Controlling Logic Pro pitch bend

Okay I just got Logic Pro 9 and haven't even dived into the manual yet but I hope someone can step me through this nonetheless. How do I control the pitch bend sound for the software guitar? It has this unappealing country twang (no offense to country fans) every time I hit the pitch bend button on my midi and it's driving me batty. I have to get rid of it. Can someone please guide me through changing this? I'm looking for a pitch bend setting similar to the one in garageband, more of a rock feel, or better. Anything but this.
Thank you, for the love of God, thank you.

Logic audio pitch bend

I have an M-audio KeyRig 49 and the pitch bend wheel is not working in Logic Pro. Is there a setting in Logic that will help it recognize the KeyRig 49 pitch wheel? I tried Preferences > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments and "learn" mode but that really messed it up more.
thanks for any help

I tried Preferences > Control Surfaces > Controller Assignments and "learn" mode but that really messed it up more.
This is the reason for the PB disappearing I guess. When you use the Controller assignment (CA) “learn” or the key-command dialog and learn any external midi message then Logic Physical input blocks that message and bypasses it directly to the Controller Assignments or the key-command assignments.
To fix that you have to find and delete the “learned” string in CA which gets the PB or to (backup and trash) the Logic control surfaces file. Try dragging the Logic Control Surface preference file to your desktop and restarting Logic:

How to control Logic Pro via iPhone

Hi everybody,
It's nice that finally Logic Pro X can be controlled via iPad but I'm still looking for an app which can be used with Logic Pro / Logic Pro X to load projects, record/play/stop and close it.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
SE-Noises

I don't believe any of those apps allow you to "load' a project.... which was one of the OP's requirements..
Am I wrong?
This is why I suggested Touch OSC because you can literally configure anything using that app.. and for example.. have just a simple screen to load and save and then tab to a different screen for other customized uses...
Of course, it will require some programming skills in Touch OSC but it will do it.. and you may have to do/setup certain things in Logic to make it possible... but with a bit of study and some help from the Touch OSC community, it will be possible.
I am unaware of any 'off the shelf' app that will allow you to open a project in Logic Pro.. but again, I could be wrong?

Does Apple have any plans on making an Iphone app to control Logic Pro like Motu has done for Digital performer? They make it for free which is a HUGE plus!

i was wondering if Apple has any intentions on making an Iphone/Ipad app to remotely control Logic like Motu has for Digital performer. Motu has it available for free which is a huge plus but Id be willing to pay for one if Apple came out with one of its own.Im a little mift as to why it hasnt been done, Im sure they are capable of it.

I've been using Touch.OSC, from Hexler. It is not created by Apple but works like a charm on Logic. I've been using the app for over a year both on my iPad and my iPhone. Check the app on Hexler @ http://hexler.net/software/touchosc. Another app (which I still haven't tried) is lpTouch. You can get more info at http://www.delora.com/delora_products/lptouch/lptouch.html. Both are sold at App Store for $ 4.99. Yeah, it would be cool if Apple included its own iPad/iPhone app to control LogicPro on a future update... but for the stick price of the apps I've mentioned you might have a good 'bang for the buck".

Controlling Logic Pro with an iPad

I am wanting to purchase Apple's Logi Pro, but I have a question that hopefully someone in the Apple community can help me with.
I do a lot of MIDI editing, so the actual time I REALLY need a music keyboard is well ... Not a lot.
Is there any way I can use my iPad mini as a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard controller and have Logic Pro on my Mac Retina laptop receive its signals ( it's MIDI data, velocity, etc.)?
I usually start my notes with MIDI Input then refine via on screen with the mouse in the MIDI editor.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

IMac remote & Logic Pro

Anyone have any luck using the remote that comes with the iMac Core Duo to control Logic Pro? I've tried Mira and a couple of other apps with no luck. I want to use the remote to start and stop recording, playback, rewind, etc.

I've heard that someone has successfully hooked up the controller from a Nintendo Wii to operate their Mac! It would be interesting to wave one of those around to control Logic.

Problems with MBOX (first version) with new Logic Pro 9 - only Input 1 work

Hi,
i never had problems with my old MBOX. Since 2 days I switched to Logic Studio 2 and Logic Pro 9. Very nice realease, but: when I create an audio object and choose the inputs in the channel strip for the MBOX, i only get Input 1, no Input 2! When I connect my MBOX in Logic (Audio Preferences) and launch with my started Logic, both Inputs are avaiable and both are working correctly. But never after having started Logic 9...
Any ideas?
I never had this problem with Pro 7 or 8.

Really - Logic Remote is only Logic X App....
Shame ... Thanks The Art Of Sound ...
Btw.... May be someone know iPad tool for remotely controlling Logic Pro 9 ? It's need me for recordings - i play on guitar and want remotely control Logic from audio isolated room...

QUICKTIME synth pitch bend range in LOGIC PRO

i try to set the pitch bend range for QUICKTIME in logic when making GM midi file. I setup the CC100 CC 101 CC 6 , but QUICKTIME synths dose not react the pitch bend range setting , still the 2 semitone range .
this is what i set in message window:
CC 101 (RPN MSB) 0
CC 100 (RPN LSB) 0
CC 6 (DataEnt MSB) 12
But when I export the midi file with my CC 101 ,CC 100 , CC 6 setting , I play it by QUICKTIME , it 's OK
So anybody here how what wrong with this ?
Thanks !!

i want to change the pitch bend range so that it goes really high.
There is no such thing. Logic only knows about the whole 14-bit pitch bend value range. It has no idea what parameters or instruments that data is controlling.
So, for instance, if you are using the ES2, it's in this that you set the pitch bend range (ie, make the whole 14-bit pitch wheel data correspond to +/- 2 semitones, or +/- 2 octaves, or whatever.
So it's a function of the instrument you are using, not Logic.
Look at the pitch bend range parameter in whatever instrument you are using.

Logic pro notes pitch not right

hi, I've had Logic pro 9 for over a year and i'm having an issue now with certain notes playing flat on playback and bounce..Sometimes whole sections of notes not playing correctly pitch wise...help (they were playing right at first ). I checked to make sure nothing had changed and the notes are still in their correct position

Is the pitch deviation consistent (ie same notes out of tune by the same amount every time)? If so, there's probably some pitch bend data somewhere it shouldn't be. You'll just have to go through the regions methodically with the Hyper Editor displaying pitch bend.
On the other hand, if it happens randomly, maybe the pitch wheel on your master keyboard or control surface is faulty, and is sending out unwanted MIDI data?

Pitch Bend in Logic

Can somebody tell me how the Pitch Bend controller works in Logic. It´s kinda strange. I´ll test a Midi note on middle C, and lets say i set the bend range on (ES2) to 24 semitones up and down.
When i make a bend automation from 0, and up to + 24, in the Midi Draw editor. The note pitch ends on D4 rather then C5 and in order to get it up on the correct pitch, i have to bump it up to + 31. Another example;
If i want to go from C2, and down an octave to C1. This time i set the bend range on my instrument to 12 semitones, up and down. in order to go down an octave, i have to set the Pitch Bend Control to - 63, and not - 12 semitones from the zero line.
Is it possible to adjust the pitch bend control to go from one semitone up or down by by 1 value in the Midi Draw editor?
If somebody can help me, i would be very grateful.. because this pitch bend control in Logic drives me crazy.

Pitch bend is a different animal than standard MIDI values.
In the Midi Spec, pitch bend has 16,384 possible variation values. (14-bit)
MIDI Draw uses a 0 to 127 scale (+/- 63 with 0 being the median) the numbers do not directly represent pitch bend steps but interact with the synth's (ES2) pitch bend setting. What's different about the ES2 is that is has both PB Up and Down settings, most synths just have one setting, the up/down parameters can confuse things even more.
Your example:
"If I want to go from C2, and down an octave to C1. This time i set the bend range on my instrument to 12 semitones, up and down. in order to go down an octave, i have to set the Pitch Bend Control to - 63, and not - 12 semitones from the zero line."
Yes, this is exactly correct... because it's not semitones you're dealing with. Using your example with the instrument set to -12 semitones up/down if I want to bend to G2 I will use the MIDI Draw number on 31 or 32. What you have to do is correlate the +63/-63 with the bend +/- setting on your synth.
I've never used MIDI draw as I have synths with pitch bend wheel but I'm guessing Logic fills the in-between 14-bit pitch bend values so that MIDI draw adjustment appear to be smooth and not an abrupt change from one pitch to another.

In logic pro 7 how do I stop low volume high pitched squeal

Im using logic pro 7 with moto hd896 firewire. music will play thru itunes but won't thru logic.a message error while trying to sync audio and midi.

I don't use Logic yet, but I will. Sounds like a clocking error. Have you tried clocking to one source, and then clocking to the other and comparing the results? Those high-pitched noises are probably digital noise like what I hear on my phone when my cellphone is on too, and my computer monitor is 3' away. Did someone call your computer by telephone while you worked? Is something on?
Otherwise, how many times have you copied your session and edited the copy? after compressing something? after dithering?
Also, when a USB interface is hooked up too, and I'm recording thru Channel 2, lets say, and I set the input to "stereo", I get noise like you're talking about from the other unused channel. Try checking your input selection.

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get...?

In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get and is there possibility to download more as it says 40 on the programs info on the Mac Store, as i intend to compose on it but with only 40 instruments it's not really worth it.
So i was just wondering whether it let you download more for free.
Thanks for reading
~Matt

Yes: I too am interested in the software instruments available in Logic Pro: one has to be a bit wary of the jam packs because there don't seem to be many solo instruments included. But I looked at the Logic screen in an Apple store the other day, and it worked like GarageBand in
this respect: you created a new track choosing the software instrument option and a whole lot of instruments came
up in a column on the right: lots of solo wind instruments, plenty of keyboards and guitars of course and not very many solo strings, only one violin, in the world music subsection under Irish fiddle. Yehudi Menuhin
where are you when we need you?
What I've been trying to find out is which part of the purchase does this long list of software instruments arrive with, because it's basically the only reason
I'm interested - I get on fine with gb but it
Just hasn't got enough instruments, and as I say the jam packs don't seem
to resolve this ? Or do they? Could someone please help
me with this?

I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo

Good work, thanks for the report.

Logic Pro X inaccessible after waking from sleep when using an MCU Control Surface

I'm having a problem I cannot seem to get around without force quitting Logic every time. If I have a Control Surface setup as a Mackie Control (v1.0); and if the computer goes to sleep, and then i turn off the controller while the computer is asleep (for any reason), and then wake the computer without turning on the controller first, Logic becomes completely unusable and must be force quit.
My controller in this example is Solid State Logic's Nucleus controller, however it happens with other Mackie Control compatible controllers (i have another one i tested against), BUT not a real Mackie Controller sold by Mackie (i tested with that as well); more details below.
For the SSL controller, Logic automatically sets it up like this:
Now if the computer goes to sleep, and i wake it up, i get the following dialog, which is fine:
After clicking on "Continue" button or hitting the enter key, Logic is rendered useless, as if there is a modal dialog still open somewhere. Clicking anywhere on the gui results in white flashes and nothing else. doing cmd+Q to quit actually makes it try to quit (a save dialog appears), but it never does successfully quit, making me resort to force-quitting. For an example, here's a pic of the file menu at this point:
I also have a regular Mackie Control Unit (MCU Pro) and the strange thing is with that unit, everything works fine after sleep, turning off controller, and re-awakening. However, there is a difference in what kind of dialog is displayed after the sleep, which probably has something to do with this issue.
Here is the setup screen of the MCU Pro:
And here is the dialog for the missing ports after waking from sleep:
This dialog is completely different than the other control surface's missing ports dialog. When clicking on "Keep unassigned" here, Logic resumes working fine.
The project is as minimal as possible; nothing is loaded, all that's there is an empty instrument track and a Control Surface configured.
I'm using a Mac Mini (late 2012)
Processor 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
with Logic Pro X 10.0.7
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you ever figure out a solution to this problem?
I just pulled out my original Emagic Logic Control (MIDI) and I have having the same problem.
