Default key commands "Bonking"

Hi all,
Just picked up Logic Pro Studio. On numeric keyboard, as I try to start and stop with 0, I get a "apple bonk". Also astrik "record" and other short cut keys. Watching a tutorial and see that these keys are suppose to do something. How can I reset default command keys or adjust these key to work properly.

thanks for the reply jdredge,
He was useing 9 in the tutorial but probably had earlier versions as you described. I deleted tranzport from control surface, repaired disc, trashed prefs (com. apple playlist and playlist cs. reset defaults (although I've only been on it for a week and didn't change anything. ) I haven't hit it hard for system specs but I'm running 10.5.7 with Logic pro 9. Do you think it makes a difference if I went to 10.5.8 and logic 9.0.1? Or are these the new defaults and that wouldn't matter. One more thing, as I look at key command list... what is a up arrow (like a greater than or less than symbol but points up) with a line over it , and what is an arrow that kinda swoops down from the right and goes left?
Thanks again for writing, I'll try your suggestion.

  • What is the default key command for the COMMAND key?I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key it hides all windows or shows desk top I need to correct this as soon as possible-.any ideas?

    What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Go to
     > System Preferences > Keyboard
    Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
    As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

  • Are the default key commands completely different in L9 compared to L8?

    Hi Guys,
    I have had to reset my key commands to the defaults, and seem to have lost all my old key commands.
    My commands with Logic 8 were the absolute default ones (I didn't change any of them!!) - here are some of the ones I used a lot:
    Pressing 0 on the numeric keyboard was always stop. "/" on the numeric keyboard was always cycle on/cycle off.
    Pressing control and using the up/down/left/ right arrows (the ones in between the QWERTY keyboard and the number pad) always zoomed in and out, vertically and horizontally respectively...
    Pressing the "C" key was always click on/click off. Now it's cycle on/off.
    My question is... can someone confirm that the Logic 9 default key commands are completely different, and that these shortcuts above have all gone?
    I know I can set them up again, I guess I'm just puzzled that so many of the main commands would completely change their defaults for L9!
    Cheers and thanks,
    Mike

    Some of the more in-depth key commands have changed slightly , but the standard ones are still the same.
    Most of these you've described are ( or should be still ) exactly the same.
    Make sure that you are still using the standard keyboard layout and language in *'Apple/system preferences/international/input menu'*
    Mine swiched to German a few months ago and I had no idea what was going on.

  • Logic X default key commands - I accidentally deleted them. How can I get them back?

    Logic X default key commands - I accidentally deleted them. How can I get them back? Is it necessary to reinitialize the program or can I get the key commands somewhere else? Thanks!

    Choose Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Edit
    From the Key Commands window, choose Options > Presets.
    What do you see in that menu? You should see something like this:

  • Importing default key commands.

    ALOHA! I had the keycommands acting crazy on a project I am working on, so as a quick fix to keep working I initalized them.
    How do I import the default keycommands back to this project?

    Note: You will lose your existing key command assignments if you make use of the Initialize functions, so ensure that you have created a copy of your Logic Preferences file before doing so.
    Saving Key Commands
    Your personal key assignments are stored in a separate Preferences file. You should:
    • Make a backup of this file at another hard disk location.
    • Make a backup on removable media (a CD-ROM, for example), in case you need to use Logic on another computer.
    Importing Key Commands
    This function is particularly useful if you need to work temporarily on someone else’s system; you might want to use your personal key assignments on it, without altering the other system’s settings.
    The Options > Import Key Commands function allows you to import the key assignments from any Logic Preferences file. When selected, a file selector box allows you to browse any internal drive or removable media for the desired Logic Preferences file.
    The existing Preferences file (on the target system) is automatically saved as a ∗.bak file.
    This file contains the old key commands.
    Note: You don’t need to restart Logic to begin using the new key command set.

  • Key Command for Option Clicking a Marker

    Option Clicking a Marker does just what I want. It sets the playhead to the beginning of that marker without selecting the marker. Now if I could make the Keypad behave the same way, I could save myself a lot of damage to my Marker tracks. Right now a keypad # selects the marker, moves the playhead to it and sets the locators around it. preferences to make this more granular would be welcome.
    The option keypad numbers seem to be unused in the default key commands. Perhaps the option key could be set to trigger the same behaviour as option clicking a marker. it makes it intuitive (meaning I tried it.)

    The only way I can think of is to use a Macro app like QuicKeys assigning a KeyStrokes to a sequence of two key commands:
    For example:
    ctr+opt+cmd+1 triggers 1 (go to Marker 1) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
    ctr+opt+cmd+2 triggers 2 (go to Marker 2) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
    ctr+opt+cmd+3 triggers 3 (go to Marker 3) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
    You can assign the QuickKeys commands (ctr+opt+cmd+1, etc) to the keypads and they will move the Playhead to that Marker and selects the Marker. However, QuicKeys sends the second KeyCommand right away and deselects the Marker.
    No deleting of selected Marker by accident anymore.
    The KeyCommands in Logic are already very powerful, but when combined with QuicKeys (or any other Macro app) that lets you fire up a sequence of KeyCommands or mouse click on specific areas on the Logic interface per key commands, then it gets really powerful. Combine that with multi-touch gestures on your TrackPad using the amazing BetterTouchTool app, an you can take your customized workflow to a whole new level.
    Hope that helps

  • 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

  • Cycle mode key command

    Hi. I know this may be trivial but I've been searching everywhere for a key command for toggling cycle mode with no success. Anyone who knows would be so kind to help. Also, is there a list of default key commands anywhere that can be found? I looked for it in the manuals but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.

    Did you customise that yourself, or is it one of the language/region differences?
    I've been with Logic since Logic 1.x. I've been known to customise my own key commands plenty (which is the key to a powerful, fast, efficient and bespoke workflow).
    They evolve over time, of course. Like how they stopped letting you assign the tab key in LP8. Tab has been my "set rounded locators and play and cycle selection" for fifteen years until LP8... grr...
    I set up what makes most sense to me, not what makes most sense to some random guy in Hamburg.
    No one else works in Logic the exact same way as me, or uses the same functions in the same way. I set up the things I need to keys that make the most sense. I may constantly use function X and therefore assign to a single key, and never use function Y and so deassign it. You may rely on function Y but never user function X at all. So how can a generic set of key commands work optimally for every persons unique workflow and requirements?
    If you already know where to look & how to search!
    Yeah, of course. I'm just talking general cases really...
    The main problem is often not knowing what something is called, therefore not having the ability to easily search the documentation. That's where other users can give a valuable heads up.
    Eg type "key commands" into the search of the manual...

  • Advice needed on Key Commands presets in Logic

    Hi, just upgraded to Snow Leopard and Logic 9 and very happy. Now I'm planning to work more with key commands. While watching many Logic 9 tutorial video's on youtube etc. I find different Logic users seem to work with different (default) key commands. For example: on http://www.youtube.com/user/groove3Inc#p/search/2/BSE3VdlkZJM he's using Ctrl * for 'Capture as recording', while for me the default command is Ctrl Alt Cmd R
    Now my question is:
    1. What is the default / standard key command preset in Logic
    2. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use (also considering that on a different location I sometimes work with Protools)
    3. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use considering the many tutorials I find on the web
    Or any other advice / tips on key commands...
    Thanks!

    You can easily create your own set of key commands, according to your own needs. I mean, you still can learn some built-in key commands, but you can also change them as you please. Probably, in your case it might make sense to have the same set of key commands for both Logic and Pro Tools, to make life easier.

  • Key Commands Printable List

    Does anyone know of a printable list (posibbly pdf) of the most commonly used key commands por Logic?
    Thanks for the help.

    Someone posted a very nicely done PDF of the default key commands in the "Tips and Tricks" section at http://LogicProHelp.com

  • Q ? key commands with the new small keyboard ?

    Does the new small wireless work properly compared with the extended keyboard with logics default key commands ? Is it just like working with a laptop ? If anyone can help I would appreciate it thanks .

    They key commands are the same for the smaller keyboard as they are for the laptop; nothing is different.
    If you go to your system's library /Library/Application Support/Logic/Key Commands/ ...
    you will see a bunch of different Key Command files with the extension '.logikcs'
    You could get yourself a keypad too, I've seen them online and at the Apple store; or, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you could make that be your keypad; then you can implement using the the 'U.S.logikcs'

  • Close one tab at a time with key commands

    Hi all,
    I'm a big key command guy. I think I've figured out most things so I rarely have to go for the trackball and leave the keyboard.
    But recently (I think since an upgrade to Safari, but I can't be 100% sure), my previous command-W that used to close the frontmost tab now closes the entire window...bummed! How do I get my key command back?
    Thanks all.

    Start with resetting all shortcuts to their defaults, restarting, and see if that fixes the problem. As I said, it works here w/o any changes made, so I suspect you or some other app mucked things up.

  • Key Command for "Go to Next Marker" doesn't work properly

    Hi there!
    While using Logic Pro 9.1.8 with Mountain Lion (10.8.2), it seems that the Key Command for "Go to Next/Previous Marker" doesn't work properly.
    The only effect is, that a grey rectangle moves in the top of the Arrange Area while ignoring the Markers itself.
    Any suggestions to solve it or is it me that is misbehaving?
    Cheers, GJ

    Hi
    The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
    Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
    Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

  • Logic crashed, key commands no longer work as well as certain windows/preferences/tools no longer exist, help!

    While trying to record a guitar track direct through from a POD HD Pro (which I've done numerous times), Logic suddenly crashed. The screen went dark and my Macbook Pro rebooted. Once I opened Logic Pro X again, it looks like a more primitive and basic version of Logic. I no longer have the capability to open a separate mix/midi/score/etc window. When I select midi tracks they do not show up in the piano roll as to be able to edit. I've also lost all key command functions (i used just default Logic key commands). Is there any way to restore Logic Pro X or do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

    Sounds like Logic's prefs got deleted or corrupted so...
    First, do this (Note you will lose any custom key commands you may have created ...)
    Quit Logic pro X and then....
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    Now after restarting Logic... go to Logic Preferences/Advanced and turn on all the advanced features...
    Set other preferences back to how you like them (Not forgetting selecting your Audio device)
    Things should be then back to normal again...
