How do I create custom patch lists for external synths?

Hello peeps, I'm a long-time Cubase user trying out Logic for the first time. This is driving me crazy. Just want to know how to make Logic show synth patches for a JP 8000, an MS 2000, MC 505, or any other external synth; so that I can see, in Logic, the patch I want a certain synth to switch to. I've tried in the environment to name a few, but I don't know where to input the MSB, LSB, Program change info. Its right there in the inspector window in Cubase. How do I do this in Logic? I'm stumped.

"Example: In my RS 7000 Fat Bass 1 is MSB 063, LSB 007, PC 007. How do I enter that in Logic?"
That's the problem: you don't. Or I couldn't, not in the rational way you're (quite rationally) suggesting.
If you go to the Environment window and create an external multi-instrument and double-click its header (title) bar, you'll see a drop-down menu for Bank, and another for Bank Message. I had to experiment with the Bank Message possibilities, because the Roland manual says Bank Select is "controller 0, 32" and LE8 makes you choose between those two (or choose the method of some similar product, though the similar ones aren't very similar to each other!). Pick a plausible one, and then initialize a bunch of banks in the Bank menu and see what sounds your keyboard produces. Try to match those up, by ear, with the sound banks listed in the manual for your external synth. When you find a Bank Message/Bank pair that produces something recognizable, try other banks and see if they fall into line also. If not, try again with a different Bank Message choice.
Once you find a Bank Message that produces reasonable results with several Banks, then you start double-clicking patch names within each bank and typing in names. It's a really stupid process. If there's a better one, I couldn't find it.
On the good side, once you've got the banks of patches all set, the whole package is transferable from one project to another through the Import Environment menu item. Which means, by the way, that you might want to do all this in a new, blank project that contains nothing but your external multi-instrument environment item.
Good luck--meaning I hope you had better luck than I did. It took several hours. If you want a bright side: it sure familiarizes you with all the sounds in your synth.

    How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
    The iPhone is not a multi-user device.

    How do I create a group contacts with the iPad ?

    If you set up groups in iCloud, a contact can also belong to multiple groups. And no work around or mispurposing of a field needed. You can also filter a group without using the search function. Plus, your contacts are backed and available via another avenue if needed.
    Not questioning your solution - I'm sure it works - but the functionality exists within the design.

    can ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE?
    God Bless

    Thanks Fermusic! I had the same issue as the other person, and followed your instructions. You really know your stuff! (Btw, I listened to "The Game of Life", and it is a great song! Sounds to me to be very radio-worthy song for top-40 radio stations here in the USA.) I've gotten to the point where I have your ISO files in my environment, but they are not controlling my synth correctly. I have a Roland JV-1010 with the SR-JV80-02 Orchestral Expansion card (actually, I have two JV-1010's, and the other has the SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Expansion card; my aim is to hook the 2nd JV-1010 to the first via the Midi Thru, but I'll worry about that later). Anyway, in the Environment I clicked all 16 boxes for the JV-1010 and all 16 boxes for the SR-JV80-02 Orchestral, as well as all 16 boxes for Session, which is included with the JV-1010. So, now when I create a track in my main arrange window, I can make it an external MIDI track, and access the menu in the Library tab that has all the instruments I imported into my Environment, which is good. When I select the JV-1010 option, it lists all 16 channels that I enabled, and same for the Orchestral and Session options. Once I select one of those, I go under the Inspector, and check the box next to Program, and then select the patch I want from the list of 1 through 127. However, when I do that, the sound I get when I play my MIDI keyboard does not correspond with the listed patch. Furthermore, the JV-1010 by itself (without the expansion card) has about seven sets of 1-127 (there's Preset A, B, C, D, and E). I don't know how to access all these different sets of 1-127. The Inspector only gives me the option to select from one set of 1-127, which I think is Preset-A. How do I access Presets B, C, D, and E? And likewise with the Session and Orchestral options, in actuality there's two sets of 1-127, but it only lists one set. How do I get to the other 127 patches? Also, your ISO list does not include the Orchestral II expansion- is that one available?
    There's another similar, but different problem I'm having. I purchased Finale 2009, which comes with the Garritan Personal Orchestra sound library. I don't know how to access that sound library from within Logic. I Googled it the other day, and someone made mention of the Kontakt Player. Apparently, Finale/Garritan used to ship with the Kontakt Player, but they've replaced it with their own player, called Aria Player, and I can't bring up Aria Player from within Logic. I guess I will try to download a free version of Kontakt Player and maybe Logic will recognize it.
    All these issues have in common the same problem: inter-usability of sound libraries, be they software sounds like Garritan Personal Orchestra or hardware sounds like the JV-1010. This is an extremely vexing and challenging issue! Btw, once I get Logic to recognize all of my sound libraries (software and hardware alike), I'm going to turn my attention to Finale, and try to get all of my Logic sound library as well as the JV-1010 working with it. Any advice there? Haha- sorry to overload you with questions, but you are apparently a well of knowledge!

  • Creating custom correspondence forms for external confirmations

    Hi gurus,
    could you please share your experience, what is the possible solution to create custom external correspondence forms -  confirmations for Business partners or modify the template,  like the one pre-delivered by SAP - F_TR_CONFIRM_ALL.
    my client need confirmations for those financial transactions:
    u2022     Fixed interest bonds;
    u2022     Variable interest bonds;
    u2022     Repos;
    u2022     Interest rate swaps (IRS);
    u2022     Securities lending;
    u2022     Deposits.
    Thanks for your input.
    Rgds,
    Renatas

    Hi,
    The correspondence function provided by SAP is freely definable, and can be assigned with any other custom made forms as well. You may need to develop a new form script by copying existing standard form and make changes as per your specific requirment and assign the same at spro--correspondence area against respective transaction activity.
    Please note, while developing new forms, and if those are assigned for automatic print processing, any inconsitency in the form may lead to runtime error while creating transactions (FTR_CREATE).

  • How do I create custom subject lines for form responses?

    We want our forms to be able to generate a custom subject line--each time someone puts in a request. Gmail threads everything together with the same subject line so when we get e-mail notifications when someone submits a form we often miss these because multiple notifications get threaded together. This could be solved if we can customize the headlines. Do you know how to do this?

  • How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

    Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
    Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
    for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
    email list?
    It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
    submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
    I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
    Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
    Widget and an email account.
    By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
    when I can afford it).
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
    In the meantime you can use a form  or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.

  • How to create customer master data for walking customer in retail

    hi experts !!!!!!
    for retail industry e.g books trading industry
    how to create customer master data for walking customer in retail
    its dummy or one time customer
    if i create one time customer then same customer number can i use for every new order and every new customer how ?????
    thanks

    Dear Hanumant,
    As per my view,,
    You can use one time customer functionality to full fill your requirement.
    When you create sales order with one time customer system take you to the customer data maintanence screen through that you can maintain the one time customer data.
    Same one time customer number you can use for every new order through maintaining different data.
    I hope this will help you,

  • How to create a content list for sections and chapters etc

    just started with Pages on iPad 2 and really like is BUT where is the control for creating a content list for a long document for chapetrs etc?
    thanks guys

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting the screen shots I have been unsuccessful in determining exactly where the problem is coming from. Would it be possible for you to post the actual VI so that I can work with it so see if I can reproduce this issue using your code? In regard to your questions:
    1.    You are correct 1000 samples read should write 1000 samples to the table
    2.    I believe the discrepancy is due to amount of manipulation done between the read and the file write but I cannot be certain, without the code to work with.
    3.     I am unclear as to exactly what is happening. If you are reading empty channels then you may receive erroneous readings this is to be expected. When you connected your accelerometer did you connect in RSE or differential? You can also manipulate the signal range with will affect the gain setting, how off are the readings?

  • How to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class

    Hi,
    I'm struggeling to understand how to map a custom enum list to a custom form property in an extended incident class.
    Here's what i want to have happen:
    I am going to publish a request offering on my SMPortal for allowing users to submit basic IT incidents. I want the form to include "Whom does this problem affect" (answers(This is the custom enum list): Me, Multiple Users, Whole department or Whole
    company), "What is the problem about", "Description" and "Attachments".
    Here's what i've done:
    In the authoring tool i created a MP for the custom enum list and put only the list in it. I sealed the MP and imported it.
    I created another unsealed MP called TST.Incident.Library for storing incident library customizations and extended the incident class to add an extension class i called ClassExtension_Affected scope with a custom property i called AffectedScope. Then i am trying
    to set the datatype of this property to "list". In the "select a list" dialog i cannot chose my previously sealed MP with the custom enum list in it. Why?
    - Do i need to scratch the sealed MP and put the custom enum list in the latter TST.Incident.Library MP instead?
    - If so, can i do that and keep this MP unsealed, or will i get an error on import saying "Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions"
    - Should i create one sealed MP for both the custom enum list and the extension class + custom property?

    Hi,
    Authoring Tool simply isn't informed about your list. Open the sealed management pack where you define the root of the list in the Authoring Tool and in the same time open TST.Incident.Library. You will have two opened MPs in the Authoring
    Tool and be able to add a custom list for your custom field.
    Cheers,

  • Error while uploading .xml file for Customer/Vendor List for Italy

    Hi All,
    We are facing problem while uploading the .xml file in DMEE transaction for the new Customer/Vendor List for Italy.
    We have followed the entire process given in the OSS Note(1090857).
    We have SAP 4.6c and followed the below steps:
    1. Created ID-FI-IT Development class
    2. Added domains
    3. Added Data elements
    4. Tried to upload the given .xml file and got any error saying ".xml file could not be interpreted".
    Also there is a .SAR file mentioned to upload if we receive any errors while uploading .xml file.
    Tried uploading the .SAR file also. STill we are recieving the same Error.
    Can any one of you help us out.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Ramesh

    Ok, we upload .SAR file in this way:
    1. unpack .SAR file with SAPCAR.EXE program. Yuo obtain 2 files
    R492445.P9C and K492445.P9C
    2. put K492445.P9C in directory \SAPMNT\TRANS\COFILES and put R492445.P9C in directory \SAPMNT\TRANS\DATA of your system (DEV, TST or PRD)
    3. Use Tx STMS. If You want create DMEE tree in DEV system, go to DEV import queue. Choose menu Extras | Other requests | Add. Insert P9CK492445 in Transp. request field.
    4. Import the request. This creates the DMEE tree. You don't need ti upload XML file after. You can see the DMEE tree created with Tx DMEE and inserting
    Tree type        UMS1            
    Format tree     IT_CUST_VEN_LIST
    5. after continue follow the note
    I hope this help you

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.

  • How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

    How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

    Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
    I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you?  Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list?  No - there's no such function.  You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns.  Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
    To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this.  You'd have to enter those links manually.
