Logic Express Key Limit strange behaviour

Hello Everybody,
I have a problem with entering values in Key Limit field (in track properties or arpeggiator). Whenever I try to enter a value with "-" the figure turn to D-2 D-2 (or similar) and there's no way I can revert it to the default or change to anything sensible.
I admit I'm new to Logic so that's probably my stupid mistake. But please help.
Thanks,
Marcin

Just in case anyone else sees this problem or something similar, it appeared to be an issue with the mappings with the EXS24 sampler instrument.  I switched to the Bosendorfer piano, and the problem went away.  Even more unusually, when I switched the instrument BACK to the Steinway ... C4 and E4 now play staccato properly.  Some oddness with the sampler loading samples I suspect.

  • Every second G-note is missed by Logic Express

    Hi,
    I have really strange problem: logic express misses every second G-note (two octaves down from middle-C) that I press from MIDI-keyboard. It also misses all G-notes if I press something before the G-note.
    This is not a keyboard problem: I have found same issue with two different keyboards and three different USB-midi-inputs. Neither it's hardware problem, I can switch octave from keyboard and it still happends. When I try "test midi" from OS X, I hear every note coming in to my mac, but every second G-note is missed by Logic. It's clearly something inside Logic Express since OS X receives the notes from keyboards all the time.
    I have newest update for Logic Express and all OS X updates up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    Just to make sure, download this:
    http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
    Then check on the keyboard to make sure that it's producing what you expect.
    Next, have you reassigned that key to a Logic Express key command? Or perhaps to another programme somewhere?
    You could always try reseting the key commands, assuming you haven't set up lots of custom ones.
    Open up the Environment (Command-8) and look at the the Clicks and Ports layer. There's a diagnostic tool in there that shows you what notes are coming in to Logic. That doesn't necessarily means what notes are going to the sequencer since you can filter notes out in the environment.
    I'd also have a look at the Transform Window to see whether there's something wrong in that.
    Sorry not to give you detailed instructions for all of these different actions - this post would be pages long so have a look in the manual and see if you can't figure out some of these advanced functions.

  • LR 1.3.1 strange behaviour: L key adds keywords and removes pictures from collection

    After updating to LR 1.3.1 yesterday I found a very strange behaviour that I cannot explain: While in the Library module and looking at a picture from a collection (in loupe mode) I cycle through the different light modes using the L key. Then suddenly (after several hits of the L key) a keyword is added (not always the same keyword) and at the same time an unknown number of pictures is removed from the collection. The keyword is not added to the picture I was currently viewing, but to another one from the same collection. This has not happened before and I have no idea what is going on. I can restore the collection by relaunching an older catalog but of course this does not solve the problem. Can anybody help?
    (PC, Win XP prof SP 2, 4 Gig RAM)

    It is possible that instead of hitting the l key, or perhaps within the same sequence of hits your are in fact accidentally hitting the k key.
    K is the shortcut for "Add shortcut keyword"
    Of course you would have had to set that particular keyword at some point and it does not explain the different keywords being assigned.
    Unless the alt key was involved somehow and you were rating the images with 1-9 numbers. That would account for different keywords being assigned and would seem arbitrary.
    To check: look at one or two of the images that you may have rated using a number key and then look at the keyword set the keyword came from. Press the alt key and a number from 1-9 will appear next to the keyword. If they match then thats the answer.
    If you weren't rating the images this way then.....??
    Perhaps there is a fault with the keyboard itself rather than the program.

  • How to change key of a song recorded in Logic Express 8.0?

    I'm learning how to use Logic Express 8.0 and have recorded a song using software instruments only. I recorded the song in the key of C. Is there a way I can use Logic to make the song play in D?

    There are several ways to change the pitch of song.
    The simpler is to open the project global properties and change the key there.
    The second could be to select track by track and changing the transpose parameter into the left top inspector.
    The third is to open each track into the piano roll editor, select all notes and move them up or down.
    cheers

  • Can logic express slow down or change the key from playbacks like the program "Amazing slowdowner"?r

    Hello,
    I'm a new member and I'm actually trying to work with garage band to record voice and playback. Can "logic express" Vs. 8.0 slow down or change the key from playbacks like the program "Amazing slowdowner"? This is a programm wich costs 50 US Dollar and I want to decide if i buy it or not.
    What is the hgreatest different between "garage band" and logic express 8.0? Who can hepl me, which is the right thing for me. I find it difficult to find out which effects are the best only to record my voice with playback.
    Thanks for your advices.

    If you want to slow down the audio why not download a program from ABRSM called Speedshifter- its free and is very good.  you could export the audio from Logic and open the MP3 file with speed shifter. I think speedshifter  may also  have the ability to alter the pitch as well. I use it for Flute practice- its very useful !

  • Mac game loaded with logic express, now its asking me for license key

    My macbook came loaded with logic express 3 years ago, been working completely fine. Until today, where upon opening it asks me for the registration key which, if I don't, will not allow me to use the program. I don't have a registration key because I didn't purchase the software separately, and why it is asking for it now (after 3 years of usage) is beyond me.
    Thoughts?

    You should have the key with your documentation & install disk. However, if you haven't got it with your MB, call apple support. They are the only ones who can help you.

  • Using Kontakt 4 as a plug-in, Logic Express sounds strange

    I use Kontakt Player 4.1 as a standalone for GalaxyPianos and the sound is luscious and natural the keyboard plays like a Grand. When I use the same instance in Logic Express 9, it sounds cheap. The sound is flanged, it changes in quality from one note to the next. Not a huge amount mind you. Someone who was not a muso might say it sounds no different but it is very different.
    I load everything as a standard, default new project with a software instrument, all default values. I have also tried loading mono, stereo, multi stereo etc and still it just doesn't sound right. What is produced by Kontakt as a standalone is way better than I am getting when it plays as a plug-in.
    There are no load or latency issues but if I play a note the velocity seems noticeably lower in Logic than the stand alone. It almost sounds as though Logic is adding something to the sample.
    Any ideas?

    Roland RD700GX USB direct to iMac

    Aaaahhh, i see you have the same keyboard as I - the Roland RD700SX
    make sure you have only 1 Layer button activated (let's say: upper 1). If you have selected all 4 layers, the RD700SX will output 4 notes at once (one for each active layer), and this may lead to crazy effects with Logic. So, press the "External" button on the RD700SX and de-activate "upper 2", "lower 1&2" or set them to different zones.
    If you need the layers to trigger different instances of software instruments in Logic, make sure you have "auto demix by channel" activated in the logic MIDI recording preferences.

  • How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

    Hi,
    In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
    Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Question Man

    Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
    Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
    Bhupal,
    You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
    Shanthi,
    Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
    Saipriya,
    Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
    I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
    Thanks a lot.
    Points will be rewarded.

  • Strange behaviour of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

    hello guys,
    i wrote a program which executes some commands in commandline (actually tried multiple stuff.)
    what did i try?
    open "cmd.exe" manually (administrator)
    type "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" and hit enter, which returns me
    "AMD64"
    type "java -version" and hit enter, which returns me:
    "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
    type "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip"" returns me:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-zip
    Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
    i wrote two functions to execute an command
    1) simply calls exec and reads errin and stdout from the process started:
    public static String execute(String command) {
              String result = "";
              try {
                   // Execute a command
                   Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
                   // Read from an input stream
                   InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
                   int c;
                   while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                        result += ((char) c);
                   in.close();
                   in = child.getErrorStream();
                   while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                        result += ((char) c);
                   in.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
              return result;
         }the second function allows me to send multiple commands to the cmd
    public static String exec(String[] commands) {
              String line;
              String result = "";
              OutputStream stdin = null;
              InputStream stderr = null;
              InputStream stdout = null;
              // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
              try {
                   Process process;
                   process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
                   stdin = process.getOutputStream();
                   stderr = process.getErrorStream();
                   stdout = process.getInputStream();
                   // "write" the parms into stdin
                   for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
                        line = commands[i] + "\n";
                        stdin.write(line.getBytes());
                        stdin.flush();
                   stdin.close();
                   // clean up if any output in stdout
                   BufferedReader brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(
                             new InputStreamReader(stdout));
                   while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                        result += line + "\n";
                   brCleanUp.close();
                   // clean up if any output in stderr
                   brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
                   while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                        result += "ERR: " + line + "\n";
                   brCleanUp.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return result;
         }so i try to execute the commands from above (yes, i am using \\ and \" in java)
    (1) "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
    (2) "java -version"
    (3) "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip""
    the first function returns me (note that ALL results are different from the stuff above!):
    (1) "" <-- empty ?!
    (2) java version "1.6.0_11"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
    (3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
    the second function returns me:
    (1) x86 <-- huh? i have AMD64
    (2) java version "1.6.0_11"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
    (3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
    horray! in this version the java version is correct! processor architecture is not empty but totally incorrect and the reg query is still err.
    any help is wellcome
    note: i only put stuff here, which returns me strange behaviour, most things are working correct with my functions (using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); code)
    note2: "reg query "HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" /t REG_SZ" IS working, so why are "some" queries result in ERR, while they are working if typed by hand in cmd.exe?

    ok, i exported a jar file and execute it from cmd:
    java -jar myjar.jar
    now the output is:
    (1) "" if called by version 1, possible to retrieve by version 2 (no clue why!)
    (2) "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
    (3) C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
    so all three problems are gone! (but its a hard way, as i need both functions and parse a lot of text... :/ )
    thanks for the tip, that eclipse changes variables (i really did not knew this one...)

  • Logical Expression

    Hi,
    I have an internal table contains field for logical expression EQ, GE, GT etc.
    I would like to use this logical expression in my ABAP code.
    For example
    READ TABLE INTAB INDEX 1.
    Comparing the value of a and b based on the logical expression from the INTAB.
    How can i achieve this ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
        The required code has to be declared in the Macro defination, it is define between the statement DEFINE and END-OF-DEFINATION, with the help of CASE statement you can code for all the possible Options. Just check the below example.
    DATA : v_aaa TYPE i VALUE 50,
           v_bbb TYPE i VALUE 100.
    TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_ztab,
              field  TYPE c LENGTH 5,
              option TYPE c LENGTH 2,
            END OF ty_ztab.
    DATA : i_ztab  TYPE TABLE OF ty_ztab,
           wa_ztab TYPE ty_ztab.
    DEFINE macro.
      case &1.
        when 'GT'.
          if v_aaa gt v_bbb.
            write :/ v_aaa, 'Greater than', v_bbb.
          else.
            write :/ v_aaa, 'Less than', v_bbb.
          endif.
        when 'EQ'.
          if v_aaa eq v_bbb.
            write :/ 'Equal'.
          endif.
        when 'LT'.
        when 'NE'.
        when others.
      endcase.
    END-OF-DEFINITION.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      wa_ztab-field = 'abc'.
      wa_ztab-option = 'GT'.
      APPEND wa_ztab TO i_ztab.
      CLEAR : wa_ztab.
      wa_ztab-field = 'cef'.
      wa_ztab-option = 'EQ'.
      APPEND wa_ztab TO i_ztab.
      CLEAR : wa_ztab.
      READ TABLE i_ztab INTO wa_ztab WITH KEY
                        field = 'abc'.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        macro wa_ztab-option.
      ENDIF.
    Output will be :-  50 Less than 100, which is written in ELSE condition of the CASE condition GT.

  • Sync microKorg with Logic Express 9

    I'm trying to sync the arpeggiator of my microKorg XL with Logic Express 9, using Logic as the master. I seem to have almost done it, in that tempo changes in Logic change the microKorg's tempo. However, I can only hear the microKorg whilst I'm either recording or playing back - I can't hear it if I press a few keys.
    I think the problem lies in that I have "Local off" set in accordance with the microKorg manual. The manual says I should also "turn on echo back" on the computer - but I don't know how to do this in Logic Express.
    Grateful for advice.

    When you set "Local Off" in any synth with MIDI capability, it disconnects synth's keyboard from its sound engine. Switch it back ON to be able to play sounds again using microKorg's keyboard. There is no point to disable the keyboard in your case anyways. Unless of course, you want to avoid midi-loop (but that's only when you have both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT wired to Logic).

  • Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system

    Strange behaviour of Removal of Alpha for Info object in Quality system as compared to Development system.
    Hi,
    The data for an info object Key in the DSO was 00000000000000000000000000123. I removed Alpha for the info object and data was corrected to 123 in the DSO in development system.
    Now, when i transported the info object without alpha to quality and loaded data into DSO, the data is still the same with leading zeros.
    I dont want to write routine to remove leading zeros, as I have values as 0. If i write routine, all zeros will be removed and this will be blank.
    Both development and quality have same patches applied and are on same level.
    Why is this strange behaviour in quality system...
    Any inputs?? please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
      Did you drop and reload the data after changing the conversion?

  • Installing logic express 8

    im installing logic express 8 and my serial number is not working. it asks me for my original xs key number?
    i never had logic or any kind of recording software on my macbookpro. do i need logic studio to install express?

    You do not need Logic Studio to install LE8. Are you sure you have the full LE8 version and not the upgrade? If it's asking for your original key number, that implies an upgrade.

  • Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

    I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
    So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
    Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
    The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
    I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
    Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
    Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
    Thanks
    Rounik

    Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?
