Exporting MIDI in Logic Express 9

I use logic to record VST drum tracks using Superior Drummer. I may record a few different takes that are in my take folder. When I'm editing the MIDI take, I may add some extra bass drum hits or cymbal crashes.
Here is my problem: When I select the take to export, after its saved to my desktop, I'll reimport it to test it. It imorts 2 MIDI files. The first one is the main file with the track and CC info. the second MIDI track is the added hits that I edited earlier. I now have to merge the two files to make them play correctly.
This happens when I send to my friend who is also using superior drummer, but on Nuendo.
I have normalized the track and try to merge is but no luck!
Does Logic make a track layer with added MIDI information on top of the played take MIDI track?
Also, If I have multiple MIDI takes and select the one take I want to export, I get all the takes in the export. How do I only export the selected take and not have to delete all my takes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will ask my question on another way. How guys are you using the punch in/out mode ? tell me the context and the options selected for this.
For me it is made for replace a part of a recording that you don't like and repeat that until you get te right take.
I've rea the manual but I don't find what I want to do.
Image you record 4 measures and you don't like the 2 last measures. You want to replace it. It's what I want to do. For me I thought you could put the cycle mode on over the 4 measures and put the punch in/out mode on the 2 last measures with the replace button activated. That's doesnt work. After I've tried the same method with selecting the take folder option in the project record option. But I can't heard the 4 measures in the loop. I just heard the 2 last measures that are between the punch in/out selectors.
Could you help me please?
Thanks

Midi file Logic Express 7.2 and Sibelius 4.10

Hi All
I am using Logic Express 7.2 to export a midi file then importing it into Sibelius 4.10, this works fine on G5 mac but not on an intel iMac.
The Sibelius error is "There was a problem opening the midi file: Not a format 0 or 1 midi file"
I have contacted Sibelius support and they have said this is a Logic problem.
My own research has shown that if the logic file has only one track and I export a midi Sibelius will open it but not a multiple track file. As mentioned above G5 macs have no problem whatsoever.
Has anyone come across this or have any suggestions please. Thanks

I have discovered one thing, after deleting preferences,etc.: it seems that everything start because my evolution USB keyboard is connected with usb to powerbook. I have tried also with another USB Edirol keyboard, and it's the same. Instead, if I connect the keyboard with MIDI the 1082 works again. Strange because: 1) before update, usb and firewire were connected and everything was fine, 2) now in the same usb port a guitar rig board is connected and the 1082 works as usual... ?!?!?!?!

Logic Express + Korg microKONTROL

I have recently got back into using Logic Express after purchasing it about a year or so ago and I'm now having problems with getting my microkontrol MIDI controller to work with it. I have read the manual thoroughly and it seems to be in a different language to me.
I'm not even sure of what MIDI device/port settings I'm supposed to select when going through the process of the Logic Setup Assistant. I can't find the right information in the documentation I have.
Is anyone able to help with how I might be able to hear the notes that I play and/or record MIDI in Logic Express ? I would greatly appreciate some help. I'm not too concerned with controlling automation or controlling many parameter just yet. I just want to play my synths.
Failing that, if there is anyone who is London-based and kind enough to show me how this works ? (I will pay).
Cheers!

hey Sine,
go to the environment and create an object for the microKontrol.
Regards,
Jorge

Export instrument track from logic express 9

Hi everyone, I would purchase logic express 9 but I need to know if is possible to export the midi(not sounds) of an instrument track...and make the upload of these midi on pro tools for example...because with garage band I can't export the midi!!!

yes you can export a MIDI region to a MIDI File in Logic.

MIDI editing with Logic Express (Thinking about buying Express)

I currently use GarageBand to write songs using MIDI. When I want to finalize a song, I use Pro Tools to give it some gentle limiting. I'd use Pro Tools exclusively, but I find GB so easy to use that I can't see myself bothering with PT for MIDI.
How are the MIDI editing capabilities on Logic Express? How would they compare in terms of ease of use versus GarageBand (and Pro Tools, for that matter)? Is there another program out there that's great for MIDI editing/programing? Can GarageBand export MIDI (I doubt, though...).
[ I wish I could use the software instruments found (free) in Pro Tools with GarageBand, seeing as how I'd have a little more to choose from and a bit higher quality. How would you rate the software intruments found in Logic Express? ]
MacBook (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 677 MHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) GarageBand & Pro Tools

Hi Jose,
My version of Protools is 6.4, so the midi editing in Logic Express,
is far better, if you like GarageBand you'll probably Love Express,
apart from the learning curve everything's better.
Better than Express only Logic pro.
Every sound you have in GB you have in Logic ( I believe they share the same audio engine) but with the benefit the plug-ins (32 bits internal process it sounds better) also you can twick the sounds, plus you have Soft synths and sampler with loads of new sounds.
Cheers,
Jorge

External MIDI device, can't get more than one sound, Logic Express 9 & Korg N364

Hi, I just beginning to use Logic. I trying to get Logic Express 9 to work with and use my Korg N364 keyboard/workstation as an external MIDI device. I can only get one sound at a time even though I create multiple tracks and assign different programs (or patches) to them.
Each time I do the following: I add a new external MIDI track, change the Channel to new number, put a check in the Program box ( as well as the Volume & Pan), and choose a instrument or patch from the Program drop down menu. What happens, though, it changes the sound to that instrument alright, but ALL THE PREVIOUS EXTERNAL MIDI TRACKS HAVE THE SAME SOUND NOW. I've followed the tutorials I found on the web and it seems like I'm doing everything correct in Logic. I hooked up the MIDI cables, added a new device and connected virtual cables in the MIDI studio window of my Mac OS, and have added the proper Korg multi instrument in the environment window of Logic and "un-slashed" the 16 channels. I get the sounds from the Korg no problem, it's just that I can only assign one sound and no more to the external MIDI tracks. Is there something in my Korg I need to do? Or am I missing something in Logic?

It's not Logic, it's how you have the Korg setup.
I'm not familiar with that model but it is a workstation so I'm pretty sure you can set it to a "Multi" mode.
Right now you are running it in single patch mode.
In single patch mode only one sound is available on a single MIDI channel, your Korg probably has a Multi or Combi mode, this is where multiple sounds can be played, each sound has to have it's own MIDI channel.
You will need to set this up on the Korg first.

$5 Starbucks card to first successful answer: how to import midi timecode into Logic Express 9 from Roland VS-880 or Ensoniq ASR-10

I will literally mail a $5 Starbucks card or gift $5 via paypal to the first person whose response gets me success. Then after all responses are provided and I'm successful with my issue, I'll also raffle off $5 to one of ALL respondents by random pick.
Problem/question:
I can't figure out how to import midi timecode data from either an Ensoniq ASR-10 or Roland VS-880 Vxpanded into Logic Express 9, so I can then use Logic Express 9 as the master. No manuals seem to explain that; I just can't find it.
Background/basics:
1. My ultimate goal will be to move all midi data from the Ensoniq ASR-10 floppies and all digital audio files from the VS-880 into Logic Express 9. Once the midi timing is imported into a Logic Express 9 file, I'll import the data from the Ensoniq & Roland via steps 2a & 2b below.
1a. Ten years ago I somehow (am in the process of re-learning what I did 10 years ago) imported the midi timing into the Roland VS-880 Vxpanded from the ASR-10, and then used the VS-880 as the Master to control the ASR-10. So my current status is that I use the Roland VS-880 as the master, and the Ensoniq ASR-10 as the slave.
2. FYI for anyone who might be in the same boat, wanting to transfer stuff from an Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland VS-880 to the computer:
2a. I will import all midi sequence data from my ASR-10 floppy disks via a utility purchased here, which will all a PC to read Ensoniq-formatted disks, and then just hopefully cut/paste midi files into Logic Express 9 (FYI only): www.chickensys.com
2b. Then will import all the individual WAV files from my Roland VS-880 to Logic Express 9 using a method learned here (FYI only): http://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=985974&PHP SESSID=b1d2f57be4a1d37d49787400213b22df
2c. I'll then combine them all into Logic Express 9.
So - how the heck do I capture/import the midi timecode into Logic from either the roland or ensoniq using midi?
I'm don't think that cutting/pasting the midi data into a Logic Express 9 sequence file (step 2a above) will do that, because there are all kinds of tempo & time signature changes in the midi files unfortunately.
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas!!
Andy

OK doesn't look possible. Closing discussion.

Logic Express Create MIDI from Audio Voice Track

Is it possible to take a sung voice recording and generate a MIDI track in Logic Express? I don't need to replicate the voice in the MIDI track, but would like the pitches and rhythms for editing in Finale.
Pete P.

That is a brilliant request, I'd love to see an answer to this myself. I've thought of this type of feature in the past and seen that there are tools out there that can convert audio from a guitar or other instrument to create midi - so the technology is there - the question is can Logic do it? hmmm curious too.

Logic Express not syncing with phonics firewire board via audio midi

I am unable to get my logic express to sync with the phonics helix firewire board. the phonics board is recognized by the midi audio set up, but only sometimes.
I have tried adjusting the sample rate in logic and in audio midi and I have tried switching the clock source from mac to device as well as changing the firewire chord.
I am unable to get sound through the board to the computer or from the computer through the board.
I am also receiving error messages regarding the programs reading of the sample rate.
Please help.
Thank you

I received an excellent pointer over on the Mackie support forum, and that was to set up an Aggregate Device in the OS X Audio Midi Setup utility.
That worked great, and now I have analog input to my 400F, and output/monitoring on my Mac's Built-in Line Out/speakers.

Unable to play External Midi Instruments in Logic Express

Hi,
I have a Yamaha Keyboard which is connected to my Mac via a usb midi cable (Edirol). I have installed the driver for the midi cable and have set it up properly in the "Audio Midi Setup".
However when I am using Logic Express, I just do not know where I can select the midi cable(Edirol) for my Midi In / Out put and as such, I am unable to play any sounds from my keyboard in Logic Express.
Is someone can advise me on this, would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance and cheers.

Hi
Thanks so much for your reply. I have done so for the setup, however when I am in Logic Express I am still unable to play sounds from my keyboard. The mac seems to be using sounds from the computer instead and I do not know where in Logic Express can i go to set it such that my keyboard sounds are used in stead, as i wish to assign channels to my various midi instruments so that they play the right sound from my keyboard.
Please help!! Thanks

MIDI plays in GarageBand, but not Logic Express

hi, all...when i drag or import a MIDI file that i know works in GarageBand into Logic Express, i can see all the different tracks and notation, but when i press play, no sound comes out, tho the measure line is moving and the volume indicators are lighting up.
any clue what's going on?

This has already been discussed here numerous times. You should do a search on the forum and read the Logic for Garage Band Users pdf. When you open a midi file in Logic, the tracks are not assigned to virtual instruments like in GB, they're only midi tracks. If you want to hear sounds, you have assign them to an external sound module, to the QuickTime synth available in Logic or you have to create audio instruments tracks and move you midi data to those.
