HELP - Logic Continuously Plays Midi Note

so when ever i adjust a parameter while holding down a note to listen to the change within a virtual instrument (3rd party and stock logic) logic continuously plays out a note and i have to close logic to get rid of it. its very annoying because whenever I'm working on a patch i have to save and close it out.
does anyone have any ideas in how to fix this?

To trash preferences go to the library folder in your user account folder (that's the one that has the little house icon). Once you open the library folder open the preferences folder and you will find I believe 3 logic preferences. They should all be together and look something like this: com.apple.logic.pro.cs
Trash those preferences and restart logic. Hopefully that will take care of the problem. I know from past experience any time Logic was acting kind of strange when I deleted the prefs everything seem to reset itself.
When you reopen Logic it will make new preferences in the preferences folder. Realize that if you have any custom key commands and such they will be deleted. Good luck!

Is it C2 or C-2?

Logic Control plays music notes!!!

Hi. My Logic Control behaves fine with audio tracks and midi tracks , but on Audio Instrument tracks (eg Sculpture , ES2 ) anything i press of move on the Logic Control plays the softsynth. The transport , track arm etc , all buttons behave like a keyboard. Even the channel faders play music notes. Its behaving like a Midi keyboard controller!
What am i doing wrong.....what should i do.
Also , the Logic Control does NOT show up in the Logic Setup assistant , nor the Audio Midi Setup. Though it shows up in Logic and works fine with audio tracks , the LCD displays my midi tracks just fine etc etc.
please help.

Hi Allan. So sorry but i didnt understand which problem ur talking about---does ur Logic Control also play notes , or does it not show up in ur setup assistant ?
Thanks for ur post, i shall try and do what u do.

How to play MIDI notes C-2 to C-1 on keyboard but TRIGGER notes C2-C3?

I need to achieve this while playing an EXS instrument (for live performance). In Mainstage it is very easy to do but for this particular song I have to perform with Logic (long story).
Thanks in advance!

In which case, use the transposition parameter on the channel strip object the EXS is on, rather than the MIDI thru parameters.
It's the set of parameters underneath the MIDI thru parameters - you might need to click the disclosure triangle to reveal them if they are hidden. This will just transpose the EXS instrument alone, rather than all your incoming MIDI.

Logic Pro X: Midi takes do not play

When I record a few midi takes with looping on and set to "create tracks and mute when cycling", I can only play back the first take. Subsequent takes are greyed out, silent, and nothing I do seems to make any difference. You can see in the screen cap, the top track (green) plays, but even if I click on the other tracks or the clips themselves below, I can't get them to play. Can anyone help please? Thanks - TJ

Thanks CCT: New to Logic I'd forgotten that there are two ways to mute (other than the mute button). There reason I chose the mute option is so I can make a bunch of attempts to record a section and not hear each loop while I record (I guess that's the best way?). I usually build up midi note by note on the piano roll, so this is something new for me. I thought mute would be a temporary thing that Logic did only while recording. Anyway, thanks! this solved my problem.

Logic only plays one MIDI note at a time. Roland R8

Hey guys, totally new to MIDI and posted this question on another forum, but for some reason I can't get Logic to play more than one note at a time with my Roland R8 drum machine. I've searched the we far and wide along with this forum and the R8 manual to no avail.
Also, it's doesn't seem to play the full range of notes ie, anything above C6, when the R8 manual says that there are sounds there.
I've got a USB MIDI lead connected, with the in in the out and vice-versa. I've also attached a screen shot of my MIDI matrix thing and the inspector window for the instrument.
Thanks so much!

Logic Pro X: One MIDI note won't play

I am having a strange problem with Logic Pro X. I use a Yamaha CP33 as my main MIDI keyboard, connected by USB. In the past couple weeks, a strange problem has emerged - one of the notes from the keyboard, the B-2, to be specific, just doesn't trigger. At first I thought the key was broken, but it's okay, because:
- all keys work fine when I use the keyboard's analog audio output
- all keys work fine in MainStage
- the non-functional key moves up and down if I choose to transpose the notes on the keyboard.
So I have concluded that it's a software issue specific to Logic. I have already tried reinstalling the Yamaha USB MIDI driver, it didn't help. Could it be some obscure setting in Logic that is messing things up? What do you suggest can I do to fix this?

Hi
You may have set up LPX to use that MIDI note as an automation control, or as a keycommand
a) Go to Preferences;Controller Assignments & check there
b) Go to Preferences Key Commands and check there
Might be quicker to reset aboth?

Is it possible to record parts of a phone call on Skype into Logic, then play back the audio while still on the Skype call? I'm a voice teacher coaching students in other cities, and Skype is not helpful with this idea.

Hi
What I'm saying is:
Make a new MONO audio track (use the + button). Assign it to input 1
Make a second new MONO track, assign it to input 2
Name both tracks, record-enable both tracks, and record.
You could, of course, make both tracks in one go via the new track dialog box, and hav ethem automatically assigned to ascending inputs.

Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
_Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

I'm having the same problem.
one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

Getting external software to trigger midi notes in a logic project

Happy new years guys,
I've recently figured out how to use a 3rd party software (e.g. ableton live) to input midi notes into logic.
so i can set up an ES2 in logic, and use the software (ableton) as the source of midi info. great.
however, when i press the "spacebar" (i.e. play) to kick off my logic project, ableton is not playing as well.
ableton would play synced if logic was opened 1st, and ableton was the re-wire slave. but in re-wire slave mode, ableton has no midi outs !!
so on the 1 hand, i can open ableton 1st, then logic - which would give me the ability to use midi events in ableton to trigger ES2, but then I can't sync the playback of logic + ableton.
on the 2nd hand, i can open logic 1st, then ableton - which would let me press spacebar in logic, and ableton would then run synced as the slave. but this way, ableton has no midi outs, as its runnin in re-wire slave mode !!
what i really want to do is just use ableton as the midi sequencer / trigger, and use logic for everything else (mixing, effects, ES2 synth, ESM etc.)
i just want to use ableton to edit / create my midi info etc.
anybody have suggestions on how I can achieve this?
i appreciate your time / responses. this forum has been a great help for me.
ian

There's a couple of things to try...
If you're only using Ableton as the MIDI sequencer...
See if Ableton has the ability to sync to "MIDI Clock" and MIDI Song Pointer if possible.
Go into Logic's synchronization and enable MIDI Clock Out.
I don't know if the current IAC bus will do ot if you have to crteate a second.
The second way would invlove MTC (Midi Time Code) over a second IAC bus.

Logic Pro 9 MIDI issues with sustaining notes

I'm a little new to Logic 9 but please bear with me. I have connected my keyboard via MIDI to USB to my Mac and the computer recognizes it perfectly but when I try to play some software instruments it many times continues to play a certain note even after I depressed it. I am not holding down my sustain pedal yet Logic still continues to play a certain note. It does not seem to be a slow fade out or anything like that but rather it seems to be stuck. It does not seem to be really any given note, since it happened to me on different notes. The only way for me to stop Logic from playing is either to switch instruments of reset the MIDI by going to the control panel at the bottom and clicking repeatedly there on MIDI in.
Could someone clue me in on what to do to remedy this issue?

sounds like either logic is not seeing the note off command from the keyboard or the keyboard is not sending it properly. try playing the note that is sticking down and up again and see if the stuck note stops. or take a look at the midi i/o window in the transport at the bottom of the arrange page when you press the note it will show the note and when you let off, it should read off.
Also you may want to limit some info coming into logic and see if that make a difference. go to, project settings>midi>input filter, and check the aftertouch and polyphonic aftertouch, and maybe system exclusive, so that it is filtered out and see if that helps

Logic 8 plays thru spkrs, no MIDI devices will record or play thru - WHY?

I've installed Logic Studio on m MacBookPro. Everything seems to work.
When I plug in my ekeys 48 and Maudio mobile pre (with newest drivers) I can get sound out of Logic, but the keyboard will not play through and it will not record.
Ditto with the "Caps Lock" keyboard in the program.
All the devices show up fine in the Audio Midi Setup.
Garageband works just fine with all the devices, records, plays back, etc. Not Logic . It's not logical.
I've configured the audio devices as described in the "Aggregate Devices" link on the PRO help page: Here -- http://www.apple.com/pro/techniques/aggregateaudio/recording.html --
and it hasn't been updated to reflect the setup options in Logic 8 -- having never used Logic 7, I don't know how to transpose them.
Can anyone help me out here?

Hm. Odd problem, but I think you'll need to provide more info for people to effectively trouble shoot this for you.
Some things to try...
1) in Logic open a MIDI Activity window and see if it displays anything when you press the keys on your controller. If the answer's YES, then at least you know Midi's being received by Logic (and it's instruments), but the SOUND is just not getting to the speakers.
If the answer's NO, then it's a MIDI routing problem. Check that the MIDI input parameter (upper left in your arrange window) is set to the right MIDI source -- as in, does it name your keyboard or interface and the right channel? Mine, for instance, says "MOTU XT 1" (meaning, the input is coming from Port 1 of the Motu XT interface). If it said something else, like "US2400 3", then I'd know why there was no MIDI getting from my keyboard to the synths...
2) Can you run any of your synths (like the Native Instruments stuff for example) in stand alone mode? Does it get MIDI activity and make music alright?
3) If you have an instrument track setup in Logic, go into the Matrix editor and use the pen tool to enter some notes. Hit PLAY. Does sound come out from the instrument track? At least this might prove that the instrument channels are working, it's just that MIDI isn't getting to them...
4) try loading some Logic demo songs, or even Garage band songs into Logic (I think that works, never tried it) and see if they play alright.
That's all I can think of now. As others have said in your other thread, the "Logic Pro Help" forum is a good source of high quality technical advice.
Apple themselves are pretty much useless for Logic Pro help, unless you want to pay $199 to have an 'expert' tell you that they are 'aware of the bugs'.

Midi keyboard does not play the note F2.

Hey guys,
My Logic is running fine overall but this one thing is realy upsetting: My usb midi keyboard (Alesis q25) does not play the note F2. If I press the key on the midi keyboard the note is not shown in the transport area (or transport field? don't know the correct english word) BUT when I release the key it shows that the note is not played anymore (a crossed note appears and next to it it says: F2_ _64). Furthermore it is not a problem of the hardware because when I use another octave the same key makes the midi files play but another key, now assigned to F2, is not working anymore. The caps lock keyboard is working fine so i think there is a problem with the midi setup but logic is not really making it easy for me to reassign the keyboard completeley. Could anyone help me please?
I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
cheers

figured it out my self. cmd+k and then delete any assignments
