How do I change the key?  (MIDI In)

I've got an external keyboard connected via MIDI triggering the stock Grand Piano sw instrument. I need to change the key of the playback; the key change popup under Master Track has no effect, and the Region Pitch slider is greyed out. Is there some other way to change the playback key?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply. There's not a region to select, as I haven't yet recorded anything; I need the instrument to playback realtime in a different key. It doesn't seem to respond to my keyboard's transpose output either, btw. I hope GB can handle this; every synth/module/midi keyboard I've played going back to the early 80's can do this.

  • How do you change the key of a Logic Pro X loop?

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a song in Logic Pro X using one of the loops and I just wanted to know how to change the key of the loop to fit in with the key of the song? The key of my song is C Major while the Loop is in G Major.
    Any tips would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    How do you change the key of one specific loop using the Key/Transpose in the Inspector? Step by step instructions would be great.
    Many thanks.
    Here is the step-by-step instruction:
    Step 1: Select the MIDI Region and set the Transpose value in the Region Inspector to the left.
    Step 2: There is no Step 2
    If you are a newbie, then I would recommend to have a look at my Graphically Enhanced Manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works" where I explain everything in great details with lots of easy to understand diagrams and screenshots, including a separate chapter about Apple Loops.
    BTW: If you have a proper Apple Loop, then it should automatically adopt to the key of your Project. A transpose is not necessary, unless you want to overwrite a phrase to a specific key.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I change the key of a wav file?

    I'm using Apple Loops Utility and the wav file plays the correct key & tempo there. But when I save it, and open it up in LE or add it into the arrangement, it's playing the original key? The only thing that is correct is the tempo. Can you change the key and save the change using Apple Loops Utility?

    I'm confused. Are you saying that in Apple Loops Utility the wav plays in the key and tempo of that wave, but when you add the same wav to LE it plays in a different key? You said in LE it plays in the "original" key. Seems like that is what you would expect. I would think it would play in the "original" key in both ALU and LE.

  • How do I change the key?

    This might be basic, but I can not figure it out.
    Say I have a project with the project key set to E Major.
    I want to create a simple 1-4-5 blues progression.
    I'm putting in a piano for 12 measures and I want it to play in E the first two measures and then play two measures in A, then two measures in E etc...
    How do I accomplish that ??

    This is the LEAST intuitive feature in Garageband! Honestly, they should make this do exactly what you're asking it to do the way you're asking it to do it: change chord based on scale position (e.g. 1-4-5, as you said).
    First, actually, I don't think you're talking about changing key, I think you mean changing the chord. Here's what you do:
    Select a region / chord you want to change. This works best with MIDI. You may need to make copies of the original region rather than simply extend the loop because you need to change individual instances of it rather than the whole thing.
    Open the edit window (scissors icon) and with the region you want to change selected, change the "pitch" parameter. The pitch number refers to semitones, so you add the number of semitones it takes to move the chord to the scale position you want to hear.
    So if you start in E, and two measures later you want to move to the 4 chord (A), you move the pitch up by 5 semitones. To move to the 5 chord (B) a couple of measures later, you would copy the region and with it selected, move the pitch up 7 semitones.
    So, in Garageband language the 4 chord is pitching up by 5, and the 5 chord is pitching up by 7.
    If you're not familiar with semitones and forget the numbers, you can just change the value and you should be able to hear if it sounds too low, too high, or Goldilocks Juuuuust right!

  • URGENT!! How can I change the key of a song? Please help

    I have written a song in C major but I wanna change it to D major in order to match my vocal range better, how can I do that? I used garageband before and I just have to adjust the key and then it will change the frequency of the song automatically and hence the key of the song. How does it work in Logic? Many thanks.

    Hold down CMD (apple key) - A (to select all).
    If it's easier and you only want to select say all regions on one track, click on the track header to select all regions on that track.
    Now, if you want to select all the regions on two or more tracks:
    1. Click on the track header
    2. Shift click on another track header
    By the way, turn off the cycle area before doing this, as otherwise only regions within the cycle area will be selected.
    Cheers

  • How do I change the key photo of a Photo Journal created in iPhoto for iOS?

    Is there a way to choose this photo? It seems to default to the first photo in the event used to create the journal, not even first photo on first page.

    If you edit the journal, select the picture you want to use, choose "Edit" and then select the settings icon (the gear wheel) you can choose to select this picture as the "Key Photo".

  • How can I change the key to delete a message from the delete key to command-delete like it is in the finder?

    These new forums confuse me... Sorry.
    I often think I am typing in another window but I'm actually typing while Mail.app is selected.  When I discover this, I often (without really thinking) start whacking the delete key.  When I whack the delete key, of course, a message is moved to the trash.  So, without really thinking about it, I delete three to six messages.  Go ahead -- call me stupid.  But...
    If delete is not used to delete files in the Finder, then why is it used to delete files in Mail?
    One group suggested making customer keyboard macros.  Sounded like a plausible solution.  I could make a customer keyboard macro so that delete did nothing (or something benign) and make command-delete delete the message.  Alas, using the Apple => System Preferences => Keyboard => Keyboard Shortcuts => Application Shortcuts gave me no Joy because it won't let me do either of those.  When I try to enter either delete or command-delete into the "Keyboard Shortcut" box, it just beeps at me.
    Does anyone here have a suggestion?
    Thank you,
    pedz
    p.s.   I can get the deleted messages back using Undo (repeatedly) but I think that is new with Lion.  So life isn't tragic but it still is an interface that I'd like to change if I could.

    You can define your own custom keystrokes in System Preferences -> Keyboard.  I'm not 100% sure that this blocks the old keystroke, though, and am posting from my iPad and can't check that at the moment.

  • Is there anyway to organize icloud photo steams into abc order? and can you change the key photo image??? makes me crazy!

    I am searching for ways to organize my photo streams...alphabetical preferably.
    Also how do you change the key photo from something random that i did not choose to be the key photo (in the photo stream/icloud mode).
    Thank you!
    sue

    As far as I can see, sue, the shared Photo Streams will always show the photo last added as the key photo. So just make sure the last photo you add is a photo like to see as the key photo. I do no know of any method to arrange the photo streams alphabetically. My photo streams are neither shown in chronological order nor in the order I created them.

  • How to change the key of a MIDI track

    There has to be an easy answer for this.
    I have a Midi drum loop that I am using. I have changed the instrument so instead of the MIDI notes playing through a drum synth it is using one of logic's piano software instruments.
    What I am trying to do is change the KEY of this loop. It seems to only play in C. If I go to the piano roll, copy all the notes of the loop and move the notes up or down, I was thinking I should be able to alter the key/chord that the loop is playing. However, no matter what I do, the loop still seems to be in C.
    What is going on? And what can I do to easily change the key of this loop?

    How is Space Designer keeping the MIDI track in the same key of C
    I have no idea. I would normally think that such a thing is not possible.
    What is the instrument? What happens if you create a new track, and load this instrument, and create a new midi region, and load SD? Same problem? What about if you do this in a new project? Same problem?

  • Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
    The same goes for the key.

  • How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

    How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

    Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
    Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
    If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
    Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • How do you change the value of the primary key in the CMP?

    Hi,
    The cmp that I built has the phone as the Prikey field.
    The bean has the get/set methods. The servlet invokes the cmp
    to change the phone number. How could I do that?
    The setXXX for the priKey can not be called outside of the ejbCreate() so
    how would I change the prikey value of a particular row of the table. Do I have
    to remove the bean then create the new bean with the new priKey value?
    Please help,
    Thanks

    Thanks Mona

    Hi TOM,
    The primary key is the unique identifier of an Entity Bean.
    To change it, you have to remove the bean instance = database delete
    then you have to create a new one with the new primary-key value =
    database insert.
    Hard luck tom, maybe you should consider changing your primary key. You
    can easily change it to an AutoNum

  • How do you change the variable screen on Portal to show Key?

    Hi All,
    I have a report on our Portal.  In the variable screen, the users are asked to optionally enter Cost Centre.  When they choose to select values (pressing the button on the right) the singles values which are shown are 'Text' only.  I know in analyser, the user can switch by selecting the spanner icon - 'Display Key/Text'
    How do you change to Key within the variable screen on the portal?
    Many Thanks
    Michelle

    Thank you for your reply Amrita,
    The display in the query had been set to Text & Key as follows
    Properties of Cost Centre -> Display Tab -> Value Display Section -> Display As 'Text and Key', Text View 'Standard' and Use Characteristic Setting 'Unticked'
    Is there another section that I should be amending to ensure the 'Key' also appears in the variable screen?
    Many Thanks,
    Michelle
