pressure) in a region to the region’s notes."
Problem solved.

Logic randomly playing midi notes. How do I turn it off?

When i solo a track logic triggers a midi note. same with mute and selecting and pretty much every button and menu in logic triggers a midi note or CC. What is going on here? My midi keyboard keeps playing notes cuz logic keep triggering them.
Solo plays a F1
Mute plays a E1
Record plays a C2
selecting a track plays a D4
Everything triggers a midi note or CC. it's bugging me a messing up my sessions. Pleases help me.

This is happening to me to. Everytime I open logic to work on something new, the midi instrument just keeps looping C2 over and over again. What gives?
Is it C2 or C-2?

HT200006 My iPhone 5 is freezing and the sound Is not loud how it should

My iPhone 5 has been freezing locking by itself and the sound is not loud how its use to be can someone tell me why this is happen I have only had this phone for this year

wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

How do I move cc 64 (sustain) data in sync when I move midi notes?

In the matrix editor, when I 'Select All Following' in order to move everything that follows back a few ticks to get rid of a rythmic hesitation, the sustain pedal data doesn't move with the notes. Obviously, this messes up the piano pedaling. Is there a way to 'attach' the controller info to the notes when I move them, or is there a better view window in which to this sort of editing? Thanks!

I was trying to figure this out myself and didn't understand the previous reply at first. But after a few seconds playing around I got it. If you open the midi matrix editor (in the 'windows' menu) you can select the notes you desire to move. After selecting the notes go to the event list (in the 'windows' menu). You should see the notes you've already selected in the event list highlighted in gray.
The items listed as 'control' are the sustain pedal controls in the midi information. (you can tweak these number values here as well). Holding the 'shift' key down, click all of the sustain pedal control items that you want to move. They should be within and/or around the already highlighted notes (the list is in order of sequence of the song). Once all is selected you can switch back to the matrix editor and drag the notes where you want them like normal, but you will also be moving the sustain information since you selected it in the event list.
Also, within the matrix editor itself you can use the view menu and navigate to the hyper draw option and choose sustain pedal. Now you can see the sustain controls under the midi notes and edit the length, etc. You can use the little arrow on the left to change what the hyper draw editing will change as well (volume, sustain pedal, etc.). Hope that helps.

MIDI note input appears 1 octave lower when controller pads are hit

I can't figure this out and I've wasted 5 hours today trying to correct it....
I have recently noticed that midi input from my padKontrol is being transposed down 1 octave (ie I hit an A2, it appears and sounds in my midi applications as A1). This does not occur with midi data that comes direct from my Axiom 61 keyboard; however, it does happen with another device (MV8000) I have that uses the Axiom's Midi IN interface. I hit a pad on the Mv that is assigned to A2, it shows up as A1 in the Logic transport. In Battery it will trigger the cell assigned to A1 instead of A2.
I'm perplexed because it is happening with two different devices on two different interfaces, yet the Axiom doesn't do it on its own ouput, but it does occur on the data received at the midi in on its interface. Doesn't make sense and it occurs both in Logic and Battery. I'm thinking its an AMS/Core Midi issue since hte padKontrol is truly plugnd play (did not have to install drivers), but I dont have clue on how to get AMS to act right. I couldn't find another applicable forum to post this so I am asking here since Logic is the closest subject to my issue.
Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for the response. I know the two pieces of hardware that are impacted pretty well and they have no setting to transpose outbound midi notes in realtime. I bellieve I found the problem to actually be software related, In Logic, somehow I had the middle C setting set to C3. When I switched it to Roland C4, which I think is the default, the notes I hit on my controller and the MV appeared in the transport as they were programmed. As far as Battery goes, I think it may default to midlle C at C3 (I'll have to check), but I set it to transpose midi input up 1 octave.

MIDI note delay / stagger using Caps Lock keyboard and 3rd party plugins

Whenever I am using any of the following plugins:
Waldorf PPG Wave, Waldorf D-Pole or Audio Damage Reverence,
with the respective plugin windows open, I can hit several notes on the Caps Lock keyboard simultaneously and some of them will trigger after the rest.
Interestingly, Reverence and D-Pole are effects, and so placing them on any audio instrument, including those that came with Logic, causes them to behave as PPG Wave always does when its plugin window is open.
The delay time seems to be variable.
When the plugin windows are closed, there is no delay.
As well, triggering many notes at once or notes in quick succession seems to cause things to stagger up more.
Sometimes the MIDI notes get stuck and continue playing until they are pushed again.
This seems strange to me, as CPU usage on the plugins is extremely low (the CPU meter does not even register a single mark).
The problem does NOT occur if I draw out a MIDI sequence that does precisely the sort of things that cause the holdups when I am using the Caps Lock keyboard.
Is the Caps Lock keyboard just not very good at certain things?
Why would this problem occur only with these specific plugins?
None of Logic's included plugins have this problem (unless of course I stick Reverence or D-Pole on them as an insert and open the Reverence window).
Naturally this is an inconvenience that can be worked around, but it is annoying.
Thanks for your time.

Hey Rob,
I opened up the Activity Monitor, and CPU usage in Logic Express is 35-40% with the plugin window open and between 16-20% with it closed.
That doesn't seem to be it, but your suggestion that the Caps Lock keyboard is probably just not good at handling many notes at once is definitely correct.
I plugged in a MIDI keyboard and the CPU usage is the same, but there is no staggering problem.
Perhaps there is something off with the CPU meter in Logic Express 7, though.
The Audio side registers activity, but the CPU side says nothing, when clearly the Activity Monitor has it right.
Anyway, thank you for answering my question--it is sort of an annoying little problem, but I just won't play fast with Caps Lock, I suppose.

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?

How to program a midi foot controller on Mainstage? Does anyone knows how to program the foot controller with exclusive solo channel in order not to dance "tip tap" while from clean guitar I go to crunch or solo? How to do this programming on Mainstage?
I basically managed to learn how to invert parameters which allows me to be as default in the clean guitar channel and if I switch the first button on the midi foot controller I switch to crunch, but at this point I tryied so hard to programm the second and third button to switch, only through a button in one step, to a third channel for distorsion or a 4th channel for solo guitar but I couldn't figured out how this work can be done!
I would appreciate if anyone could help or share this experience with others who are experiencing the same problem.
Cheers.

I cannot seem to get mainstage to recognize my FCB either. I am using IFCB. Anyone figure this out?
Thanks,

Midi note B below middle C is being played as Eb (below middle C) in the region only

When I'm recoding midi I'm running into a very strange problem..... randomly the B below middle C gets re-routed to Eb (below middle C). It shows right visually in the region, and when I go back to the controller and play the B note it plays correctly but when playing back the region it plays the Eb. Sometimes it will play back correctly but after a while it will happen and when it happens there is no way to make it do anything else....i tried other plugins , other tracks but it stays the same. Again, when you open the region to look at the midi, the midi notes are in the right place, if I click on the Bb note in the region it plays an Eb but if I go to the controller and play a B it plays a B...???. I have looked through everything to try and find anything that would be causing this but haven't found any reason for this.... it is very strange that it is only happening to one note and it always does the same thing....B to Eb....

Yep, that's a known glitch. Very hard to repeat, but reports keep trickling in. There are a few solutions though, but no method of preventing it. Since I reported it first, I haven't encountered it again. Knock on wood.

Logic Pro X: One MIDI note won't play

I am having a strange problem with Logic Pro X. I use a Yamaha CP33 as my main MIDI keyboard, connected by USB. In the past couple weeks, a strange problem has emerged - one of the notes from the keyboard, the B-2, to be specific, just doesn't trigger. At first I thought the key was broken, but it's okay, because:
- all keys work fine when I use the keyboard's analog audio output
- all keys work fine in MainStage
- the non-functional key moves up and down if I choose to transpose the notes on the keyboard.
So I have concluded that it's a software issue specific to Logic. I have already tried reinstalling the Yamaha USB MIDI driver, it didn't help. Could it be some obscure setting in Logic that is messing things up? What do you suggest can I do to fix this?

Hi
You may have set up LPX to use that MIDI note as an automation control, or as a keycommand
a) Go to Preferences;Controller Assignments & check there
b) Go to Preferences Key Commands and check there
Might be quicker to reset aboth?

Recording 'Volume' with the midi notes??

Has anyone figured out how to get GB-09' to record:
-midi volume at the same time your playing the actual midi notes in? ( all at once )
+maybe expression pedal or volume pedal? or re-mapping sysex, or....
GB 9' version 5.1 (398)

GB doesn't record volume changes in Real Time, it does, however record velocity (which may appear as volume changes, depending on the instrument)

Set up midi notes input for plugin like Harmony engine evo

Hi!
Can anyone tell me how to set up for midi notes input to a plugin. Lets say you have a keyboard that sends notes info and it works fine to run an instrument in a instrument channel with it. Now, if you want to send this notes to a audio plugin like Harmony engine Evo from Antares that resides in a audio channel, how do you do it? It seems like the only midi you can get thru is controller messenges and thats not of any help to create harmonies from midi chord.

I think this is the standard chat about getting those tracks in the autoload to get the instrument to sound, as in getting the QT instruments to sound when they play MIDI on those tracks...
For those who posted.. A couple of tips -
1) Read the manual about audio instruments
2) Check out David's thread called Troubleshooting tips for new users or something like that. I'm sure he will correct me.
If you still can't get it to happen, let us know. In general, the Logic EXS sounds will be better that the QT sounds, so you might as well ignore them really.
Best, Fred

Midi not working at all.

Hi I have a RME hammerfall multiface soundcard plugged into a G5 dual 2.3
I load up different AU instruments in logic 7.1 and no sound. I look at the transport panel and no midi notes are registering.
I thought maybe it was logic, but then I loaded up different native instrument standalones which used to work and they also do not work.
I get audio to work fine... just midi suddenly has stopped working
Any idea how to fix it?, any preferences that I need to trash etc... i'm totally lost as to what to do....
thanks heaps.
Prahlad.

If oyur MIDI interface shows activity when you send data check your audio Midi setup. Check if your interface has a thru or bypass mode. Verify it gets as far as Audio MIDI setup or not.

Can I Pan a single midi note

Is it possible to pan a single midi note in the matrix viewer in Logic? When I edit my midi data in the matrix I sometimes want to pan certain notes left or right but I can't figure out how to do it? This would especially helpful when editing drum loops so I can pan hi hat or certain sounds to certain positions.

to add to another post on this thread. if you are using the exs24 multi-channel insert you can assign different sound as aux channel inputs. this will allow you to pan your cymbals as you wish.
you can also use a multi-channel ultrabeat to do the same. next to the pan button for the instrument in ultrabeat you will see the word main. click on that and then you can assign an output for that specific sample.
from there you can go to an aux channel and assign the input of the aux to the ultrabeat or exs multi-channel output, and put effects, pans, volume and such.
very usefull.

CC to Midi Notes in Mainstage????

Hi all,
I've set up an instance of EXS24 at concert level of MainStage to a second controller. I'm doing this so I can run a 6 second loop of pads in the background no matter what patch I am using.
Problem is I need to latch this note so that i can switch the pads on and off, and EXS24 doesn't accept CC information to trigger samples, it needs notes. But this doesn't help as you can't latch notes (?), but you can latch CC info...and I can't map those pads to a button on something like a NanoKontrol or some other midi controller.
Is there a script i can put on the EXS channel strip to receive CC and send it to EXS as a midi note?? This would allow me to then also latch that button (one I would create on the layout) and then hit it again to turn the pad off.
I'm up for whatever solution you guys might have, nothing is too out of the box..... I've been losing sleep over this issue for days now.
thanks.....

This might work:
function HandleMIDI(event)
if(event instanceof ControlChange)
var number = event.number;
if((number >= 23) && (number <= 38))
var velo = event.value;
var on = (velo > 64)? new NoteOn : new NoteOff;
on.pitch = 36 + number - 23;
on.velocity = velo;
on.send();
If a controller between 23 and 38 is received, it's converted to a not on, if the value is greater than 64, otherwise it's a note off.
Best,
DaCaptain

Assign midi notes to key commands

In LP7 I had some midi notes assigned to key commands. Is it possible to have it in LP8? I tried to assign them using the "learn new assignment" key but I couldn't find the old "Toggle midi remote" function. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks
Tovinho

Daryl, do you have Logic Express installed already or not? Touch tracks objects are Environment objects. Environment is used for advanced Logic setup. However, trigger modes for touch tracks objects are limited to just starting/stopping playback of the midi-clip assigned to it. Here is how it is written in the manual:
Trigger Modes
The Trigger column determines how region playback is handled:
Multi: Playing the trigger note starts the region. Playing it again restarts the region,
without stopping playback of the originally triggered version.
Single: Playing the trigger note once starts the region. Playing it again stops
playback, and restarts the region.
Gate: The region plays until the trigger note is released (or until the region ends).
*Gate Loop*: The region loops until the trigger note is released.
Toggle: Playing the trigger note starts the region. Playing it again stops playback.
*Toggle Loop*: Playing the trigger note starts region looping. Playing it again stops
playback.
There are always workarounds to make Logic work as you want though. However, I'd recommend considering Ableton Live as an alternative. Just google it and download the manual to look at it's potential.
