Caps Lock MIDI

I've been using the "Caps Lock MIDI" to add a few tracks to my song. All of a sudden when I have the Caps Lock MIDI selected, it won't play my SampleTank input. What happened to my Caps Lock MIDI? I successfull recorded on two other tracks with it, but even now I can't get the Caps Lock MIDI to trigger even on those tracks.

I will try it.
Logic is ironically the most illogical product that Apple produces, in my opinion. It really caters to gearheads that grew up on emagic pc minded programs. It would be nice to see a new face on Logic, one to set new users free, to intuitively create. I have read several books and studied many tutorial dvds on Logic 7.1, and I am still feeling lost. Again, I am sure for anyone who becomes an expert on the program, there is probably a great feeling of satisfaction, but the users who are getting up to speed (5 years now for me) -- feel swamped. That's my ten cents.

Logic Pro 8 midi controller or caps lock won't process midi

OK. I was trying to figure out WHY my arpeggiator will only allow me to use a zone higher than C-2. I need to be able to use C-1 and above (Ultrabeat). So, I read somewhere that it could possibly be something with the control surface. So I go digging over there. At that moment I did nothing but check and close everything out. I didn't change anything. Then, my midi won't work from my controller or caps lock. So I worsened things (probably) by resetting midi in the "midi" setting in preferences AND scanning for surfaces in the control surfaces panel. Now get this...it only applies to this song. It is perfectly fine on any other songs I open. I also notice now that there is a white bar to the left of the tracks. It doesn't appear to be nothing serious though. Please someone help me. I have a serious deadline due and I cannot afford this setback.
Thanks in advance!!!

OK....I got it working again. Pay attention to what you do in the Environment kids!!! But new problem...My arpeggiator won't arpeggiate. Any solutions?

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.

I just installed RAM into my 2007 Mid iMac. I went to turn it on and the fan goes on and such. The screen isn't lighting up and (Caps lock) the keyboard isn't working. It's plugged in too.

Installed two 2GB RAM cards to my Mac. Plugged it in, turned it on. You can hear it running. My keyboard isn't lighting up (Caps Lock) and the screen is black.

Assuming the RAM is to the exact spec required, try re-seating the RAM. When you think it is fully seated give it an extra shove with both thumbs - it only needs to be a fraction out for it not to work. If that fails to solve the problem, put the old RAM back in and test. If it works that narrows it down to the new RAM being the problem.

Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!). Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
Any ideas, please? Thanks.

This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts. I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem. I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning. Virtual panic. I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?". Why No, I hadn't noticed that! With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine. The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

My caps lock is not working! (Nothing happens when I press it and I cant see any light turing on or off)

Hey guys,
My Caps lock doesnt work, I cant see any green light... I have a NEXXTECH 2.4G Wirrless Mouse and Keybored Combo Set
I have bought it 2 weeks ago and I just noticed that my mac's keybored caas lock doesnt work. I think my keybored settings are bit mixed up so I tried to search on google about "How to reset the keybored's settings" (like a factory rest but only the keybored settings NOT the computer.) Please I dont know what to do, any help and tips will be really appreciated.
( I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with 10.8.2 )

Sounds like a hardware failure of the button. Since you're most likley out of warranty, Google for a phone repair shop near you.

Caps Lock

I have a mid 2009 15in Mackbook Pro and before I had an issue with Safe boot I noticed everything wrote was in caps without me selecting the caps lock button.

As it's a hardware issue, you would need to get the machine serviced by Apple. It's possible that you could make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store (assuming you have one near you) and they could fix it right there, unless it's more than a simple mechanical problem with the key.

Performance problem when using CAPS LOCK piano input

Dear reader,
I'm very new to Logic and am running into a performance problem when using the CAPS LOCK-piano-keyboard for input of an instrument: when I'm not recording everything is fine and the program instantly responds on my keystrokes, but as soon as I go into record-mode there is sometimes a delay in the response-time (so I press a key and it takes up to half a second longer before the note is actually played).
Is there anything to do about this to improve performance (for example turning of certain features of the application), or should I never use the CAPS LOCK keyboard anyway and go straight for an external MIDI-keyboard?
Thanks and regards,
Tim Metz

Does your project have Audio tracks and just how heavy it is, how many tracks? Also, what kind of Software Instrument do you use?

Shift-Caps Lock-Tab not working with remapped Caps Lock

I've remapped my Caps Lock key to Ctrl using the Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys dialog and in the following question when I say CTRL i mean the Caps Lock key remapped to Ctrl and Ctrl is the normal left Ctrl key.
I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I've just bought 2 new external corded Apple keyboards and both of them are having trouble with the key combination Left Shift + CTRL + Tab. For applications where that combination should go to the previous TAB it does not work. If I use the right Shift instead it works fine, if I use the left Ctrl key instead of the remapped Caps Lock key it works great too.
The internal keyboard on the laptop works fine with Left Shift - Caps Lock - Tab.
The computers are a Macbook Air 11" Mid 2011 and a Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2010.

Hey,
Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
In a post a while back had this to say. He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else. You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.
Thanks for coming to the forum.
Hope I helped,

Caps lock keyboard problem

hi
when i try to use caps lock keyboard..eg by pressing caps lock, and you get that thing where you can play midi notes with your qwerty keyboard.
when i press one qwerty key, no sound, i only get sound when i keep one key pressed, and then press another. have tried with diff instruments, same problem.
is this a setting i have set by mistake?
i do recall playing about with my uc33 controller and possibly messed up the midi settings. not sure.
can anyone help?
thankyou

can someone help please?
I opened up a new song, blank, and the caps lock keyboard worked fine.
seems to be a problem with older songs, which leads me to think maybe its a setting i have changed, ie when playing with uc33 midi contoller.
thankyou

Caps Lock Keyboard Question

How do you keep the caps lock keyboard from adding piano sound sample to loaded plug-in sounds in tracks?
When I use the caps lock feature, I get a "generic" piano sound no matter what type of track is selected. I would like to restrict the output to loaded instruments in instrument tracks, but the piano always sounds along with them. Is there any way to disable this, i.e. silence the piano?
Thanks in advance.

You're doing something wrong with your MIDI routing.
The caps lock keyboard simply sends a note to Logic, which gets passed through the environment and onto the selected track, rechannelised accordingly and sent to the instrument assigned to that track - exactly the same way other MIDI data is processed.
Check your environment cabling/routing, or the instrument you have selected.
If you don't know where to look, try opening a new fresh song (not one of your templates) by option-clicking on File -> New and trying the caps lock keyboard in that song..

Caps Lock Keyboard "G" key causes hanging notes

When I use Logic Pro 8s Caps Lock Keyboard the "G" key causes hanging notes. The only way I've found to end the hanging note is to start and stop the sequencer. This behaviour happens when auditioning instrument sounds and in Record or Record Ready mode.
It's not a mechanical problem, as the "G" key doesn't cause multiple entries in text documents etc when pressed and released quickly. It only seems to be misbehaving inside of Logic itself, when using the Caps Lock Keyboard.
Is anyone else having this trouble?
Does anyone know why it happens and/or how to fix it?

can someone help please?

Caps lock light no longer works since upgrade

Mavericks appears to work just fine but... the caps lock light no longer functions on my mid 2012 MBP sine I installed Mavericks. Any had the same issue?

The caps lock light is entirely hardware-controlled, so you probably have a minor hardware issue with the keyboard. Any correlation with instaling Mavericks is purely coincidental.

Caps lock button works in reverse!

Dear All,
this is my problem: the caps lock button (with green LED) on my MacBook Pro 13 "mid-2009, works in reverse! When the LED is on (green light) I type lowercase fonts, when the LED is off I type uppercase fonts!
I tried everything: booting from an external disk with different operating system from mine (I use MacOSX 10.7.5), reset PRAM, reset SMC, removed the internal battery, made test hardware, Disk Warriors, etc.. I brought the laptop at an Apple-authorized center where they tried all they know, but nothing was found.
I called Apple support and the guy suggests me to format the disk (I don't make it, and sincerely it's not seems the solution for me.
However, someone tells me something to do?
Thanks in advance for all your answers.

Hi,
I just followed the steps “Before resetting the SMC” and afterwards the steps to set up the SMC, BUT THE PROBLEM STAYS AGAIN.
Now, I want try to remove the internal hard disk and start with an external hard disk (or with a CD); in this mode I want to see if the problem is related to the HD/System or to the motherboard.
Thanks.

Num + caps lock on MBP 17"

I reinitialized a MBP from the recovery DVD.
At the very beginning of the process num + caps lock lighted up and remained so through the complete installation. I did not touch them before and during the installation
After the installation war finishet, I found out the both functions would work in reverse mode, meaning:
num is on = the keyboard works normally
num is off = I can enter the numbers only
caps lock is on = keyboard works the normal way
caps loc is of = only uppercase characters show when typing
Maybe this is an old question.
The mbp had been initialized after purchase by its first owner (from which I purchased it) and it worked normally when I checked it before purchasing it.
Any idea?

Have you tried resetting your PRAM (KB) or the PMU (KB)?
