Logic 8 and Motif XS - new to it

So I have made a few beats on my motif xs, and now I want to edit them in Logic 8 which I just recently got. I have messed around a bit and searched around online but can't really get anywhere.
This is what I'm trying to do:
-Take my song, from pattern mode, and have it sync to logic via usb to my mac. It seems the midi ports are recognized, but each track has weird symbols instead of the actual names of the instruments on the motif.
Basically, you know how you can edit on the song on the motif (kind of tedious wiht small screen to cut and paste/move/copy, etc...) - I want all that sound info (waves, each tracks- entire song) to appear in logic so that I can edit the song on the computer. Is this possible?
I have never used logic before, and am fairly new to creating songs on motif- but, I changed the setting utility>remote>DAW type> Logic, and it still isn't helping me.
I am obviously missing something. Because I am new at the motif, editing on pattern mode seems hard and not that efficient. For this reason, I want to pull up my song on Logic, as it is on the Motif, but when its on my computer it will be easier to move stuff around/cop/cut/paste/add effects, etc...
Anyone know of any resources that may help me or have any advice?
Thanks...

ok, so I have logic setup just as you said, and my motif to send MTC out, and with all external midi tracks enabled to record, I push play on my motif.... what happens is I get my track playing on the motif (with all my instruments changed, I guess it is somehow playing instruments form Logic, which doesnt make sense because nothing is synced, and I don't have Logic set to MIDI out its patches) and thats just on the earphones ho0oked up to my keyboard.. on logic, I get no sign of anything recording, and if you turn up the volume it just sounds like whale noises (seriously)
Here is something to note though.. when I quit logic, and turn off my keyboard, I reboot both of the them, and then as soon as logic opens (with usb to motif) in the main arrange screen under "global tracks", there are 2 tracks there.. 1 says "øˇ€∞$ÑB" (which is the jibberish it is reading from motif) and the other is "audio 1" (from garage band?) this is before I setup all the other stuff (external midi tracks and settings in logic)
I really don't understand... From your help Donald, it looks like I should be able to create 7 external midi tracks in logic, have them record enabled, and then push play and motif, and then each of my tracks would just start recording in realtime on my computer? this would be great, but it is not what is happening...
On the left side, I can choose which port to take from the motif (1 thru 4) and I have 1 selected... and also channel 1
I'm still messing around with it and trying different settings... but if anyone has a clue as to what I may be doing wrong, please help....
thanks

Logic 8 and Motif Rack ES setups, pls tell me how to?

Studio manager setup window, i read the manual i didn't understand. See my remote SL keyboard, is there anything with that? Please tell me how to set them in setup window.
Until now i use Motif rack es and my XV- 5050 with instrument list in Sonar. That was so easy to reach every sound through patch list provided cakewalknet.com
Those pictures for Studio manager, i have installed Voice Editor too.. Can you tell me steps so i can understand how things turning. I am new to mac and logic platform. I need to setup things first so i can discover slowly later...

I am answering to my question, as Studio Manager help file: Only Midi ports selected in the host applications midi setup can be selected in the "editor setup" Confirm the ports selected in the host application.
So right now i am happy with Yamaha Motif, i can edit multi and save. Because Logic PRO doesn't support OPT (open plug technology) i have to transfer multi settings every time i want to open that song. No big deal.
But for my XV- 5050 i need to record sysex data into Logic. I couldn't find how. Maybe you can tell me where and how to writte this kind of numbers:
F0 41 10 00 10 12 01 00 00 09 62 14 F7
Or i didn't understand what i have to do...

New logic board, and new display, but now completely dead.

Hi guys,
I've got an iBook G3, running 10.3.9.
In December 2006, the logic board failed, so I bought a MacBook, because I didn't have time to be offline waiting weeks for Apple to replace the iBook's logic board.
After much badgering, Apple reluctantly replaced the iBook's logic board under the extended warranty program.
While the iBook was with the Apple repair store, they replaced the display for new as well, even though I didn't ask them to, and even though I wasn't charged for it.
I presume that was because the store discovered that the display was duff enough to be replaced under another extended warranty program.
When I got the "repaired" unit home, with a brand new logic board, and a brand new display, I turned it on, and it seemed to be working fine, so I turned it off, and continued to use my MacBook.
A few weeks ago, the second logic board on my MacBook failed (another long horror story entirely), so I began using the iBook for the first time since it had been "repaired" some six months earlier.
Almost immediately, the iBook began exhibiting a major problem, specifically that I'd be typing away, and suddenly the display would go black.
I could just about see the icons and documents on the screen, but the unit was unusable.
So I pulled restarts, full shutdowns, disk utility, zapped the PRAM, etc, all to no avail.
It seemed to be an intermittent problem.
For example, sometimes, from a cold start, the unit would work for two or three hours until the display went black.
Other times, I'd pull a cold start, and it would go straight to the black display.
By chance, I discovered that if I gave the iBook a shake, the display would come back on.
But then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on for a second or two.
And then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on, sometimes for a couple of hours at a time.
So I figured that it must be a cable which, during the installation of the logic board, and/or the new display, wasn't seated correctly by the technician.
I phoned Apple, and told them about it.
They said that because I had reported the issue beyond 90 days since the logic board had been replaced, it was no longer Apple's problem.
I explained to Apple that I hadn't used the iBook for six months, because I had a MacBook.
After much badgering, Apple has agreed to replace the logic board if it's faulty.
However, Apple has refused to replace the NEW display, even if that's also faulty.
Apple is also insisting that I have to pay all the labor charges.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that the iBook is now incredibly hot.
I mean, the MacBook is infamous for running hot, but this "repaired" iBook makes my MacBook feel like a block of ice by comparison.
I don't remember the iBook running so extremely hot before the "repair."
Which has made me notice that during the last few weeks, I've never heard the iBook's fan come on.
I presume that an iBook has a fan ?
Please confirm.
Therefore, another loose cable ?
Today, the display went black again, as usual.
So I gave the iBook a shake.
But this time, nothing happened.
No display.
No fan.
No hard drive spinning.
Just silent and dead.
What do you reckon, guys ?
Duff logic board ?
And/or duff display ?
And/or duff fan ?
And/or duff cabling by the technician ?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't see why I should have to pay for yet another repair, to correct hardware and/or workmanship which was so bad that after only three weeks of ACTUAL use since the "repair", the unit is now completely dead.
All opinions and advice gratefully received.
With thanks and best wishes,

Hi S,
Many thanks for your helpful and swift response.
I agree with you regarding the likelihood that these problems would have surfaced immediately during normal usage, regardless of how much or little time had passed since the repair.
As advised, I will inform Apple Customer Relations UK about the new developments.
Indeed, when I resubmit the iBook, I'll include a print-out of this discussion.
I agree with you about the fan.
Prior to the failure of the first logic board, I ran that iBook for YEARS, without noticing any heat issue.
Indeed, if there had been such incredible heat, then I'd have searched these discussion boards, and reported it to Apple HQ.
Therefore, the astonishing heat is definitely a new development since the "repair."
Consequently, I take on board your comments about the lack of a working fan since the "repair", which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
As for running the Apple Hardware Test, the unit is completely dead.
The power cable is green, but the unit is now completely silent and black.
I also note your suggestions regarding the cable which connects the display to the rest of the unit, which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
No repair sheet was ever given to me by the Apple Repair Centre (ARC).
Indeed, no receipt was ever given to me when I delivered the unit to the ARC, nor was any paperwork ever given to me when I collected the unit from the ARC.
However, Apple HQ can see on their screen that the logic board and display were both replaced for new by the ARC.
What else was and wasn't done by the ARC is a mystery.
I'll phone the ARC and ask for copies of any and all paperwork, so that I can submit it all to Apple HQ, which I note is your recommended option, rather than returning the unit to the ARC.
However, the complicating factor is that with the exception of the logic board, it is my understanding that Apple is denying any liability on any part of the "repaired" unit, including the brand new display.
If I understand Apple HQ correctly, they're now saying that all other hardware and labor costs will be mine.
I'm sure I could buy a WORKING second-hand iBook G3 for the same price as a repair, if not cheaper.
Therefore, perhaps I should return the unit to the ARC, and give them the opportunity to correct their previous workmanship, at their OWN cost.
Because as far as I'm concerned, the ARC had two customers during the repair: Apple and the end-user, as evidenced by the fact that the ARC has invoiced its first customer Apple for workmanship which was clearly not up to Apple's own standards, and the ARC has then delivered the unit to its second customer, the end-user.
In addition, regardless of Apple's 90 day warranty on repaired hardware, UK law includes the Sale of Goods Act 1979, and other relevant legislation: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html
Furthermore, if the ARC is completely unhelpful, I could jump all over them, by writing to Apple HQ, with cc's to the UK editions of MacWorld, MacFormat, and MacUser magazines.
As advised, if the unit goes to Apple HQ, I will suggest that the unit is looked at carefully during disassembly, to see if errors were made during the ARC "repair."
I'm always polite when on the phone to Apple, because I love the company so much.
Indeed, even though during the last twelve months, I've been having very bad luck with the iBook, as well as with a MacBook which has exhibited so many problems that Apple has now agreed to replace old for new, I still love my Mac.
And joy, sweet joy, I've just seen on the TNT courier's tracker website, that my replacement MacBook, built by Apple in Singapore, then flown to Arnhem in Germany, then flown to Northampton UK, then delivered to Heathrow UK, left the Heathrow depot 30 minutes ago, for delivery to the customer.
And the sun is shining.
Thank you again for all your kind and wise advice.
With best wishes,
Michael

New logic board and now i-tunes music store and i-disk not able to connect

Hi,
My poor MBP died a few weeks ago - the Logic board went and took the Apple RAM with it (the Crucial one stayed fine!). As it's only six months old it has been fixed under warranty. However....
I've just tried to play some purchased music from i-tunes. It says no. It's also unable to connect to the store and attempts to connect or sign-in are refused. (An unknown error 11333). I trashed the old one, preferences and all and installed the lasted 7.4 but the same problem.
I-disk in System Preferences is also refusing to accept my password and connect even though I can go to it it via Go in Finder.
When I type in my password in System Prefences it says "Keychain not found: Keychain "login" cannot be found to store '******'"
I can see something of a pattern here but have no idea how to fix this.
Any help appreciated.

Open the Keychain Access in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and create a new keychain, giving it the name login.

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Our Band purchased Logic Pro and it was loaded to one member's Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, he passed away with cancer in May. How can we transfer the ownership and the software (it was downloaded) to a new user's Macbook?

Hi Kurt,
The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck.
I think it's best that take this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 13". I have a new logic board and have searched for the spec on this i.e. hdd size and ram. will my 2009 screen work with a updated graphics card ??

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

6-month old Mac Pro has already had a new logic board and power supply

At a cost of $400 in shipping and a one-month wait, my 5-month old Mac Pro got a new power supply and logic board
Now I keep getting kernel panics, runaway kernel_task in Activity Monitor, and corrupted boot drives
External Firewire drives work some of the time, and occasionally my USB devices dont work either
This computer is a nightmare - how do I begin to figure out if this is OS (10.6.4) or hardware related?
The extended AHT test reports that all is OK - as does an extended memory test using Applejack
Should I do firmware updates and re-install the 10.6.4 combo pack, or am I just wasting more of my time?
I've got 4 macs and this is the only one that works badly - I think Apple's OS updates are getting as bad as Windows updates

My first question is why you spent $400 to get a 5 month old system fixed. That should have been covered under the warranty. So someone ripped you off, or you left out some key details.
And if you had both the logic board and PSU replaced, did you ever stop to think that maybe the problem lies with the power coming into your house? It's not really the big power spikes or blackouts you need to worry about, since those are pretty rare. What you need to worry about are the small fluctuations in voltage that happen several hundred times a day, if not an hour. Sometimes there's not quite enough power, other times there's a little too much, and all of this takes a steady toll on the PSU. It will do what it can to try and feed the rest of the computer a steady diet of electricity, but sometimes a jolt will get past it and start damaging other components. It could even cause data corruption on your HDD.
If the PSU and logic board already went, who knows what damage it may have caused to anything else. It may just be taking longer to show up.
It might also be that whomever ripped you off to the tune of $400 simply traded you one defective logic board for another. Or maybe they don't really know how to protect against ESD. I once saw a repair shop where the techs smoked in the same room they did the repairs. Sadly, for every one good tech out there, there's probably at least 3 complete idiots. Kind of like auto mechanics.
And I never have problems with Windows or Apple updates. Seems like on Windows the majority of people who have problems with updates are either running some program designed to change the way Windows looks or messes with low level system files, or they have a malware infestation they were unaware of/oblivious to. Most of the people who have problems with Apple updates seem to be the same way. They're running some truly bizarre programs that mess with the system in ways programs were not intended to mess with the system. There's generally a reason OS vendors provide an API for developers. You deviate from that at your own peril.

Without the serial number your FCE disc is useless and nobody here can help.
Your only chance, if you have the receipt or can prove your purchase is to contact Apple and hope they may be able to help.

Logical Channels and Opening An Application

Hello,
Upon sending an APDU to a Java Card (a GEM card) to open a channel, it works fine. But when I try to select an application on that new logical channel which is in the secured state, it always gives back an error, but I can select that same application from the basic channel. Do I need to do something else besides simply opening the new logical channel to let it be able to select applications in the secured state?
Thanks,
Mizax

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
Yes I'm sure the card supports multiple logical channels, I've checked the historical bytes, and am able to open the number of logical channels the historical bytes say I should.
I can select other applications on the new logical channel and send commands to them, that works fine. When selecting a secured application, it fails with error code. In particular, I'm trying to select the card manage application, and that fails. Although this shouldn't be necessary, I make sure the basic channel doesn't have the card manager selected also:
Log:
Warm Reset Card
Open Logical Channel 1
Command: 00 70 00 01
Response: 90 00
Select some other App on the Basic Channel:
Command: 00 A4 04 00 0F A0 00 00 00 18 50 21 00 00 00 00 00 57 49 42
Response: 90 00
Select card manager on Channel 1:
Command: 01 A4 04 00 07 A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D
Response: 6E 00
To sum up: Open a new logical channel, select some other app on the basic channel, try to select the card manager on the new logical channel, it fails. If I then reselect the card manager on the basic channel, it works fine. I can select other non-secured apps on the new logical channel, and that works fine too. In any of the cases I mention, I ensure that only one channel is trying to select an app, so that I'm not worrying about the issue of whether an app is multi-selectable.
I've been wrestling and googling this for hours with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mizax

Logical System and Client copy

Hi Gurus ,
             I just now finished ECC 6.0 successfully , I want to take the client copy . But i hacve one doubt , In client creation one TAB logical system is there , Kindly advice me how to create Logical system and steps .

Selvan

Hi Manjula ,
              Below i mentioned the full detail about the error .
    RFC destination for client copy in systems with Financials Basis     (FINBASIS) component.
The system could not find any suitable RFC destination for processing     for client 000.     This note also appears if an RFC destination was found but this does not     work.     o   RFC destination: FINBTR@ID3CLNT000     o   Error text: Error during the retrieval of the logon data     Proceed as follows to eliminate this error:
1. Start the wizard to create a new RFC connection     or perform the following steps manually:     1. Create an RFC destination with the target ZK>source client of client         copy (in this case 000).
2. Check whether the RFC destination works in transaction SM59.         To avoid errors when assigning the password or the authorizations of         the RFC user, use the authorization test Test -> Authorization.
3. Enter the RFC destination:         -   Transaction: FINB_TR_DEST (Destinations for Transport Methods of             the Financials Basis)         -   Client: 000
4. Start the client copy again.
Kindly advice me

What is wrong with logics timing and playback and midi

hi all,
i recently bought logic x and there seems to be a lot of problems im having. first off i noticed that when i am editing whilst looping what im working on it doesn't allways register my changes untill i stop and play again. this is especially true when making fades. it makes it very awkward to make changes in realtime and slows me down a lot. is this a new feature of logic lol or is this a problem with previous logics aswell. is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know if apple are working to fix this? its not my computer as its hi spec 12 core. running 10.8.5.
next problem im having is nothing short of insane. i have my mbase 11 being triggered by midi in logic and playing through an audio channel in logic from my apogee duet. this works fine but only when audio track is selected which is annoying. trouble im having though is when i select another track it seems the midi for the mbase is doing something to the selected track. either triggering extra notes or delaying and playing extra notes. im not sure but it is mental and it means i have to open up the fx i want to edit and then deselect the track. anyone have any ideas if this is something i can fix or if apple know ect?
thanks for reading, any help would be most appreciated

Fades can't be edited in real time, Logic creates a fade file after you edited the region, then you press start and voila, it's always been like that.

Mid 2009 applecare logic board and battery ADVICE

returning mac OS and mac hardware buyer here.
i have been questioning (read complaining) about the battery life (1 1/2 hours on safari) and the performance (spinning beachballs on startup, on wake and on starting safari among other things) since i bought this machine. i brought it in for the umpteenth time to the genius bar (they apparently only have 3 of these on record?!) because i had a break and i have a "service battery" alert.
i am being told i can replace the battery and the logic board based upon their diagnostics of the machine and i have FINALLY (Whoo-HOOO yippeee kayeeee'y!!) got a committment from a mac rep that i should be expecting 3 1/2 - 4 hours out of the battery and not 1 1/2 hours.
i don't really have an option here from everything i can tell but does anyone have any advice for me on this? warranty is up in February and from what i am being told i can bring it back if i bring it home and still only get poor battery life.
at the same time i am really unhappy (insert expletive) about having spent so much time troubleshooting this machine only to be told that the hardware seems fine or that the battery tests normal or whatever. this macbook pro 13 inch seems like it was a dog since the day i bought it.
my preference would REALLYT be to trade into mac on a new macbook pro 15" and i am wondering if i am instead i am going to have to just repair this machine (thank my lucky stars that i buy applecare) and empirically test the machine on my end to make sure that i am getting more than 2 hours per charge and that i don't have the spinning beachballs that i have had to have dealt with over the last 3 years...
i mean, i /have/ to fix this machine and monitor it over the next three months instead of them helping me cut bait with it by getting some financial incentive somehow to move into a new MBP is that right...?
TIA

thanks.
looks like it has now had a new battery and a new logic board and it is still failing hardware test for the battery.
they are now sending it out for additional testing to some other facility.
anyone had a similar experience?

I am trying to log on to iwork but it keeps saying that my password is incorrect. I have already reset it and entered my new password and it still is not working. what should i do?

I am trying to log on to iwork but it keeps saying that my password is incorrect. I have already reset it and entered my new password and it still is not working. what should i do?

I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.
