Korg Padkontrol and making real-sounding drum beats

I just watched this rather eye-opening video demonstrating a little of what the PadKontrol can do. I feel like I'm going off the deep end though. The PadKontrol looks cool and glows in the dark, but I really only want to make authentic sounding beats, like something you'd hear in a Beatles or Elliott Smith song. The PadKontrol looks enticing but it seems sort of overkill. However, doing fills (and particularly rolls)on a midi keyboard just doesn't seem right. Maybe the PadKontrol isn't the answer, but I am looking for some kind of interface to make things easier.
Anyone making non-techno, non-hip-hop beats on the PadKontrol? (Heck, I might just start doing that kind of music just to use the PadKontrol. The thing looks fun.)
BTW, here's the link to that video I mentioned.

I realize that this isn't a video of the padKontrol, but still...

Macbook Pro is crashing and making alarm sound

Dear all,
lately my Macbook Pro is crashing on a regular basis (once a week) and making this crazy alarm sound. I posted a video of at at youtube. Has anybody an idea what is going on? My first idea was heat, but the CPU is not getting hot at all.

Cheers & thanks!

i am not sure but beside the alarm sound issue your video is also not working correctly i think its logic board issue because of the alarm sound and graphics issue, my recommendation is to call apple authorized service center for checking it i think your first one year warranty expired do you have apple care for your laptop?
good luck
keep us posted

Sampling and playing real sounds.

Question: I wish to record a sound (definite pitch, say a glass bowl being stroked), then feed the sound into Logic Pro 9 and play it like any other MIDI instrument on my keyboard. Is this possible? If so, how?

Use the EXS24 that came with Logic. It's a sampler instrument and that's pretty much what it's for in my opinion.

Ipod video pausing and making strange sounds

I have a 30Gb Ipod classic. When I get to a certain point in a video, the video will stop playing and start immiting a sharp, high-pitched sound, almost like brakes make when they're grinding. If i skip ast that point, I have no problems.
Does anyone know what I should do?

Hi,
This has been a HUGE issue as of late with people and such as myself. The only thing that worked for me so far is to bring it to an apple store to the mac genius and they have to restart and reinstall the fireware in your ipod. So i strong reccomend you doing this so you dont get so frustrated like i did.

Keyboard start typing and make "Funk" sound by itself after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, whenever I press the Home key (↖︎) OS X starts typing "~6" characters in Terminal and making the sound called "Funk".
Also this happens after wake up and power up and randomly.
On the login screen it always start making the "Funk" sound like crazy.
I did reset keyboard shortcuts, removed and closed running programs, changed keyboard layouts, reset SMC and PRAM, but I can't stop it happening. I can induce it by pressing the Home key in terminal and wake up from sleep, but other cases I don't know what causes this. The problem appear just randomly even when I'm using the computer or not...
This is driving me crazy.

This helped me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21185411#21185411 (Probably)
Restarting, sleep mode, shut down doesn't seem to have any effect. I plugged out, plugged in, the problem still occured. I restarted, and put it in a different USB port and seems to be solved now.

UltraBeat and Korg PadKONTROL

First, Happy New Year!!!
I am trying to control UtraBeat with my Korg padKontrol.
I currently am getting the pads set up the way I want. However, anytime I try to get the 2 knobs or XY to control anything, like pitch or decay, I am not getting anywhere.
The PadKONTROL has assign buttons for the XY pad and 2 knobs. Then it has 8 pads that I can touch plus these mentioned assign buttons to change the XY pad or knobs to 8 different control settings, like pitch, decay, volume, pan, and so on... I want these to work on each selected voice in Ultrabeat individually. Does the settings on Ultrabeats midi controller assignments A, B, C, & D work on a voice per voice basis?
Some of what follows is PadKONTROL jive for any here using it, but Ultrbeat pros, please read on as well:)
On the PadKONTROL I will touch KNOB 1 ASSIGN + <PITCH>. Then in Ultrabeat I will set MIDI CONTROLLER ASSIGNMENT A to PITCH. Then, select ASSIGNMENT A's LEARN function. Then turn KNOB 1 on the padKONTROL and Logic recognizes it and seems to accept it. However when I select the correct voice in UltraBeat, trigger it and turn the knob on the PadKONTROL... I don't see or hear any pitch changes.
Maybe this lies somewhere in Logic's environment (still a noob at that). Maybe I need to assign a specific note to the knobs for UltraBeat to use it as I want. (I haven't located the documentation on this if there was any.)
Does anyone have any insight on using them together as I am trying to do.
THANKS!!

Which drum instrument are you triggering with padKontrol?
I assume you've selected whichever it is on an instrument track's input, and that same tracks output is 1-2.
All you need do now is to create a Scene which maps pK's triggers to the instrument, or use one of the default Scenes which most closely matches your instrument, such as DFH or BFD or use one of the GM Scenes - 7 or 8 I think - and that should get you started. Just hold down the scene button and press 7, for example.
I recently purchased a Korg padKontrol MIDI studio controller to use as a drum machine
At the risk of telling you something you already know, you do know that padKontrol in itself doesn't create sounds? It just triggers an instrument installed within Logic.

Why do I have a continuous drum beating sound ?

One thing that us bugging me every now and then is the *_continuous drum beating sound_* ? It happen when I tried to click on the orange circle on the top right in the Safari window to make it go down to the dock. Or when I open up the preference window.
Sometimes when encounter with this, I took out the USB mouse or keyboard & then put them back and the sound dissappear. I used to think the Operating System was warning me of loose connection.
But now it even after disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse & keyboard, the *_continuous drum beating sound_* persists.
What is the cause of the *_continuous drum beating sound_* ?
Any idea how to solve this problem ?
Thanks

Hi Ryan,
Not to worry. Those little alert sounds generally mean that you have asked the computer to do something that it can't do, or that is improper for it to do.
More often than not, you'll see that you just pushed the wrong button or key or something silly like that. If you do something incredibly dumb, you'll know about it. You'll see a dialog box, or your computer will cease to work properly.
Are you hearing the alert time after time even when you are not touching the keyboard or mouse? Or are you clicking on something many times in a row and hearing the alert?
Try repairing permissions and check your hard drive through Disc Utility in the Utilities folder. If no problems are found, GOOD! If problems are found, you can boot your computer from the install disc that came with it. When you see the screen asking you to select a language, do that. On the next screen, do not proceed with the installation. Instead, look up in the menu bar for Utilities. From there, run the Disc Utility again, but tell it to repair the disc. Sometimes, you have to run Disc Utility several times to clear up some problems.
Having said that, if you are indeed having operational problems with your computer, come back and tell us what they are, OK?

My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound. It does it at least once a day. I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup. Help! This is so annoying.

My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound. It does this at least once a day. It started about a month ago. Anyone got any ideas?

Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day. I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc. I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there. Will repost if that has any efect.

IPad is not making any sounds except for itunes, Pandora and Netflix. Need help.

From one day to another the iPad is not making any sounds (lock, keyboard, games) except for music on iTunes, Pandora and video on Netflix. All sounds are activated on the iPad's general settings. I have synced it and updated the OS to no avail. Any help or suggestions is gratly appreciated.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?

The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option. The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
You might run an Apple Hardware Test:

This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.
Ciao.

Blue Yeti and Korg PadKontrol together

It's good to see that GB recognises Yeti as a stereo mic and that my Korg PadKontrol works like a dream with very low latency...however, I decided to push my luck and boot up GB with both the Yeti & Korg plugged into the powered USB hub.
GB didn't like this one bit! Both Yeti & Korg lit up but the app became unresponsive and then the ipad crashed completely (I thought I'd bricked it!)
So my question is: Has anyone managed to have more than one usb device spliced into GB via the HUB?
I know that you can only have one armed track at the moment and so don't really need to have multiple input devices attached at the same time. However, it would be really cool to not have to be pulling cables in and out every time you want to change instruments.
I know I'm asking a lot from this amazing little app but I am sure that it will evolve rapidly and become the number one portable DAW for years to come.

A few things to check. Make sure each track is assigned to the correct mic. Make sure the yeti is working by tapping on it to see if the track meter responds. Make sure you don't have any effects on the track. Make sure your aggregate mic settings are correct in the Audio Midi setup utility.

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing and making little clicking noises. Any ideas?

When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?

Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.

My MacBook Pro early 2011 is making hiss sounds on and off!? help!

My Macbook is making weird sounds =/ It's coming from the back left concer! HELP!

Not much of a description of the sounds, but if I were to guess it could be a fan issue.
Take to the Apple Genius bar, they will diagnose it for free and tell you how much to repair.
If you have Apple Care it will be free.
