Controllers Parameters with Midi keyboard

So how do I assign parameters let's say from the ES E to my keyboard? And Can I control the parameters of plugins I'm using on the synth as well (eg - denoiser)?

Hey. Thanks.
Got the right parameter assigned but should I be able to change it while recording (in real time). I tried it with with the parameter assigned to one of the knobs (which I gradually moved as I played the chords) but it just took the value from -45 to -0 from the beginning of the recording.

Opinion on what to do with midi keyboard situation

So a few weeks ago I purchased a m audio axiom 61 midi keyboard to use with logic 9 on my mbp that is currently running snow leopard. I connect the keyboard through a usb cable and when doing so, the keyboard turns on but no noise comes out when I press the keys. When I hook up to the keyboard to any computer running leopard it works fine, the problem is only when I hook it up to computers running snow leopard.
The keyboard is class compliant so there are no drivers, updates, or software that will make it work. After searching all over the internet these past few weeks for a solutions and having a horrible response in terms of customer service from m audio I have basically lost hope in terms of having this keyboard work with my computer.
I am asking what you guys think the best solution is for this problem. I'm debating either having to purchase a leopard install disc just to downgrade so it will run with my computer or selling the keyboard and just purchasing another one from a different company that will work with my computer by default. Both of these solutions would be a nuisance and I'm not looking forward to going through the steps for either.
What do you guys think I should do, and if you have any ideas on what to do please let me know.
Thank you.

I think we need to slow down here. You do not need to open Audio MIDI setup to test if the board works. Plug the thing in, open Logic, and simply look down in the transport window while you press some keys. You should see Note numbers flash just to the left of the CPU meters.
This is the critical step. CoreMidi is smart enough to know what is going on without even opening Audio MIDI Setup first. I do it all the time. I plug my M-Audio 02 keyboard in to the mac with a cable, and instantly get at least the notes coming into Logic in the transport as I described.
If you get the notes recognized, then your Axiom is fine.
As far as sound goes, that's a whole different story. You will get no sound in Logic unless you do several things first. I won't go into them all here, as I'm hoping you already know about going to the Preferences button at the top left of the screen and choosing Audio... from the list. Core Audio will come up and you can make sure you have Built-in Input selected since you don't have an external interface.
Then make a new track, choose a Soft Instrument, and a piano or something, and play away.
Audio Midi Setup control panel is for setting the SYSTEM's audio midi settings. Logic uses it's own settings. You need to set both to the same thing ideally.
But, say you get a firewire interface. Hook it up, go to Audio Midi Setup, you choose it as your choice of audio interface, and done....but Logic will still have Built-in Input set and you will hear nothing...so you have to again go and change it in Preferences > Audio.
bottom line, I use GarageBand as my test bed for things like this. It's a bit more "direct". The first track it puts in the line for you is a Piano...so you just plug the axiom in, and start playing.
Verify for us that you are getting note recognition in the Transport area.
One last thing - do you have a bunch of stuff plugged into the USB port with the Axiom? There is always the possibility there isn't enough bandwidth for the board to work if you have a scanner, iPhone, card reader, digital camera and keyboard/mouse all plugged in...longshot, but worth a mention.

Midi sync issues with midi keyboard

I am having issues with my midi keyboard being synced with logic pro. I have it connected with midi and audio. When I press play on logic the keyboard sounds will play but it sounds like it is a split second faster than logic. Anyone know any fixes for this issue?

There's several possibilities.
1. It could be plugin related, do you have any latency inducing plugins on the master bus or as inserts on and of the tracks. Maybe I should ask what plugins you're using?
2. In Logic's preferences/audio-Devices tab, is the "Recording Delay" slider set to zero? While your there go to the "General" tab, is the Plugin latency compensation set to "audio and software instrument tracks"?
3. If you have Low Latency mode enabled, disable it.

Help with MIDI Keyboard-Doesn't play a certain note

I use Logic pro with a Korg Kontrol49 keyboard. My interface is a Digidesign 003. My problem is that the E3 key does not work anywhere on the keyboard even when I switch octaves. In the transport bar when I play the note it say no in. The 3 settings on the back of the keyboard are USB, Standby, and DC. The note does work when I switch it to DC, but then I get this message and the note works. As soon I clear the message the note stops working. #1 Device Kontrol49 assigned to MIDI Port "CTRL" which is not present. #2 Device Kontrol49 is assigned to MIDI Port A which is not present. I reset MIDI settings but to no avail. Please help. I'm going out of my mind

Look in your *Controller Assignments* window (cmd-K) if E3 is used for a controller message. If so, select the message and delete it, that should do it.
The 3 settings on the back of the keyboard are USB, Standby, and DC. The note does work when I switch it to DC, but then I get this message and the note works.
What message?
As soon I clear the message the note stops working.
What message? This?
#1 Device Kontrol49 assigned to MIDI Port "CTRL" which is not present. #2 Device Kontrol49 is assigned to MIDI Port A which is not present. I reset MIDI settings but to no avail.
Well, why don't you check the Korgs' manual and find out what this DC setting actually does , before haphazardly flicking it?
You switching it probably makes it loose USB connection. That is the message. I have no idea what the DC setting does, but that message means you have "unplugged" it, or powered it down, or otherwise disconnected it.
Please help. I'm going out of my mind
That's good. Staying inside the mind too much is not healthy...

Best way to do video with MIDI keyboard input

A year or so ago I bought a TASCAM digital interface (US-144), good mike and a Yamaha P-70. Used this setup with GarageBand 08 with great success to produce female voice lead over MIDI piano. Also recently checked out iMovie 09 to produce a YouTube video using only an audio file and iPhoto pictures with Ken Burns effect.
Now I want to find the best way to produce a video of a piano performance using the MIDI input, rather than the recorded audio. Should I pursue iMovie or GarageBand, and if GarageBand (09), biggest question is how to get video that is synched correctly with the MIDI input. I could use the built-in cam on my MacBook Pro 13" for starters just to see if it worked. Suggestions appreciated.

say i took just the vocal from a track (lionel all
night long for example) and the instrumental just
music from like queen and in logic put the vocal over
the instrumental and created my own lionel/queen
remix how would i get the video to sync with that
when i came to fcp?know its a case of cuting and
editing it but if my vocal had to have been its tempo
increased to fit the instrumental in fcp i would have
to speed the video up to get it in sync?
sorry scott, you really need to spell things out like this for the middle-agers on the board like me. i don't know about the integration with logic but i would assume there's a way to use a timecode-based timeline instead of a beats-based timeline? base your clips on timecode and fcp can speed adjustments to it's clips up to a point. you may need to look for something like twixtor.
there are more knowledgeable folk here that have far more comprehensive knowledge on this than i and hopefully they'll contribute their voices.

How control tempo fader with midi keyboard

hi,
i added a tempo fader in the environment window. what are the steps to control it with a nob on my midi controller?
thanks,
dave

Hi
There are several steps in this process:
1) Since you want to control the Tempo Fader with in-coming MIDI messages, you need to connect the fader somewhere between the Physical Input and Sequencer Input objects in the Clicks and Ports layer.
2) By default, this fader is set to respond to incoming PitchBend messages (see above), so it should work straight away. If you wish to control this fader with some other MIDI message, you need to determine the exact message (MIDI CC usually) transmitted by your controller. The "Input View" object (or the main Transport should help here.
3) Then you need to assign these values in the object inspector 'Input settings"
Most of this is described in the manual p1040 under "Using the Tempo Fader".

Having problem with midi?

I am having problem with midi keyboard (korg pa80) I having hard time to midi to logic every time I have to either restart the logic or restart the keyboard or plug out the USB cable and put back in order to work. Plus when I created a new track doen't work with it. I have to do same as above to make it work? help please how can i refresh the midi connection with going throw steps above?

Is it the computer dropping the MIDI interface, or the computer connectin is fine adn Logic is not seeing it?
Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility and make sure your MIDI device is present. If not, try another USB port, or don't use a hub.
Assuming the connection is solid, in Logic, option-click on File -> New and try it - if it works in that song, but not your own songs, it's a song specific issue, so check your MIDI input handling in the environment.

HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power. However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board. I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power.

I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

How can I build a drum pattern in Ultrabeat with my midi keyboard?

So I was just wondering if I was able to build a drum beat in Ultrabeat with my midi keyboard, kinda "on the fly" as it's replaying..... For example, if I want to add some percussion in the pattern but while it's playing. Is there any way that Ultrabeat can just record in items I want via the midi board instead of clicking on the part with my mouse? It would just be much easier this way.... Thanks!

It's a shame you can't record into Ultrabeat's sequencer in realtime using a MIDI controller.
But, as CCTM says you can record into Logic's Arrange and other Editors. One to use may be the Hyper Editor. Not as pretty to look at but very similar in functionality to UB's seq.
If you need to manage your recorded sequences you can always add the recorded region to your Apple Loops Library.

How can I control the delay pedal with a MIDI keyboard?

Okay, I'm looking to perform the song 'Are You In?' by Incubus with some friends, and here's what I want to do...
I have my guitar plugged into a Behringer UCG102 Guitar Link
The link is then plugged into my MacBook running GarageBand
I have an amp preset saved in the program with the 'Blue Echo' delay pedal
While playing, I want to be able to use my external MIDI USB keyboard (Akai MPK25) to control the 'Time' and 'Repeats' knobs on the virtual pedal.
Otherwise, i'm gonna have to keep switching between playing guitar and clicking on the screen and then moving the mouse around frantically.
How can I do this? And is it even possible in GarageBand?
If not in GarageBand, is it possible to do the same in Logic Pro?
My Akai keyboard did come with a piece of software to control the keyboard from the computer. It allows me to save different presets and upload them to it. For the knobs on my keyboard, the software has the option to enter numbers next to each knob for 'CC', 'Low' and 'Hi'
Sorry if i'm not very clear or I don't make much sense, not really sure how to explain everything.

There are two types of sustain pedal... One's with + polarity and ones with - polarity
The sustain pedal you are using, has the oppostie polarity from the standard.. which means when you press it it acts as if it is not pressed and vice versa...
Unfortunately, unlike a lot of keyboards... the Launchkey doesn't provide a setting that allows you to correct this issue... which means that unless the pedal you are using has a built in polarity switch...(In which case power down your keyboard, unplug the pedal and select the opposite setting to what is set now and then plug it back in and power up your keyboard) your sustain pedal is the wrong type and is not compatible with the Launchkey....
Failing that, here is an example of a sustain pedal that has a polarity switch so you can use it with any keyboard....

Resounding note with a MIDI keyboard in GarageBand

Hi everyone!
I am having a problem with a resounding note with a MIDI keyboard in GarageBand. I am running the following:
GarageBand Version: 10.0.2
Keyboard: Korg PA50
Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB of RAM
OSX 10.9.4
What happens is when I am recording, one note (could be an Eb, could be a G, the note changes each time) continues to sound after I have stopped recoding and taken off the sustain pedal and my fingers off the keyboard. It happens for virtual instruments that don’t even sustain using the sustain pedal such as an organ. The solution to this is to select a different virtual instrument and reselect the one I was using. This is not great especially in the middle of recording.
If anyone has any ideas, that would be much appreciated! If you need any extra info, please ask!
Thanks for your time!

To anyone with this issue, I have resolved it. I was using a third party USB-MIDI cable. I bought a new proper one for $65 (NZ Dollar) and have had no problems since. Hope this helps!

I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

IN SHORT:
2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well? There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them. Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
IN DEPTH:
I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power. A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for. My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work). I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power. Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord? I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
By the way I mostly use garageband

hey mate
Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub. They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com. There are tons to choose from. I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard. You will need the lightning usb adapter too. You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub. So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

Problem with step input using MIDI Keyboard

Hi,
I'm new to Logic Pro X and wanted to know how I can use my MIDI keyboard as a source of Step Input Recording.
I created a new software instrument track, then open Window - > Show step input keyboard.
If I click the keyboard on the screen, it records notes with no problem. However, if I play my MIDI keyboard while on-screen keyboard is shown, it does not record anything even though I hear the sound I played.
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks!
-Holly
EDIT : Actually I could solve the problem. I needed to click "MIDI IN" button on "MIDI Region" window.

Holly,
Have you opened the Audio MIDI Setup app on your mac? It's found in your Launchpad app (on your doc) and Other folder it should be in there. Make sure your MIDI keyboard is recognized and configured for the mac. Also look at your MIDI settings within Logic as well.

Notes sticking with KORG K61P MIDI Keyboard

Hey guys and gals:
i finally got my KORG K61P MIDI Keyboard working in Garageband. Only thing is, a lot of times wheni play notes, they stick or hang. Now, i've noticed with some looking on other forums that people are having similar problems, but i haven't really found any solutions, so i thought i'd ask here.
i have the keyboard hooked up straight to the MacBook Pro with a USB cable. Everything seems fine except for this sticking. If you need any other info that i'm missing, please ask. Desperation! LOL

Someone, anyone, please? lol
