How to hear midi keyboard in Logic Pro 9?

Hi folks,
I'm a bit new to this, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm trying to use my midi keyboard in conjunction with Logic Pro 9. So far I have connected my keyboard's midi output to my Komplete 6 interface (which is connected to Logic). Logic is clearly picking up whatever I'm doing on the keyboard - I just can't hear it back. I'm guessing there is probably a very simple solution that I am stupidly not realising ...
Would one of you brilliant people mind helping a novice like me?
Thank you!

  • Help needed in connecting two midi keyboards to Logic Pro.

    Hey there, I would like to connect two midi keyboards to Logic Pro and enable each keyboard to trigger separate software instruments each. For example, one keyboard has guitar and the other has strings.
    I realise this must have something to do with midi channels or ports, however my knowledge is limited.
    At current, I just have the two keyboards connected via usb straight to the computer. Is it possible I need a multi input or output interface, so that Logic can recognise different ports, or channels? Perhaps there is simply something I need to do in Logic itself? the keyboards are basic M-Audio midi controllers, just a usb port - thats it, no other connections. Any help would be great, Brad.

    Hey Brad,
    yes you need also to change the out midi of the keyboards.
    in my case I have the Keysation 61 es, it's done this way:
    "Channel
    MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI Channels. However, certain MIDI devices and MIDI software applications require
    the keyboard to send data on a specified channel. If this is the case, you can change the channel the data is sent using the following
    method:
    < Press the Advanced Functions button to engage Edit Mode.
    < Press one of the 16 Channel keys from D1 to E3, according to the Channel that you need.
    For example, if a device specifies that you need to send data on Channel 10, press the Advanced Functions button, and then key F2 to select
    Channel 10.
    The Channel can also be assigned to the Octave “+” and “-” buttons. Once assigned, pressing “+” or “-” will increase or decrease the channel
    incrementally. When Channel 16 is reached and “+” is pressed, Channel 1 will be selected. If the Octave “+” and “-” keys are selected to vary
    the Channel, the lights above the buttons will not change, since it is not possible to have a Channel with a negative value. Pressing both the
    “+” and “-” buttons together will recall Channel 1."
    Can you please tell me what keyboards do you have?
    this is for two players having a go on completely 2 different parts.
    In case you want to record 2 tracks with the same content say a piano and a pad,
    all you need to do is open the tracks and rec enable both and you have piano pad.
    Anyway I believe you need to have two separate sounds for two players?
    Give us some more input of what you want, there must have one or more solutions to what you need.
    Cheers mate,

  • Can't hear midi keyboard

    i plugged my midi keyboard into logic express just like i did in garageband. i can see the notes but i cant hear them! how do i fix this? i've tried everything i can think of and i didnt find it in the manual. i wan't to lay down some drum beats and stuff but it wont let me do it manually w/ my keyboard. please help me!

    Mike,
    You may want to run the Setup Assistant. That helped me out when starting. Do this by:
    Logic Pro>Preferences>Start Logic Setup Assistant
    If you have done this already, be sure you have selected the correct Audio Driver. To check this go to:
    Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio
    Then click the "Drivers" tab. Make sure "Built in" is selected in the Driver drop down menu, if you want playback to go to the laptop speakers.
    If all of this is correct, be sure that you have an "Audio Instrument" selected in the track you see the MIDI notes. To do this:
    1) Locate an "Audio Instrument" track. Usually called something like "Inst 1".
    2) Click on the Audio Instrument track in the Arrange. A fadder should appear on the left hand side of the Arrange. If it does not try typing "P" or going to the local menu and click View>Parameters
    3) in the Input slot of the Audio Instument track's fader, click and hold the top slot (just below I/O) follow the menus to:
    Stereo>Logic>EFM1
    4) Now play your MIDI keyboard and see if it plays back.
    Hope this is helpful,

    Hi
    Try this in a new empty project:
    In the New Tracks box select a software instrument track, and un-check the Open Library box
    You will see a track plus the channel in the Mixer
    Click on the Input  "Inst" button, and you will see a menu like this
    Correctly installed 3rd party 64bit AU plugins will be in the AU Instruments sub-menu.

  • How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8?

    How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8? I can't find it! even in the User Manuel!
    Also, where can we setup the monitor number like we used to set '2 monitor ' in Logic Pro 7's setup assistant
    Thanks!

    I've been using Logic on two monitors for years. Screensets extend over all the monitors your computer sees, you can position windows on one, or the other, or size them to fit over both, so you can happily have for instance an arrange window on one monitor, and a mixer window on the other monitor, or stretch a giant arrange window over both...

  • How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
    Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of.

  • How do I delete locators in Logic Pro 8?

    Hi there,
    How do I delete locators in Logic Pro 8?
    It seems I created them mistakenly, now I cannot delete them.  I don't want to use them and
    I don't need to cycle anything.  I'm trying to set markers accurately to timecode on a video,
    but it seems the locators are preventing me from doing so?!!  I'm trying to match accurately
    to the timecode frame and when I reach the unwanted locator it prevents me from moving
    up a frame to the frame I want.
    Thanks
    Simon

    You can easily move locaters by dragging them. You disable them by turning off cycle mode in the transport bar. They are always there but when disabled should not be a problem.

  • Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben

    Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben. Dies passiert auch, wenn ich keine Änderungen im Midi-File vorgenommen habe. Bei Qmidi kann ich die Schriftarten / Einstellung " Western ( ISO Latin 1 ) " eingeben und diese Buchstaben werden korrekt erkannt. Es muss daran liegen, was Logic Pro aus dem Midi-File macht.
    vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe im voraus
    I use Logic Pro to edit midi files. Unprocessed Midi-Files reproduced from the programm "Qmidi" with German letters ä, ö, ü ß. Once I have edited the midi-file with logic-Pro are not correctly play back the letters. This also happens when I have not made any changes in the midi file. In Qmidi I can the font / setting "Western (ISO Latin 1)" and enter these characters are correctly recognized. It must be because what makes Logic Pro from the midi file.
    Thank you for your help in advance

  • Is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?

    is anyone using the novation impulse keyboard with Logic pro x?
    I currently have an M-Audio Axium controller but I cannot map any of the controllers.
    I need to buy a 25 key controller anyway so I was hoping to get one that works well with Logic Pro X

    I have the Logitech S530 keyboard and mouse. I had no problems with it while I was using it with 2 PowerMac G5 and one Dell XPS, but when I got the MacPro I found that it doesn't work with MacPro and a KVM switch. Logitech says their keyboard and mice are NOT made to work with KVM switches, but I didn't find that until I started using it with the Mac Pro.
    The other small con is that the mouse is made for right handed people. On the other hand, I love the looks and feel of the keyboard and all the keys. It also will do the boot up holding down the Option key for choosing your startup drive and holding down the Shift key for Safe Mode, which the Kensington keyboard will not do.

  • How to use my TS 12 Ensoniq keyboard with Logic Pro X

    I just got Logic Pro X but I have no idea how to use my midi keyboard. I have a midi to usb cable running between my TS-12 Ensoniq keyboard. How do I set up the drivers or really just get it all to work. I'm a noob to the hardware stuff though I'm quiet fimilar with Logic 9. Help would be great asap!

    So I guess it can make the sound of one hand clapping?
    Anyway...
    Does the USB-MIDI cable need drivers? What brand is it? There are some cheap ones floating around ebay that don't work properly with all hardware. Assuming you've got a working one that needs no drivers, all you need to do is plug it in, the OS and Logic should detect it automatically. In Audio MIDI Setup (MIDI page) you can check if your Mac indeed recognizes the MIDI interface. It will not show the TS12 itself, just the MIDI interface.
    You can find Audio MIDI Setup in Applications>Utilities.

  • How do I use my external MIDI keyboard with Logic 7 and create MIDI data?

    I have a Yamaha UX16 cord that goes from the MIDI IN & OUT of my keyboard to a USB jack to plug in my Mac. But I don't know how to set it up so I can record myself playing the keyboard via MIDI and then later switch the sound or instrument in the track.

    Hi,
    You need to set up your keyboard inside a utility ap. called Audio Midi Setup.
    You find it here:
    Applications / Utilities / Audio Midi Setup.app
    Inside this application you should see your Yamaha UX16 as an interface with ports along the bottom of it. Create a new device and name it whatever your keyboard is named, and cable it to and from the Yamaha UX16.
    If you do not see the Yamaha UX16, you need to install it's drivers. Consult your manual / the Yamaha website for details on this.
    Once this is accomplished, you will then see the keyboard inside Logic, as a Midi input.
    Dont' forget to read this document, to enlighten you as to how Logic works, as it is very different that Garageband:

  • How can I use my Dx7 as a MIDI controller for Logic Pro  9? I'm using MIDI/USB cable but Dx7 doesn't appear in the 'set-up' list, what am I doing wrong?

    I'm using Logic Pro 9 -  9.1.8
    MacBook Pro Retina OSX 10.9.3
    DX7 2 FD connected to my laptop with a MIDI/USB cable
    When I click the 'scan all models' search in the 'Control Surfaces Set Up' there is no Yamaha DX7 in the list so how can I make Logic 'see' the DX7?

    As Colin pointed out, you have to look first in the Audio MIDI Setup. If your MIDI Device doesn't show up there, then Logic cannot see it either (unless you are using Logic Remote on your iPad to play over Wi-Fi).
    I'm curious about the "MIDI/USB cable you mention. If the DX7 has a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI out jack, then you have to connect that to a MIDI Interface first that converts the MIDI signal to send it over the USB jack out. Please note that you would see the MIDI Interface in the Audio MIDI Setup  app and not the DX7 itself. Also, in Logic you would see the MIDI Interface in the Environment as a valid MIDI input device.
    Hope that helps
