Logic 9 with Axiom 25 and Roland VS100 issues

Im trying to help a friend with his setup. He has :
Logic 9
MacBookPro
Roland VS100 I/O
Axiom 25 1st gen controller
Ive got him so that the VS 100 gives him the audio and transport functions. Roland US had a Controller Plugin for this that loads works in Logic/Garage Band and this is all working fine. Under Controller Setup in Logic the VS 100 shows up and the MIDI IN/OUT are both set to CONTROL.
As soon as he plugs in his AXIOM 25, the axiom will play a software a instrument just fine, however, the VS100 transport functions are now gone and the unit is basically sending out midi notes to the plugin instrument when he hits any transport buttons on the VS100. No transport control on the VS works.
The AXIOM manual says its core midi compliant and needs no driver
Also, the AXIOM will not do the transport functions either once its plugged in with or without adding it as a controller in Logic. Both the VS100 and the AXIOM show up in the AMS and show online.
I tried changing the Global midi channel on the Axiom to channel 2 and matching the same midi input channel in Logic but no dice
If we have both controllers added in the Logic setup, the Roland MIDI IN/MIDI OUT will allow us to select CONTROL and the AXIOM MIDI IN/MIDI OUT only show port 1
If we uplug the VS100, the AXIOM will then show CONTROL as an option,.
What Im thinking is that BOTH controllers are trying to take control in Logic. Is there a way to work around this in Logic so that he can use his AXIOM to play the synths and the VS100 for transport? Thats all hes wanting to do BTW, shouldnt be that complicated.
Ive been using LogMeIn to help him but I dont know what else to check here. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys

I would say I'm somewhat disappointed that with 171 views not one person has made any suggestions for this issue. Well I ended up resolving my own issue! Turns out that this issue was being caused by use of a sample rate of 192khz with my Motu Ultralite mk3. Once I dropped the sample rate down to 9600 all the distortion was gone. Now to be fair, I presently reverted back to OSX 10.5.7 for testing purposes, but it behaved exactly the same as it did in OSX 10.6.1. So my bet is all along the issue has been the high sample rate of 192 causing the problems with 3rd Party apps (Massive) etc.... Interesting, that I don't notice these distortion issues at 192 with the instruments/sounds in Logic 9. Oh well, I'm glad it is resolved, now on to making music!

Logic Pro 8 and Roland Fantom G 8

Hi there fellow musicians!
I have a great wish to control my setup using Roland Fantom G8 keyboard.
Here is what I have,what I want to do and what issues I have with it:
I have Fantom G connected to Logic 8 on my MacBook via usb,
then midi out from Fantom through standard midi cable, connected to M-Audio Audiophile USB interface on my slave PC.
I use audio routing from PC back to Logic through ethernet cable (audioport)
I would like to record Midi (played on Fantom as a masterkeyboard through usb midi) on Logic, then get the midi that's been recorded to Fantom MIDI OUT so i can play all the stuff on my PC.
Well...its supposed to be simple but **** it isn't.
I get all sort of issues with it, first of all,
how to switch between external channels of Fantom, so I would send just one channel signal to logic, not all channels.
Then I dont know how to set up the midi tracks in Logic, so they could record midi from the certain midi channel and then transmit it to my pc using midi out of my Fantom.
I tried many things really,but cant get it right.
I guess the problem lies somewhere in Fantom. What I want is just simply 16 different midi channels to go through fantom midi out to pc and also want to be able to record midi on logic using roland's usb as a midi device for the logic's midi input.
Hope I was clear enough to explain what am I struggling with and...please,please help me. You are my only hope
Cheers,
Kuba

Well i hope my explanation helps to solve you your provlem.
Firstly, Cheer up......cos ur gonna get away wid the problem wid dis........
Lets start.......
1. Install all the softwares that came with Fantom G6 ( Fantom G drivers & Fantom g editor).
2. Connect your Fantom G via usb to ur Macbook.
3. Launch Logic. It will search for all the available audio units (including FantomG).
4. Start Logic with empty project. Create a new external midi track.(I hope u kno how to create external midi track. (If not then check out Logic's manual).
5. Now at this point if everything goes well, then you may see that logic created a track named grand piano. On the right hand side you can see in library tabs that GM device first track is selected. Now u should see Fantom G there right above the GM device on the first place. Click on that & click on channel 1. Now you should see that your track name is changed to Prg 0=11.
6. If u did this much correct. you are done & you are finished with the tough part....:) cheers.
7. Now On fantom G click on studio mode. Now you are on internal mixer of fantom g. Select any instrument u wanna select..on the first channel (by default it shows G-grand) you can select any instrument.
8. Here is something important......now since you wanna record midi on Logic which is an external sequencer you will have to move to external mixer on fantom g. To do this you have to click F8 twice on fantom g. That will take you to external mixer
9. Select channel 1 on fantom g. Now go to Logic. & hit record (R)......Now you'll be able to record midi to Logic & u may see data entered in Logic's sequencer...........:)
10. Likewise you may build your song by creating new tracks just the way you created this one & selecting different songs.......
I hope this helped........
Any further problems........you're most welcome...:)

Using logic with 003+ and secondary interface

Hello, I currently have a 003 rack + (8 inputs) and a m audio pro fire (8 inputs), and I am trying to get them to work inside logic. I currently have them linked together via optical cable. I know I cannot aggregate using a 003 rack which would fix my issue, but I can only get 8 of the 16 inputs to work.
As of writing this I have not tried the output, I have not gotten that far. Is there a way to make logic understand that there is 16 inputs instead of 8? I have the core audio manager telling me that the 003 rack has 18 ( 16 in 2 out) available and that it's in the ADAT format, but anytime I try to use any input greater than 8 I get no sound.
Does anyone know how to get this to work so I can enable a total of 16 tracks to record?
I'd very much like to switch from pro tools to logic for my projects to be more versatile.
Thanks so much in advance for any answers.

I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I can't offer a solution, just want to express that I have the same requests. A simple, convenient way would be if the quick search bar would follow the same logic as in Google:
     Multiple separate keywords -> AND by default
     Multiple keywords with OR in between -> OR logic
     Multiple words in " " -> The keyword must contain of exactly those words in the same order (which is the default and only option now; unfortunately, it's the one that is required the least)
Yes, there is an advanced search option that does the trick, but as you said, it's very cumbersome to create queries there.
Something in the same direction: Bridge is powered by a MySQL database. So, why is there no way to do a search using an SQL-Query? For those people that work with SQL (and those are quite many, I suppose), this would be a dream!
I know, there is a suggestion forum as well, but posts there are never replied to.
So please, if any developper sees this, consider it for a future release.
One more thing: In the keywords panel, you can use a hierarchy, which is great to make your huge list of keywords more organized. However, in the filter panel, they are all flat and not organized by topic. Would it not be possible to apply the same hierarchy there? After all, the hierarchy IS saved in the metadata: in the XMP part of metadate, there is a field called "HierarchicalSubject" that contains this data. So why not use it??
Best regards
- spitfire
P.S. What is the best place to make suggestions to the developpers? Since the topics in the suggestion forum never get any replies, I don't think it's the right place ...

Logic Pro 8 and Roland A500

Hi all,
I am trying to configure a new Roland A500 Pro keyboard to work with Logic Pro 8.0.2 as I want to use both the midi in/out and the "remote" control of Logic via the keyboard itself.
According to all the (very poor) documentation that comes with the A500, it can do it easily.
I have installed (and uninstalled and re-installed endlessly) the drivers and control maps from Roland for my OSX with no success.
I keep getting this message ... despiste closely following the instructions???
Anyone else managed to get one working???

Shouldn't Apple recall and provide FREE replacement for MacBook Pro screens with ghosting and dead pixel issues?

Read the forum posts, Google the issue, watch the YouTube videos on the problems; they are everywhere. I purchased a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and the screen is riddled with dead pixels, white ghosting throughout, and image retention issues, all from a company that promotes the quality of the product they sell. There's no way this issue facing so many consumers shouldn't result in Apple replacing these screens for FREE.
I purchased the high-end machine for photo and video editing. Photo editing is particularly difficult when I can't tell if I have dust, dirt or colour shifts in my images or if it's just the screen overlaying these issues. I've never had so many issues with any screen I've purchased, from my Panasonic Plasma TV to my cheap ACER laptop. Please Apple, quit ignoring this issue.

Be advised that this is a user to user forum where Apple employees do not participate. You may make your thoughts known here:

My midi/audio interface Edirol PCR 1 won't work with Yosemite and Roland have no driver update. Is this the end of the line for this device.

My midi/audio interface ( Edirol PCR1) will not interface with Yosemite 10.10 and Roland have no driver update, is there any fix for the problem or is the end of the line for this device.

Same problem here, what a shame as this has been my favorite portable keyboard for ages. Whenever I see one in a store(very rarely) I'll grab it.

Synchronization problems between Logic Pro 8 and Roland's groovebox MC-909

Hi everybody,
I recently purchased a (used) Roland MC-909 and tried to synchronize it with Logic but the whole procedure seems too complicated.
Logic gets digital audio input (S/PDIF-RCA) from the MC-909 (through M-audio Fast Track Pro) and I've tried all shorts of adjustments (e.g. connecting Logic's MIDI out (through M-audio Fast Track Pro) to Roland's MIDI in port and the opposite with different master/slave setups etc.).
I can't get these two to synchronize.I suppose there is a logical solution for everything,but I'm really running out of patience...
I want to use Logic Studio to internally record Roland's (synchronized!!) audio output,avoiding sampling patterns from Roland and then transferring them to Logic (import audio file).After that,I would like to use these two combined in a live set.
I hope there are people out there having faced similar problems in the past...share any bit of useful info please..
Thanks everybody!
Mario,Greece

MIDI Out from Logic via the M-Audio interface.
In Logic's synchronization setup, be sure "Transmit MIDI Clock" is enabled and the port is selected.
In the Roland, set clock to external/slave, you may have to press play, the unit should now wait for, and sync to MIDI clock from Logic.
caveat... I don't have a Roland unit, but this way ---should--- (hate that word) work.

Is there a better way to deal with Verizon and my DSL issues?

My family and I have been with Verizon for as long as we've had broadband internet. For the past 5 years or so the internet has been shaky at best. For the most part it works, but a coupe times a year it stops working all together or becomes VERY intermittent (and is usually working by the time I get finished sitting on hold and the test the technician runs shows no problems). Every time I have to wrestle with the "tech support" on the phone and listen to a recording tell me the same things over and over again that never fix my problems.
Every time my internet gets to this point, it requires a visit from a Verizon technician. Usually they go out into the neighborhood and find a length of cable and replace it. Usually that fixes my issues for a while, but I know it will happen again. It always happens again. It seems to me that the entire length of line that my internet runs through is old, and needs to be replaced. Instead of fixing the problem before it actually becomes a problem, Verizon continues to leave me and my family without service for periods of time.
Last week was the most recent time we dealt with this situation, which was fortunately short lived (Only all day Sunday, into Monday when the technician arrived). It's getting VERY tiring dealing with this situation over and over again, and it's getting offensive honestly. To hear the tech support person tell me that I will be charged $91 if the problem is found and is inside my house is ridiculous. I would understand if this was the first time this situation had occurred, or if I frequently reported non-issues. But no, I'm simply reporting the same issue that Verizon has failed to fix MANY times before.
Perhaps the most frustrating part of this, is that we've never been compensated for our lost service. Last year we lost service for an entire week. That's an entire week with no internet service at all. After we finally got it back, we spoke with the billing department and they told us that we would be credited for the week we lost service. At this point, we are yet to see any credit for the time we have been without the service we pay for. Perhaps we would have tried dealing with Verizon again to get our weeks credit, but attempting to contact someone in Verizon seems futile. Unless you're calling sales you end up sitting on hold for extended periods of time, only to be bounced from person to person until you get to someone that has no excuse not to pretend to help you.
Unless something changes, this is Verizon's last opportunity to keep our service. We have dealt with the loss of service followed by the insult of attempting to deal with Verizon's customer support for the last time. Next time it happens (and I'm sure there will be a next time) unless Verizon shows us that they are actually going to correct the problem, we will cancel our service and give our business to the competitor. This post is being written for a few reasons. I'm hoping that perhaps Verizon can give me a better way to contact someone locally when we have a problem (I would LOVE to speak with a regional manager, or even a local manager of some sort), or at least recognize that there is a problem that will end up costing them money.
Thank you,
A long time customer.

I've decided to give up the fight and go to another provider. I have work to do and having to wait at speeds slower than dial up is insane. At least with dial up I'd have some stability. I can't even run speedtest because it won't connect. At hotels, wi-fi, and hanging by blackberry the laptop works fine but to actually use dsl, nope. Multiple machines and multiple browsers - it's all the same worthless bandwidth.
If they won't give you fios then there is no reason to stay. They've been promising me the service is coming for the last 6 years. They could have run it here by now for the postage they've spent trying to get me to switch to it even though it isn't available. Waste, waste, waste ....

Importing WORD text files with formatting and Text Flow issues IDCS3

I am a designer who has used ID since it first came out, but have not been utilizing the larger document capabilities lately as I've been working in large format graphics (like really large, so if you have questions on that I can answer!). I am working on a new magazine and the copy is in WORD. I want to know the best way to bring in the text and keep the italic and bold formatting. The WORD docs have no style format done by the writers, so therefore changing the styles to my styles in the custom import section doesn't work. I tried making a character style sheet with no font chosen just "italics", but didn't work. I still was unable to make a paragraph style on top of it.
If anyone has a good methodology for bringing in WORD text and keeping it's attributes while applying ID style sheets please help!
Also with text flow, I have always had an issue with ID with not creating more pages to keep the flow going. In a test I just did I placed the text, but it did not create any new pages. I know there's a way to make that work, but spell it out for me like I'm a person losing their mind which seems to be the case!
Thank you in advance to the person who can give me advice!

What for settings do you have on the importoptions when bringing in Word? Keep formatting or loose formatting? And if loose formatting: is Keep local formatting on or off?

CS5 trial issues with ram and content aware issues.

I run a vista 32 machine with 4 gigs. I have tried just about everything including running the machine in minmum and loading only windows and adobe CS5. I still get the error of "Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I have tried playing with the performce settings and GL settings to give adobe as much memory as it needed but it is still not working.
I am working with a file that is 6.49mb which is the average of what my raw file convert to when I download them from my camera. Now the only way I can get it to work is seriously downgrade the file in size and then the content aware fill works great or decrease the area that is going to be filled.
So am I missing something or do I have to convert everything over to 64 bit and throw 8 gigs in this machine to get this to work with those tyoe of file sizes?
Thanks

Hi again everyone. I tried the original solution of turning off OpenGl support in preferances and that worked for me. Granted there are still some problems.
To recap:
I have an Intel Core i7 processor with 4GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (didn't want to go down the 64bit route for compatability issues with other programs). Because Adobe do not support the Canon EOS 5D Mk II in CS3's camera RAW I upgraded to CS4 (that's were things began to become unstable). CS4 was flakey at best. Nice new feel (when it worked). Now I am no dummy when it comes to computers (I run my own IT company as well as photographic business - they kinda compliment each other). After loading CS5 (mainly for content aware feature and hoping it was a bit better than CS4 turned out to be - like most of you on this forum) the neat feature that Adobe had been raving about didn't work as advertised.
Back to where I am up to now. I will not turn this into a Mac vs PC debate since we have aldready had earlier, someone with a "brand new MacBook Pro" complaining of the same issue. I can state that, of all the systems I work on with Windows 7 (which is alot), the only one I am having major issues with is my own. And the only piece of software giving me grief (if you saw my two screens you would have trouble counting the apps on my system), is Photoshop CS5! After turning off OpenGL I can now stitch 12 or more RAW 5D MarkII photos with no problem, generating a file 938MB in size. The first time I did this I still had to original files open and it would not let me do any content aware modifications. Fair enough. I closed all the source files, flattened the layers to produce a single flat layer to work with and then tried content aware. "Not enough memory". I had to bring the file down in size to under 50MB to get it to work on any decent sized area. Now I don't want to have to go out and buy "Blow up" to renlarge my photos because Adobe can not get their memory management working! Lets be clear about this. This is not a Windows problem. Photoshop assigns its own memory, its own scratch disk and interfaces with the Graphics card. So if I assign 1.5GB of memory to Photoshop, 400GB as a scatch disk and have 1GB of video memory why does it still have issues with a 50MB file!!!! Piss poor programming!
Here are my issues. I was sold on CS5 due to a brilliant (if not misleading video) that showed "content aware" at work on Adobe's web site. There was no mention that I would need a super computer or 64bit operating system to work its magic. On purchasing the product as so many of you have discovered it does not work as promissed. In two days of posting to this site I have not seen one representative of Adobe making any comment as to even if they are working on this issue.
Please ADOBE, you big multinational software company, PLEASE make us feel better for having purchased CS5 and not let it be the big white lemon it seems to be.

Newbie help with 12i and firefox java issue

We are in the testing stages for a 12i upgrade. I’m currently testing browser and java version compatibility using an upgraded test system. My problem is the version of java on the desktop client. IE7 will launch the apps fine with any version of java. However, any version of Firefox (including just released v3) will not launch java unless java version 5 update 13 is loaded. I’ve reviewed several metalink docs including 389422.1 and 393931.1 and have used the workaround listed forcing FF to use the older version of java. However, that means that we will have to roll out this older version of java to all clients to use Firefox. During my research I found where Oracle provides a techstack update for 11i (290807.1) that will fix this issue and allow Firefox to work with newer versions of java. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so how did you address it? Is there a 12i update that will fix this issue? I’m a newbie that’s started supporting Oracle, etc. so forgive me for any ignorance I show on the subject. Thanks in advance.

Tod,
It sounds like your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 instance is configured to request end-users to use JRE 1.5.0_13.
Firefox has a known limitation (or feature, depending on your point of view): it will invoke only the specified JRE version requested by the E-Business Suite, even if later versions of the JRE (e.g. 1.6.0_03) are installed on the same desktop.
This behaviour is explained in more detail in Note 290807.1 in Appendix A. Since this behaviour is hardcoded into Firefox, your options are:
1. Configure your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 environment to request a later version of JRE installed on your Firefox-equipped desktops
2. Use IE -- it doesn't enforce static versioning.
3. Contact the Mozilla team and request that they provide a new option to use either static versioning (the status quo) or the latest JRE version installed on the desktop.
Regards,
Steven

Need Help with Signal and No Service Issue

I switched out my phone Saturday after Genius ran diagnostic and said it was a hardware issue dropping so many calls. I also got a new Sim card in the newest series. I was feeling good and confident until I went to work and the signal dropped to No Service and remained that way all day. I called At&t and was treated rather rudely by a supervisor, who said that maybe I should find a different carrier, because I seem to be a problem customer. (I guess for reporting issues.) I don't know what to do anymore. He told me to take the replacement back to Apple and have them test it again. Can anyone help me?

Try th steps provided in the article below:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
If after following the steps in the article the issue remains then make sure you back up your iPhone and as you said book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Trouble syncing photos with PSE7 (and the folder issue)

Here's a brief history on what I've done up to now:
I've had Photoshop Elements 7 installed for a while and I installed the PSE8 trial over top of it. I converted the catalog, and everything sync-wise was fine. After it exprired last night, however, I uninstalled it, and tried to revert back to PSE7. I added some photos to the catalog...
And there's where my troubles started. When I went back into iTunes to sync with PSE, it showed all of the albums I have previously made in PSE8, even though I uninstalled it. I managed to track down where the PSE8 copy of the catalog from where it was hiding, and deleted it.
Now, it doesn't even pick up any catalog anymore. Worse, when I sync my photos with PSE, it give me "iPod "" cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.". It does NOT give me this message when I sync with custom folders, but I strongly prefer to NOT do it that way and to do so with PSE7 instead.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarted computer, nothing helps.
Does anyone know of a fix so that iTunes sees my catalog again? (Yes, I even deleted all instances of "iPod Photo Cache" from my computer too. Didn't help.)

Nevermind, seems I posted this in the wrong place.

Anyone working with Ascential and has loading issues

Hi,
Is anyone out there working with Ascential? We are loading data using Ascential to BW ODS. We would get a log that saids "sending 0 rows in package..." from Ascential, but when it gets loaded to BW, it said there is 1 record and the record row has blank field values when I reviewed the PSA.
Why is Ascential doing this? Is there any settings that I would have to set on the BW side? Would I have to add any code to the Update Rule routine to set the RETURNCODE? Please advise.
Thanks,
RT

Hi Rob,
I had faced some problems loading data using Ascential Data stage. Below mentioned are some of them:
Make sure that all the parameters in the transfer structure are mapped correctly in Ascential, according to the specified business rule.
(ii) Make sure that the number of fields in the transfer structure in BW are same as the mapped fields in Ascential.
(iii) Make sure that the size of the all the fields in BW are same as the mapped fields in Ascential.
My assumption for your problem could have been with the mapping of the fields.
Hope the answer was helpful!
Please let us know if you were able to resolve the problem.
Regards,
S.P

Problems syncing ical with gmail and yahoo - 2 issues

I recently updated to Mavericks. Now I'm getting an error message from syncing with my Yahoo! calendar. It keeps saying that Yahoo! won't accept the change. All I wanted to do was dismiss the message from my mac, not change anything on Yahoo! Very annoying.
Also, for the past few months, even before I upgraded to Mavericks, I've been noticing a problem with events that migrate between my cell phone and my computer. The cell phone is a Samsung Android. It purports to sync with my gmail calendar. ical also purports to sync with the gmail calendar. The appointments do migrate from calendar to another, but the messages don't. It doesn't do much good to have an appointment in my calendar if the program doesn't give me a message warning me of the event.
Yes, unfortunately, I have both Yahoo! and gmail calendars.

This is what I'm getting. If I say "revert to server" it seems to go away, but if I hit "ignore" it keeps coming back. Ical should be able to dismiss the message locally without having to change the Yahoo original, it seems to me
