How to play patches from MIDI Keyboard inside Mainstage?

Can I play patches from my Midi Controller inside Mainstage?? It seems hard to believe that I am limited ONLY to virtual instruments, and cannot arrange a setlist that includes patches from my synthesizer.

if you plug the audio out of your synth into mainstage you can.

How Do I get the right patches from my keyboard into LOgic??

Please help me.
I'm a beginner of Logic.
Can someone tell me how to record the sound that I want to record
into the MIDI track??
When I click on the first track with the grand piano picture, and then play my keyboard, I dont hear
grand piano but string sound. And when i play 3rd tack (fingered bass picture) i hear different patch from my keyboard. Can someone tell me how to
lock up right bank and patches with logic?
This is so confusing. Someone told me I need to download the patch list of my keyboard to make it show up in logic the same way it's showing up in my keyboard. Without it, I'd have to type every patch list of my synth into logic bank and prgram names. How do you guys deal with this?
PLease help me. This is haunting me for a week now..
One more question..
When I press record with metronum on, I hear metronum AND some other
patch sound playing along with metronum. How can I only hear the metronum?

HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power. However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board. I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power.

I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?

In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
How can I type using the Apple Symbol font? I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

You don't. Such is not supported.

I do not see the user interface for the Logic software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but I cannot see them to adjust parameters. Please advise.

Couple of things - you can open the interface for any instrument or plug-in by double-clicking its insert slot on the channel strip. You can configure Logic to automatically open the interface for a plug-in when you first instantiate it in the preferences. Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer, and check the box for "Open plug-in window on insertion".

How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

How to access audio instruments as midi channels from midi keyboard?

Hi!
This is my first post here.
I use mostly Logic Pro 7 as a sound module with my keyboard. I have a song file in Logic that I made some time ago, where I've linked every audio instrument to a corresponding audio channel (same midi channel). All channels are in record mode, and thus every audio instrument is assigned a midi channel - and I can play different audio instruments by changing the midi channel on my midi keyboard.
Now, I want to create more tracks, so I can have more instruments to choose between. That doesn't work.. I try to make a new logic file and do the same thing with more channels, but I can't remeber how I made this work in the first place. I've been trying for hours and hours, and I'm going nuts here.
I would extremely grateful if anyone could tell me how this is done.
(No rewire/extra software is necessary.)
Thanks for reading.

Welcome!
It's fairly straightforward. On each audio instrument, assign a MIDI channel in the parameter box - so eg Audio Instrument 1 is set to MIDI channel 1, Audio Instrument 2 is set to channel 2 etc.
The key part is in your song settings "File -> Song Settings -> Recording" to make sure "Auto demix by even channel" is ticked.
Now, shift-click on the record buttons for all your audio instruments, and when you send on MIDI channel 1, you'll play the first one, switching to channel 2 you'll play the second one, and so on.
The max you can do is 16 channels at once, afaik, as the sequencer input doesn't retain port info (which is a bit of a shortcoming in my book, but there you go...)

How can I use two midi keyboards to control two different patches?

I would like to use two midi keyboards in my setup, each controlling a different patch or track.

Hi,
Follow the steps in this guide:

I made a MS patch-changer selecting ANY patch FROM MY KEYBOARD'S KEYS!

Love the Nord Electro 3, hate the sequential up-down button for patch changes, especially with up to 20 per song. Almost decided to sell it and go back to the Nord Stage I had before, sacrificing sound quality for rapid and flexible patch changing abilities, but I just made a MainStage-based patch changer for the Nord Electro 3 that can select any Nord patch from the Nord's keyboard. So Cool! Chances are I keep this beloved Nord now!!!
I've recieved so much help that I'm trying to be a giver here ....though maybe this is rookie stuff to the people here, it was a new level for me, so maybe it'll help someone....
It took a long time to figure out, but I decided finally not to worry about changing various (not sequential) MainStage patches from keyboard keys because I couldn't find a way, but just to make a way to choose NE patches WITH THE Nord's KEYS SENDING WHATEVER PROGRAM CHANGES needed to select a patch no matter where it is in the Nord -- this way I could choose any patch easily from the Nord keyboard keys instead of sequentially stepping through patches with two mapped up/down MS keys, or with the Mac's arrows, or hunting for a computer keyboard button.
I learned the bottom 8 keys of the Nord into 8 buttons in MS, then for each button mapped it to Send to All --> Nord Electro (destination) --> Program Change. Then I "mapped parameter" to whatever Program change number would select the patch where it's sitting in the Nord's patch banks. If it was PC 9 then the values would be 9 and 9. Pressing that keyboard key (F#0 in my case) while playing and having MS in Perform Mode would then switch my Nord to patch 5-B in the Electro, which is the Nord's PC9 location. It was a little tricky to figure out that I best go into the parameter graph and change the top and bottom numbers to 9, in this case. For some reason it defaults to 8 bottom and 9 top if choosing PC 9 outside the graph. It took some mousing sometime to get them the same.
Note: NO patch changer in layout, NO channel strips, JUST the keyboard and the 8 buttons. Also for some odd reason it does NOT work in Edit mode, MS has to be in Perform or Full Screen mode.
Granted, the number of patches you can choose is limited to the number of keyboard keys you want to reserve for this purpose. If I can give up more keys I might do 8 more to get 16 program-changing keys.
Anyway it's great to be able to choose whatever sound I want in the Electro 3 instantly without having to madly push an up/down button on the rig -- organ, Shodes, Mellotron, choir sample, no matter where it happens to reside in the Nord's banks. Cool!
What I couldn't figure out but might do next is to see if there's a way to use this tool, but also choose a MainStage synth patch or three from Program-changing keys without disrupting the works. I tried for a long time but couldn't find a mapping that would send something that would end up giving me a particular PC-mapoped Nord+MainStage layer -- that's probably to much. So I might default to also having a field with a patch changer window, a couple keyboard keys mapped to up/down, and just choosing up or down instead of a particular patch number or name. Dunno.
I can post or e-mail the concert if it helps anyone.

You may have to call back and tell the answering party you have an
existing open case involving a repair; tell them the 'case number' or
'incident number' assigned your initial repair by AppleCare, and say
if there is a problem, you've already paid; and 'please connect me to
the supervisor.'
A logic board issue could certainly be the cause of bizarre keyboard errors.

How to play youtube from MAC to apple tv

How do I play youtube from MAC to apple tv?

In short, you cant. Older macs dont support airplay to apple tv's due to hardware restrictions. To do so you need a mac thats around mid 2011 or newer.
However goolge Airparrot as there is a $10 app that you can purchase that enables compatabilty with older macs. I have never used it, and there are some performance issues on older machines. It will eat your processor performance and some macs may have choppy video results.
As a note the reason only newer macs are airplay compatible is because their GPU's have onboard H.264 encoding capabilties that airplay uses, whereas older macs dont so using airparrot relies on the processor to do the encoding.

How To Get A New Midi Keyboard Working On Mac 5G

Hello
i have a new midi keyboard ( Yamaha mx61 ) and an old mac 5g. Iv used a midi drum kit fine ( Yamaha DTX ) just plug in and play with garage ban. However, the keyboard want be found. The USB ( small ) from the keyboard to the USB to the computer , same as the drums and it's pick up as a standard typing keyboard.
Iv tried using the discs given but they won't work as this mac is running on10.4.11. Is there anyway to get it to work in garage band or is this to do with my mac being old.
thanks

Buying an Install Disc is the only way, it an Upgrade rather than an Update in strict terms.
10.4.x to 10.4.11 is an update, 10.4.x to 10.5.x is an upgrade.

Playing tracks from mid-way

I remember reading once that iTunes could play music from any point you chose on a particular track: especially useful for dealing with the long periods of silence that a lot of artists use as a run-in to buried tracks on CDs! Only trouble is, I can't remember where I read it and I didn't take it in sufficiently at the time to know how to do it.
Can anyone help?
iPod 20GB Windows 2000

Select the track, Right click it, select Get Info. Look through these tabs, on one of them you can set the Start and/or End points for the track.
