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

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.

Logic does not accept key command of Play from a section. Shift Enter makes display flashing.

Another key command is normal.

Hi
If you are on a small keyboard (ie with no numbers pad) use FunctionShift Return
or If you are on a 'numbers keyboard', the Enter key is on the right next to the 3 key (and NOT the Return Key).

Key Commands - Assignment not working?

I'm trying to add key commands to have everything 'at hand' but they get listed and don't work.
Example:
I open key commands, search for 'automation', select "View Track Automation" and assign it 'Control + T'. It's in there, it is also in the arrange window's view menu. But when I type 'Control + T' nothing happens.
Still works in the pull down menu.
Am I missing something?

Im having a similar problem. i assign apple space to the 'play from beginning' command but it doesnt work. im following the instructions in a the martin sitter logic pro book so i dont believe im doing it wrong.
if it was already assigned to something else then why would it let you assign it to a different command?
anyhow, its clearly not in my case - when i press the keys all that happens is the cursors toggles to scissors. in fact it does that when only press the apple key. So its just ignoring my assignment, is it?
of course, i know it doesnt 'ignore' it in the irrational sense i imply - there must be a reason. i want to know what it is.

Logic Pro: Midi note key command

Hi all.
Does anyone know if there is a key command that allows you to set the length of a midi note in the piano roll? The example in particular I am looking for is if your chord takes up exactly one bar...yet one or two notes within the chord are slightly over (as a result of them being played in not programmed in), is there a key command that will automatically shorten said notes to one bar. At the moment I resort to cutting them or manually shortening them. I was just wondering if a short cut exists?

Result!
This works perfectly...Thank you so much for that info!
All the best

What keys to assign Key Commands to

Is there anyone out there that has really got a good system for assigning Key Commands to groups of keys? My KC system has developed sort of spasmodically as I have got to know the Logic over the years.. and without proper 'town planning' things are getting over crowded on my Apple Keyboard.
I would appreciate comments from anyone who has a 'logical' mind who thinks they have a good system/choice for which keys to programme groups of key commands for ease of workflow. In particular I would be interested in:
- Score Editor
- Midi writing
- Automation
along with a word about favourite key commands
thanks in advance

Suggest orienting as many of your key commands on the LH side of the keyboard so that you can keep your RH hand on the mouse.
The following is just a sampling of my k/c assignments; at this point I've been using these so long that I couldn't tell you if any of them resemble the factory k/c assignments, but anyway, here's a short list that don't use any modifier keys:
F1 = event editor (lists)
F2 = matrix/piano roll (within arrange)
F3 = score editor (arrange)
right below that...
1 = event editor (opens separate window)
2 = piano roll (sep. window)
3 = score editor (sep. window)
ESC = close window
Q = quantize
A = catch on/off
V = toolbox
D = MIDI out toggle (in editors)
C = cycle
H = hyperdraw autodefine
F = continue (need to press it 2x to play when Logic is stopped)
B = browser (media)
L = library
X = set locators to region and play
Note how except for "H" and "L" (a new addition for L8) they're all on the LH side of the keyboard, and no modifier keys needed.
Some RH-oriented key commands include:
\[ = set left locator w/o rounding
] = set right locator w/o rounding
Those plus SHIFT give me the same functions but with rounding
As for key commands with modifiers, you might want to set up a system for yourself where you reserve specific modifier keys (or combinations of modifiers) for certain categories of tasks. For example, you could reserve CNTRLSHIFTkey for score editor-specific commands, such as:
D = defeat interpretation
F = force interpretation
B = beam selected
U = unbeam selected
. = add staccato to selected notes
- = add tenuto to selected notes
< = crescendo
">" = diminuendo
( = slur below
) = slur above
# (actually, "3") = enharmonic shift #
@ (actually, "2") = enharmonic shift b
...and so on... Note that these aren't all LH oriented, but I like the idea of using character shapes ("<" = cresc.) as mneumonics where possible.
In general I'llI use CNTRLOPT+SHIFTCMD for "dangerous" (global) operations such as changing all tracks to READ or TOUCH. Speaking of automation...
I have F9 programmed to turn plug-in automation on/off. But toggling this without having the automation prefs visible means that you'll be toggling this function in the blind. So I have F10 programmed to open the automation prefs panel.
Ultimately I'd suggest that you set up your key commands so that they make sense to you.

MIDI Key Command

Here's a weird one: I am trying to set up two key commands froma MIDI controller. #1 is "Play song from beginning" and #2 is "Go to Next Song". I have a sustain pedal and a hold pedal. Whgen I assign either to "Play song..." they work fine, but neither will "Go to next...". If I use a key on the computer the function works fine. Any thoughts?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9) Logic Pro 7.1

Alex,
I couldn't get the "Select Next Song" to work either via MIDI. Tried assigning notes and controllers in an attempt to get it to work, but no dice.
And the manual seems mute on this subject, which is always a big help (not).
Look on p. 255 of the manual and read up on Meta Events for goto song. Maybe there's a workound in that function.

Key commands not showing up in KC window

Today I decided to attempt to get to the bottom of this problem. Since installing 7.1 my key commands are next to useless in terms of having the assigned commands show up in the key command window. Some of the commands show up when the relevent key is pressed but many don't. For instance, I have the letter "R" assigned to "repeat objects", when I press the "R" key nothing shows up in the KC window. If I reassign "repeat objects" to the "Q" key then when I press the "Q" key nothing shows up. Conversely if I assign the "R" key to "destructive quantise" then it does show up. IOW, if I assign any key to "repeat objects" the assigned key never shows up as highlighted in the KC window. This same behaviour shows up for many keys.
I installed on a fresh partition: 10,4,2, Logic7.1, Pro runtime app and find the exact same results. I've tried switching keyboard layouts from UK to American to German - no change.
Can anyone confirm that "repeat objects" shows up as highlighted when the relevent key is pressed in the KC wondow?
Cheers.

Hi RajShekhar,
This KF that you have added as an attribute to a char will not be available in the Key Figure section. Open the dimensions and find the char for which you created this attribute. Open up the attributes under it and you should find the KF. If you need to use this KF value in a calculation, then you will need to create a formula variable to pull in its value.
Hope this helps...

Key Command troubles: Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position not working?

Hello,
I'm simply trying to find a key command that will allow me to move regions quickly from one part of a song to another without dragging with them with the mouse in the arrange window. I thought I found the solution with the key command "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position", however it doesn't seem to be doing anything!
Here's what I've tried: First I select the region I want to move, then I move my SPL to a location using the "go to Position" key command and typing in a bar. I then try to use the "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position" key command (which I set to Shift-Control-L) and nothing happens. Shouldn't it be moving my region to the SPL? Note: the region is still selected, but refuses to move. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not what this key command was designed to do?
In my attempts to get the darn thing to work, I also discovered that lock screen-set (Shift-L) key command also does not seem to work (it is not toggling the black dot after the screen-set number like usual). Does this mean my key commands may be corrupted? (which would be a real drag!!) Oddly enough, these are the two are the only two that do not seem to be working, as all others seem to be working fine (AFAIK).
I've had this problem in the past with the lock screen-set key command not working, and rebuild all key commands and templates when I upgraded to tiger. I thought everything was working fine!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!!

I assigned F5 to two functions. In the key commands
window, pressing F5 highlighted the first assignment.
Pressing it again highlighted the second assignment.
So just keep pressing the key to see whether it's
assigned to more than one command...
Well, now when I type "Shift-L" into the finder in the top right of the key commands window, no key commands at all are show. However, which I search for the word "lock," the lock screenset key command comes up as "Shift-L." Oddly, if I search any other key commands (such as F1, "cmd-k," or even other shift ones like "shift-," the associated key commands show up.
To test, I changed the screen set lock from Shift-L to "opt-ctrl-L" and it now works again. However, it still will not come up in the key commands window through searching by "opt-ctrl-L"
On what may be a side note, the search feature seems very buggy! Tell me if I'm doing this right: First I open the key commands window, which opens with nothing selected. Now, in order to search by key command I go up to the top right corner where the magnifying glass is, place my curser inside and type in the key command correct? When I do this, it shows me the highlighted key command in the left, and my curser is no longer flashing up in the magnifying glass, correct?
Now, in order to search again, I have to place my curser in the search field again, right? However, now when I search by key command, not all of them register! For example, my "go to position" key command is simply ; but when I type it, nothing comes up in the search, and instead of the magnifying glass window being blank like before, the actual ; is in the box. Oddly enough, searching with "Cmnd-K" still works!
What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this, as it is very frustrating!! thanks again for your help

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Can not find the Automation Folder.... neither its Key Command...HELP

I would be grateful to anyone who could find a solution to the following issue:
I have read in Logic's 7.2.3 help reference about track automation folder. The sort of arrange window that seems to lurk behind the main arrange page and the place where you can treat the automation data as proper region material. I have tried everything, .. there does not seem to be any key command of the sort, more over I can not find any other way that could give me access to such an editor like the Automation Folder.
Thank you for reading this.
Nik

• 1 • If you choose 'New Track' from the Menu, or use Control-Click-&-hold, you can select from the various options.
• 2 • No, you don't need to do anything — it's entirely voluntary… I feel guilty for even mentioning it… I just thought that since you seem to be genuinely grateful for the help you have been getting, you had probably not read the article fully. I see that you have just had a useful reply from John Alcock, so now's your chance!

Assigning a new tax key for V0 and VAT not possible

Hi Experts,
Invoice is been created successfully in SUS , XML transfered to XI which in turn created the IDOC in ECC.
I get the below error while transferring theinvoice IDOC from XI to ECC.
Assigning a new tax key for V0 and VAT not possible
Message no. FD008
Diagnosis
In Financial Accounting customizing, the tax ID transferred in the invoice is missing so that the system cannot determine a tax code. The system could not determine an entry with the value V0 nor with the value VAT .
Procedure
In Financial Accounting customizing, include the external tax ID and a corresponding internal tax code for the present partner.
Please let me know if I am missing any setup in ECC as I have already maintained the setup in OBCA, OBCD and OMRY.
Thanks,
-Devi Swain

Hi Devi,
Can you please tell me ,how you resolved this issie,I am getting same error.I I have already maintained the setup in OBCA, OBCD and OMRY.

Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not define

Hi,
I'm trying to post an IDOC of type BBPIV through XI to an R/3 system.
The posted idoc in R/3 is in status 51 (Application document not posted) with the error message "Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not defined in chart of acts WP2P"
As per my understanding this is something related to FI.
Long text of the error is "The system cannot generate an automatic posting because there is no account determination defined for Account-assigned purchase order with keys in chart of accounts WP2P.
Correct the account determination for Account-assigned purchase order"
Please help me how to solve this.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hiya,
This looks like its a MM posting / transaction.
You need to go to OBYC and maintain the account assignment. If you provide the business scenario (GR into Stock, Subcontracting, etc.) for the process, I may be able to help.
VKOA is for SD account assignment and I don't believe you can use that here.
Cheers.

Key commands are not stored in a separate file

On page 44 in the Logic Reference it says that key commands are stored in a separate preference file.
But that's not right is it? I believe the key commands are stored in the general preferences file for logic.

I believe it's actually a mistake in the manual and in
the way Logic is supposed to work.
I don't, as Logic has stored the key commands within the Logic preferences files since version 1.
What's probably happening is that when you use the setup assistant, the various template key commands (Pro Tools one and so on) are stored in various files. The setup assistant puts the necessary startup template keycommands file into the prefs directory, which when Logic loads, it sees them, parses them and inserts them into the preferences, which then behave like normal.
It saves the setup assistant from accessing Logic's preference files directly.

Can't assign personal key commands

Hello,
I recently had to reinstall Logic Pro 9 and neglected to backup/save my personal key commands.
In reentering these commands I'm having a problem with one specific personal key command for Solo Off For All that Logic won't accept. I have gone into the Logic Preference>Key Commands, scrolled down to Solo Off For All clicked on the Learn By Key Label and entered my command which is the TAB key followed by the letter 's'. The 's' gets entered but nothing else. Before doing the delete and reinstall of Logic Pro this command had been working fine for me.
Thanks and Best to All
Lautarese

Hi Bill,
What you say makes sense. However I'm mystified as to why it worked for me before reinstalling Logic Pro from the Apps Store.
I picked the TAB key because all the other modifiers seem to be used for default Key Commands that I'd rather not replace.
Thanks Mate.
Best,
Jason
