Logic only plays one MIDI note at a time. Roland R8

Hey guys, totally new to MIDI and posted this question on another forum, but for some reason I can't get Logic to play more than one note at a time with my Roland R8 drum machine. I've searched the we far and wide along with this forum and the R8 manual to no avail.
Also, it's doesn't seem to play the full range of notes ie, anything above C6, when the R8 manual says that there are sounds there.
I've got a USB MIDI lead connected, with the in in the out and vice-versa. I've also attached a screen shot of my MIDI matrix thing and the inspector window for the instrument.
Thanks so much!

Logic Pro X: One MIDI note won't play

I am having a strange problem with Logic Pro X. I use a Yamaha CP33 as my main MIDI keyboard, connected by USB. In the past couple weeks, a strange problem has emerged - one of the notes from the keyboard, the B-2, to be specific, just doesn't trigger. At first I thought the key was broken, but it's okay, because:
- all keys work fine when I use the keyboard's analog audio output
- all keys work fine in MainStage
- the non-functional key moves up and down if I choose to transpose the notes on the keyboard.
So I have concluded that it's a software issue specific to Logic. I have already tried reinstalling the Yamaha USB MIDI driver, it didn't help. Could it be some obscure setting in Logic that is messing things up? What do you suggest can I do to fix this?

Hi
You may have set up LPX to use that MIDI note as an automation control, or as a keycommand
a) Go to Preferences;Controller Assignments & check there
b) Go to Preferences Key Commands and check there
Might be quicker to reset aboth?

Instrument track only plays one track at a time

Logic Studio will only play one instrument track at a time. Whenever I click to another instrument track I lose the sound. The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all. It seems that the track is working but there doesn't seem to be any output to the mixer. I have checked all of the solo buttons and none are on. I opened a blank project and all of the software instruments worked just fine; it is only in this project that I can't get more than one instrument track to play at a time.

still plays only one instrument track at a time
I think this project might be damaged, and it would be great if we could take a look at it, as Bee Jay suggested. In the meantime, you should try what Erik suggested about option-click. And here are a few other ideas, although I'm not too optimistic.
Select any region and press S. Three things should happen: this region should have a yellow outline, the ruler should turn yellow, and the solo button in the transport bar should turn yellow. Press S again, and those three things should revert to normal. Is this what happens? It just might be helpful to know.
In the Mixer window, find the button at the top that says "All," and select it. Make sure to look at every channel strip. No yellow S button anywhere? Do you see any Mute buttons flashing?
Press option-K to open the key commands window. In the search box, type "solo off" (without the quote marks). You will see the command 'Solo off for all.' Probably no key is assigned. Give it a key (option-1 might be a good choice, because it's probably available). Close the key commands window, and press the key stroke. Better now?
The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all.
I have a feeling that when you say "channel strip meter" you mean 'track header meter.' Because it's completely normal that when a midi track is muted (e.g., because another track is soloed) that the track header meter will keep lighting up, even though there's no sound and even though the meter in the mixer (on what is properly called the channel strip) is dark.
The meter in the track header is just indicating that Logic is reading midi from the track. Whether or not that midi gets to become sound is something that happens downstream, and is not reflected in this meter.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time. It will not shuffle or continuously play an album. All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on. Any suggestions?

My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music. Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset. What am I missing? It has never done this before....

ITunes 8.0 only Plays One Song at a Time, then Stops! AARGH!

Someone, please help. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail.
For some reason, when I play a song in my Music Library on my laptop iTunes 8.0, it stops playing after each song. When the song ends, iTunes stops; it does not move to the next song in my library, it just stops. I have to click on the next song to play that song, and when that song is done it stops.
I have tried creating Music Playlists, does not help. I have tried checking and unchecking the Repeat and Shuffle options, still nothing.
This does not happen on my iPods, only when I play songs in my Music Library on iTunes from my laptop.
If you have any suggestions for a solution, please tell me. I am beyond frustrated having to click on the next song every time.

I have the same problem with iTunes only playing one track at a time. It didn't use to be this way ... and seems to have developed after one of the recent updates (late December 2008).
I did, however, find that the problem was "solved" by checkmarking all the tracks that I expect to hear played. However, this won't work for me because ... as it has always been in the past ... I use these check boxes to tell iTunes which tracks to synchronize to my iPod. Since my desktop library is many times larger than can be loaded onto my iPod, I obviously cannot check all of the tracks.
Since when did these check marks become **ALSO** a signal to tell iTunes what tracks to play continuously on iTunes?!?
Previously, I have **ONLY** used these check-marks to signal to iTunes the tracks that should be synchronized to my iPod.
If the foregoing advice (check-marking all songs to be played continuously on **iTunes** ... then it would appear that the programmers have introduced a conflict of functions in the iTunes user interface.
The check-mark system is a simple and intuitive method to select which tracks to synchronize to the iPod ... it is not at all intuitive that you would be expected to check these **SAME** check-boxes to play tracks on the iTunes desktop.
Generally, when listening to music at home on iTunes, I prefer to listen to albums as published from the first track to the last track. Occasionally, I may wish to shuffle tracks within an album or within a genre.
However, when on the go, I sometimes shuffle music entirely. In any event, I cannot possibly download my entire library onto my iPod because of memory limitations.
In conclusion, I do not wish to tamper with my check-marks ... I know, at any time, how much memory is currently in use on my iPod and so can add and/or delete check-boxes to adjust the tracks from my iTunes main library that are played on my iPod.
Of course, then, I am massively frustrated that I cannot listen to albums continuously without messing-up my iPod library selections.
This was never a problem before ... why has this behavior changed?
This could, of course be resolved if the Apple development team added a command "Continuous Play" [On] or [Off] ... say under the [Controls] menu, logically placed above the "Shuffle" menu item.
Comments?
Does anyone on the Apple iTunes development team monitor this discussion?

Only Plays One Song at a Time ???

I'm trying to listen to albums in my library but iTunes will only play one song at a time, very annoying to have to down arrow and click play after every song. How can I make iTunes play through my library without stopping?
I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) and YES all the songs are checked.
Thanks~

<SOLVED>
I disabled the Ping drop-down from the Terminal with:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE
and viola! Now my library plays without stopping after just one song. Not sure why this fixed my problem but it did? I guess it's just another reason to get rid of Ping!

Can only play one podcast at a time

Hi,
I have just upgrade from a 3g iPod to a 5g. On the older iPod I could pick a podcast and it would play all the episodes one after another. Now it will only play one at a time and shows 1 of 1 in the display. I can see 5 episodes if I actually go into the playlist. My Nano does the samething.
Is there a setting I am missing that can change this?
Best wishes
Michael

Well now I'm doubly .
Steve, did you try playing a Podcast episode in List view? I ask, because after Creydon's last post I read, re-read and read it again to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Consequently I tried playing some Podcasts.
The results are odd, even after re-booting my computer.
In List view:
Started a Podcast episode playing.
Checked the Up Next list. It was empty - not what I expected, but I'll go with the flow.
At the end of the episode, the following episode began playing. This makes no sense to me, if the list is empty, why does another episode begin? If this is expected behaviour, I did not realise that the Up Next only dealt with music, not Podcasts.
Turned on Shuffle, then turned it off again before the episode finished.
When this episode finished, a further Podcast began - at random! This also makes no sense, particularly as the Up Next was still empty. iTunes was in Shuffle mode, and was shuffling Podcasts!
Turned Shuffle back on and this time, left it on.
At the end of the episode, iTunes stopped. At last, expected behaviour!
As I'm sure you are aware, by default iTunes sets all Podcasts to Skip when shuffling, so in Shuffle mode, once a Podcast finishes, since all the others are set to skip, iTunes should stop. But if Shuffle is turned on then off again, iTunes mistakenly plays Podcasts at random, even though Shuffle has been turned off! Surely, this is a bug?
At least though, it is possible to make iTunes play one Podcast episode, then stop, (as I expected, so not a bug at this point!). Simply turn on Shuffle (and leave it on).

ITunes only plays one song at a time, it wont play my playlist or library

all of a sudden my itunes will only play one song and then stop and when i press the "next" button, it just stops the song playing. and now there are check boxes in front of each song and i dont know what it means? i just want to be able to put my library on shuffle and play through them!!

The check boxes have been there for as long as I can remember. You can see them in screenshots back as far as iTunes 1: iTunes Screenshots
The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

My iPod only plays one song at a time

I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
So far, so good.
The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any advice gratefully received.

Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

Songs will only play one at a time

After updating iTunes, using the last update 7.6.2, it will only play one song at a time and stops. It will not play continuously through a playlist. Am I missing something in the setting? Any suggestions?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Podcasts in a playlist only play one at a time instead of in seq

I just got a 6G nano iPod.
I have smart playlists that include my favorite podcasts in reverse time sequence.
When I play from this list, only one episode at a time will play. After the episode completes then the iPod goes back to the playlist where you can manually select the next podcast.
This works fine on my 3 or 4 G (I don't know which it is) nano.
I want to play all the podcasts in the playlist one-after-the-other without stopping playback.

I have smart playlists which have Media type "Podcast" and Play Count = 0. These playlists were only playing one song at a time.
The solution that I found to the problem was to
connect ipod
goto ipod in devices
select podcasts
select sync podcasts
DON'T SELECT AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDE ALL EPISODES OF ALL PODCASTS
Scroll down to Include Episodes from Playlists
Then select all the smart playlists that include ipod episodes.
This means those playlists are copied to the ipod and they play in order.
It doesn't seem to matter whether or not the playlist is selected as well under the Music tab.

Blackberry 8330 only plays one song at a time

ts a brand new phone, 4 gig card, used desktop manager to load songs... why will it only play one song at a time?
this is pretty strange...

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

I-tunes 7.7.1 only plays one song at a time

Hi, help me please.
My i-tunes is now only playing one song at a time, the song will end and i-tunes stops. It will not move onto the next song even when I've got the song as part of a gapless album. This has just happened, it used to work fine before.
I did uninstall and delete the version I had on my computer and downloaded and installed another however the problem still exists.
Any advice would be great thanks

Is all the boxes to the left of the song titles checked?
