Can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2??

Hi all. I've been adding and using custom channel strip icons (in addition to patch icons) in MainStage for a couple of years now but have only just noticed that I can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2....for some reason I can only apply Logic's default icons for channel strips in v2.2.2. When I try to apply a custom icon to a channel strip, the icon region is blank. However, I have no problems applying custom icons to patches.
I've never had an issue with this in v2.1.x.
Is anyone else able to apply custom icons to channel strips in MS v2.2.2?
Cheers
Gary

CCT, I worked it out. For starters, you should be able to get custom Channel Strip icons working in MS v2.1.3 if you put the icons here: user\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. My installation directory is the root Library but I've realized in the past days that others' installation directory is their user library. This seems to be the reason why custom Channel Strip icons don't work if placed in the root Library for those users.
For MS v2.2.2, the icons need to be placed in the MS app itself i.e. Show Package Contents: \Contents\Resources\Images. Don't ask me why but they appear correctly when placed there. I wouldn't be surprised that this situation is a bug that was overlooked by Apple when they developed v2.2.x
I have both versions of MS on my system and in v2.2.2, my icons are duplicated because they're in the v2.2.2 app as well as ~\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. However, only those icons located in the v2.2.2 app actually work.

Custom channel strip icon in MS2

Hey, I have a .PNG file that I used in MS1 as a channel strip icon, but the same exact file doesn't work in MS2.0.1. I dragged it into the right folder, and it shows up in the list of icons, but when I pick it, no icon shows. When I click the selector again, "No Icon" is highlighted instead of my custom image. It's not a major issue, but this did work in MS1 so I'm curious as to why it stopped working in MS2. Any thoughts?

Can we apply custom validation before uploading data in WebADI in 12.1.3

Hi,
I have requirement of applying custom validation before uploading data from spreadsheet using webADI. How can we do that.
Is there any way in desktop Integration Manager Responsibilty in WebADI.
I have just started exploring webADI
Please Help Me...
Thanks,
Suhani

Why are you posting this in OAF?
Anyway you can by creating a custom PL/SQL wrapper that is called by the WebADI.
Raise an application ERROR in your wrapper and it will show in the WebADI
If you just want to validated VALUES, you are better of creating an LOV on the Column. Then WebADI will do the validation work for you.

Re colouring lables... can this apply to the folder icon itself

re coloring lables... can this somehow change the folder icon itself or only the lettering underneath?

That only changes the text label color. You can change icons yourself if you want...

Yup, possible using system variables that can track time and conditional advanced actions.

Hidden/cannot locate user channel strip settings

How do I "Unhide" the Performance folder and custom channel strip settings in Finder? I can see them when I save a preset, but cannot access them manually.

Hi
They are in a 'Hidden' folder in the UserLibrary directory.
The quiclkest way to get there is using the Finder:Go. Hold down Option to see the <User>:Library in the Go menu.
I then add that to the sidebar in the Finder window

EVP88 Channel Strip for Babylon Sisters?

I'm looking for a EVP88 patch or a Channel Strip with as close as possible Rhodes sound used on Babylon Sisters by Steely Dan....
"Classic Suitcase Mk I" with some adjustments on EQ and chorus comes close, but still lack something. Hard for me to pinpoint what's missing....
Anyone got a customized Channel Strip to share? Thanks.

Having been an owner of a few real Fender Rhodes over my years & considering that Steely Dan used the real thing on that Gaucho album, the EVP88 is just eh' ok & sort of sterile in comparison. What I don't think you'll get out of the EVP88, is that "spank" or "bite" character that a real Rhodes with real steel tines has when you wack the keys.
The Babylon Sister Rhodes sounds like a slow stereo phaser was possibly used, as well as a slow tremlo L.R. panning. Sounds like Fagen used an 88key suitcase model on Gaucho.
There are other 3rd party sample libraries out there specifically dedicated to the Fender Rhodes, that will come much closer to the real thing, than the EVP88 can do.. of which isn't even sample based, but a physical model plug. A real high quality Rhodes sample based library will come much closer to the real thing, than a physical model plug such as the EVP88.

Is it possible to copy all the channel strip info to another Logic project?

Hi
I'm trying to combine two projects so that I can crossfade from one to another yet still have full mix control. I've figured out how to copy the audio files (drag and drop), and that's brilliant, but I'd like to keep all my channel info without having to copy every single strip and rename them. Can anyone shed light on this and save me a couple of hours?
Thanks

Yeah, as Miles says, the track import function might be your best bet - you have to navigate to the files you want - double click on the Project file name to see what's in there and you can bring back your channel strips and the track contents, there are a few options to choose to decide what you want, but that's OK, innit ?
As DataStream says, you can even bring back the Mixer configuration, so that's something else to think about.

Channel strip colors from regions?

Hi,
I colored all my regions.
Can I get the channel strip colors from regions?
OR - as I've read on the internet - the only way for regions to and channel strip to be the same colors - one has to color the channel strips first?
Thanks in advance...

You can't because Logic would get really confused if you had a channel with more than one color on your regions.
In the future, you could ctrl-click the track head in the sequencer and select 'Configure Track header' then tick track color bars. That will allow you to set channel strip colors and see them by the sequencer too. It's a great help if you want to identify tracks by color.

How can I set up a Mainstage channel strip to recognize coarse detune?

Can anyone clue me in on how to get Mainstage 2 to recognize coarse detune? Right now I have it set up so that a mainstage channel strip recognizes standard pitch bend messages and I can set the pitch bend range of the associated instrument to 12 (the default for the channel strips appears to be 2), and so standard pitch bend works fine.   But when the pitch bend messages I'm sending are coarse detune, I'm getting zip...nada...nuttin -- even when I have set the pitch bend range for the instrument on the channel strip set to 12.
I don't want to just offset the pitch by a set amount; I want to use coarse detune to bend the pitch by semitones during a performance. If anyone here has any suggestions or knows how to make this happen, I'd really appreciate your help --
thanks in advance,
Lipp

Hi
The default bend range is set within the Instrument plugin setting associated with a channel strip.

This could depend on the Instrument plugin (which on eare you referring to?).
Try making a knob or fader object in Layout mode and MIDI learn it to incoming PitchBend messages, then map that control to the dtune function.

All of a sudden, I can no longer add any plugins to any channel strips? And when I click on an existing plugin to edit, it disappears off the channel strip?

I am running Logic express 9 on a 2008 Macbook, (non pro). Anyhow, logic has always seemed to work great for me. However, last week I opened up one of many existing projects, (I'm in sample editor). When I went to add a new plugin to one of the channel strips it would not allow me to. Also, if I click on any plugin that already exists on the channel strip it dissapears? The strange thing that also happens weather I click to add a new plugin or click on an already existing plugin, is both the "repeat section" and "crop", buttons from the above menu (in sample editor), the actual buttons become a faded image,(as far as the actual font and images of the buttons). As soon as I am done clicking to add a plugin on the channel strip, both buttons from the menu go back to looking normal like all of the other choices from that menu? I really don't get it? All I want to do is to be able to add plugins as well as edit or change plugins again. Any thoughts as to why I can no longer add any new plugins to any channel strips? And why any existing plugins disappear from the channel strip when I click on it? Why the "repeat section", and "Crop", buttons from the menu above fade in and out when I try clicking on the channel strip is very strange? I don't mind that I just want to be able to add or edit plugins again. I did do some document cleaning up last week as my memory was getting low. I then emptied out my trash bin. I'm hoping I didn't accidentally delete some kind of Logic component? Why can't I add or edit plugins anymore? Anyone ever run across this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

I can't access my newest channel strip settings in Logic 8

Hello all. I am running Logic 8.0.2. I have several channel strip settings saved from my move from Logic 7 to 8. I noticed that when I save new channel strip settings now, that they show up in the proper folders on my Mac, but do not show up in my lists in the media bin on the right, or when you click on the "setting" button all the way on the left for the fader you are loading an instrument on. I did click "reset channel strip" which just resets the strip, and tried refresing the library under the media panel on the right. I have looked at some other forums as well, and I'm not sure if this particular issue has been answered but I haven't seen it yet (apologies if I'm repeating from a past post). Please let me know if there is something I can do...it seems like it should be something simple, like just a "refresh" somewhere, but they still don't show up. Thanks to all for your help!

How can I get back all the factory channel strip presets?

Hi Guys
I have deleted some of the channel strip presets in Logic 8, is there any easy way of getting back all the original factory ones?
Cheers,
Mike

yeloop wrote:
Hey there,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Once I find them, do I just drag them into a specific presets folder on the Mac? (if so, which folder?)
Or can the installer be run just for the channel strip presets?
I don't want to end up with duplicates by mistake, either!
Thanks again,
Mike
Yes, you drag them over.
Roght click on the installer packages on the DVDs, and click on the "show package conte4nts" button. This will open the installer package, then navigate until you find the presets. If you have several DVDs, it may take time to get to them, but they're there.
You'll have to place them in your drive here :
Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / Logic /
That is where all the presets are found. You might have to enter your admin password to copy them over.
Cheers

How can I eliminate the bottom strip of icons from my ios7 4s iphone?

How can I eliminate the bottom strip of icons from my ios7 4s iphone so I can the whole picture I've used as a wallpaper?

You cannot remove the Dock. You can move the app icons off the dock, move others onto the dock and keep the dock empty but you cannot remove the dock.

Applying custom icons to all files of a type

I used to use ResEdit back int he day - and have used various tools on Mac and Windows to change icons. BUt I am stuggling with a default custom icon option for Mac OS X.
I have a set of farily simply icons for use with a number of file types that I use a lot - csv, psl, pti, tp3, xml, cfr, and others and I would like to always have newly created files get the custom icon.
Ideally this would be based on the extension - and they are not all from the same app.
I am not afraid to use the terminal or edit package contents. Although some of them are windows apps - and I already have a custom set in the virtual machine.
Some of the solutions I have seen out there such as Candy Bar seem to be only for application and folder settings.
In a couple cases - such as the .cfr and .pti - the apps do not have an open method where you can double click on the file and have it open - so I woudl be okay with something like reprogramming TextEdit to have the necessary icons and plist updates. Although when I tried to edit the plist file in TextEdit - all I did was render TextEdit unusable.
any help in the right direction will be appreaciated - I find it very helpful when I create 30 to 40 files ( a group of 5 differnet file types for each option ) to have icons that help me determine which ones I need to run a macro against - and which to send the customer - and which to upload to the vendor - etc.
Also missing the colorful icons in the sidebar and iTunes - as well an Unsanity Haxies - guess what audio feedback does make me more productive or at the very least more certain that the system is behaving as I expect.

A new Cocoa-AppleScript application can be created from the AppleScript Editor > File > New from Template > Cocoa-AppleScript Applet menu item, pasting in the following script:
-- set icon
on run -- application double-clicked
    tell current application's NSOpenPanel's openPanel()
        setFloatingPanel_(true)
        setTitle_("Choose file items to set an icon for:")
        setPrompt_("Choose") -- the button name
        setDirectoryURL_(current application's NSURL's URLWithString_(POSIX path of (path to desktop)))
        setCanChooseFiles_(true)
        setCanChooseDirectories_(false)
        setShowsHiddenFiles_(false)
        setTreatsFilePackagesAsDirectories_(false)
        setAllowsMultipleSelection_(true)
        set theResult to runModal() as integer
        if theResult is current application's NSFileHandlingPanelCancelButton then tell me to quit -- cancel button
        set theFiles to URLs() as list
    end tell
    repeat with eachFile in theFiles -- coerce the file paths in place
        tell eachFile to set its contents to its |path|() as text
    end repeat
    open theFiles
end run
on open theItems -- items dropped onto the application
    try -- get a path to the image to be used for the icon
        set imageFile to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select an image file for the icon:" of type "public.image")
    on error -- cancel button
        tell me to quit
    end try
    set errorList to {} -- this will be a list of problem files, if any
    repeat with eachItem in theItems
        if not setIcon(imageFile, eachItem) then
            set end of errorList to (eachItem & return)
        end if
    end repeat
    if errorList is not {} then -- oops, show items where there was a problem
        display alert "Error setting icon." message "Icons of the following items were not set:" & return & return & errorList as text
    end if
    tell me to quit -- done
end open
to setIcon(imageFilePath, fileItemPath) -- set the icon of a file item
    set mySharedWorkspace to current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()
    set myImage to current application's NSImage's alloc's initWithContentsOfFile_(imageFilePath)
    try
        return mySharedWorkspace's setIcon_forFile_options_(myImage, fileItemPath, 0) as boolean
    on error errorMessage
        return false
    end try
end setIcon
After saving, the resulting application can be double-clicked, or you can drop files onto it (the script can't be run from the script editor). It can be tweaked further to include image files in the application bundle to select from (the icon images can be any image, not just icon files), or to be used in the Finder's toolbar, but for now the basic application should get you started.
