Logic Pro 9 cannot set up external midi (Roland Juno G)

I am using Logic Pro 9 and can't seem to set up the external midi. I have a Roland Juno G which is working as a midi controller perfectly but I cannot send sound within the keyboard to Logic. I have set up everything on the keyboard side but I'm having difficulty setting it up in Logic. I don't want to just use it as a midi controller as I want to use some of the internal sounds as well. PLEASE HELP........!

  • Deperately need help setting up external midi devices

    I need help setting up external midi devices.....Motu828...Midi express...RolandXV3080....Motif rack.......HELP

    Theres not really much to setup. Assuming your synths are connected to the MIDI Express already..
    In Logic, make a new MIDI track. On the left hand side in the track inspector, among the parameters you'll see an option for MIDI Port and Channel. Just pick which port the track is going to, set the channel and device id and play (And be glad you never had to deal with setting up the old Environment window in Logic 5 and below).
    If you really wanna get into it and have all your MIDI ports named after the synth thats connected to it, open up Audio Midi Setup, create a device icon for each synth you have and draw the cables from each device to whatever port its connected to on the midi interface's icon.
    Then in Logic everytime you pick your MIDI port on your track, instead of MIDI Port 1, MIDI Port 2, etc.,
    it would be labelled XV-3080, Motif Rack, and so on.. I dont think theres anyway to do this within Logic itself (you can change the labels on your audio ins and outs, but not MIDI as far as I can recall)..
    If youre talking about having access to patch names and whatnot like Digital Performer and Cubase let you do, Logic doesnt use the xml patch lists everyone else does. The above steps are pretty much all there is to be done as far as MIDI.
    Heres my Audio Midi Setup window for reference.
    Now when I select MIDI Port 1 in Logic its named MWXT, port 2 is SR-16, etc..

  • Logic Pro X slow, no external sound

    Brand new mac mini, 2.6GHz, OSX 10.8.4 - 16GB RAM - 250GB SSD Drive
    Using Logic Pro 10.0.1
    Just got this computer today and logic pro x. having a few different issues:
    1. Midi works fine, i can play the soft synths but scrolling though presents is a little slow (just upgraded from my 2007 imac 2GB Ram, and it was faster scrolling through presets on this old machine!). too slow.
    2. Playing a softsynth will move my channel and master meters very slowly, they will appear as if they are still pushing through a signal 10 seconds or more after there is no sound - they are very, very slow and completely unrepresentative of what is occuring on that channel.
    3. Trying to record an external synth, i cannot hear any audio, even though the meter is showing that there is sound coming through (audio preferences are fine, audio interface is a roland studio capture that works with ableton live just fine; this same external synth records just fine in ableton live 9 on the same channel).
    4. Using a novation 49SL MKii controller, it does not control Logics mixing board. Already set it up in the preferences as a control surface.
    _ tried repaiting permissions, unistalled and reinstalled Logic, to no avail. Also ran logic without the novation/automap and its still causing the same problems - somebody help me please! Dont want to have to work totally within Ableton.
    Thanks!

    I suspect it will be a driver/hardware issue  relating to your GAR24M rather than anything to do with LPX.

  • Logic Pro 8 with Triton Studio MIDI Data Not Sending

    I have a Triton Studio (Korg), recently got a MIDI IN/OUT to USB plug in, for my macbook. 
    Never done this before, thus am trying to figure this out:
    My computer is showing that the USB plug in is indeed there, and Logic Pro sees the device as well... however when I punch the keys in the keyboard, the data does not seem to transfer into the Logic Pro track.
    I just want to get it set up, so I can record onto Logic Pro 8, creating music on this software.  As in playing my board, having the software receive what I am playing.  Just piano stuff really...  Any help I can get is appreciated, I have looked through all sorts of forums and manuals, but maybe an explanation would help, or clarity on what the basic settings should be at, so it can work, then if it still does not work, then maybe there's another issue. 
    Also, when I start Logic Pro 8, it says "Cannot find DAE Folder in "System Folder" them "ESB TDM Plug-in not found"
    Are these anything to worry about?  This computer is used, thus I am not the first owner.

    You need to use an external MIDI track or a Software (virtual) Instrument track to record MIDI.
    Normally this is correct, but I have seen a USB Interface where the cables are labelled the other way round.... IN goes to IN, OUT goes to OUT.
    Crazy situation, but might be worth checking?
    CCT
    That's one I've never seen but have no doubt they exist.
    Perhaps a quality control issue.... Nah! 
    To the O.P.
    Does the Korg Triton have to be enabled for MIDI out.
    As I recall some Korg Triton models had both MIDI ports and a built in USB interface and there was a MIDI Menu where either port could be enabled. It's worth checking into even if your model does not have the built-in USB output.
    Are you using 10.6.8 like your tagline says?

  • Logic Pro - control sequencer tempo externally

    Its a drag, that Logic Pro doesn't offer the option to sync to external Midi clock since version 8 anymore. While thousands of live players are switching to otehr applications: What has Logic Pro 8 or 9 to offer today to work around this problem without extra applications or devices?
    Grateful for any easy and working answer.

    I don't run any audio, just ESX24/ES1 stuff.
    That's audio, any way you slice it. If Logic is hosting sound-generating plugins, it's doing audio.
    On the flip side, if you were using Logic solely as a sequencer for external MIDI gear, and you shut off CoreAudio in Logic, only then would you truly not be doing audio in Logic. Now, wouldn't it have been nice to have a "MIDI only mode" so that Logic could in fact clock to external MIDI clock soley for the purpose of using it as a sequencer for external MIDI devices? Yup. I can only guess as to why they decided not to implement that.
    If the tap works, then external tempo control is also back.
    No. Tap only sets Logic's tempo, but it doesn't clock Logic. After you tap in the requisite number of taps, Logic free-runs at the new tempo under its own internal clock. So no, external tempo control is not back. It's just not there at all.
    Then only midi-controlled start/stop/rewind would be missing to resemble midi clock functionality.
    Even if you could (and you can) get Logic to respond to external tap tempo events (give it 4 up front and let it roll), it's going to re-interpret the tempo each time it gets those four 'taps'. So there's no guarantee that the tempo will be the same each time.
    The only way to get this to work is to figure out how you can send MTC from one of your other devices and synchronize Logic that way. Otherwise (I hate to say it, but it's true) you're SOL.

  • How do I make Bandstand Logic Pro 7's default GM Midi Player?

    When I import a GM Midi file into Logic Pro 7 the tracks appear near the bottom of the page as part of the midi channels rather than in the section 'Inst 1 - Inst 8' (which I'm sure is what they're supposed to do).
    I can find Bandstand when I change, for example, Track 22 (Clean Gt) into 'Inst 1' and then open up the Mixer and follow the I/O path > Stereo > AU Instruments > Native Instruments > Bandstand, and the track will then play
    the correct GM Midi sound using Bandstand.
    However I was under the impression that I could make any newly imported GM Midi file always automatically play GM Midi Bandstand-generated sounds.
    If I go into the Environment, select Midi Instr. > New > Internal > Apple Quicktime I can instantly make all tracks on the imported GM Midi file play perfectly using Quicktime (although I still seem to have to do this each
    time I open a new track rather than Logic default to Quicktime for any newly imported Midi file).
    After installation I was expecting to find Bandstand alongside Apple Quicktime and ReWire, given that the instructions say that Bandstand will automatically integrate with Logic - but it's not there!
    However I don't want Logic to default to QuickTime, I want Logic to play imported midi files perfectly using Bandstand each time without having to make any adjustments. I have been told this is possible. I just can't work out how!
    I hope someone can help! Ean ([email protected])

    Hi Ean
    I don’t own Bandstand but I have been looking at it lately, and I know you can open and play standard midi files right from the player section on the bottom right hand side of the interface.
    When you import a midi file each midi channel, (1-16) defaults to a midi track for playback. since Bandstand is a VI you need to set it up similarly to the way the quicktime instrument is set up
    In the midi layer of your environment, create a multi instrument, and name it Bandstand. set the midi out port to off and turn on each midi channel of the multi by clicking each one. Put an audio instrument object in the layer next to the multi and in the I/O select bandstand as the instrument. connect a cable from out of the multi to the input of the audio instrument.
    if this is the only multi in your environment, when you import a midi file it should default to these tracks
    I know this works for other mutitambril VI’s. hopefully this will work for Bandstand
    By the way.. how do you like Bandstand? are the sounds real good?

  • Edirol UA-25 card and Logic pro 8 set up

    Hi can anyone help me. I have a been using garage band with my edirol UA-25 sound card no problem, set up was nice and easy. Just in preferences change the input setting.
    My wife bought me Logic Pro 8 yesterday and I cant seem receive a signal from the UA-25. I guess that there must be a preferences section as in garage band somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it.
    Also there is no output at all. In the guitar sounds section there is a drum track to play to. I can see the track is playing but there is no output through either my external speakers, built in speakers or headphone.
    It appears that my system preferences are set up o.k.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • Does Logic Pro X actually work with the Roland VS-20?

    Hi all.  According to the support docs, the Roland VS-20 should work with Logic Pro X.  I've installed the latest drivers, the latest Logic plug-in for the VS-20, and the latest VS-20 Editor.  On occasion (and I have no idea what the magic formula is), I've gotten the controls and audio to work via the VS-20.  However, more often than not, the VS-20 controls (transport controls and faders) do nothing, and playing audio results in a horrible screeching through the VS-20.
    A couple of other points of info:
    The VS-20 always shows up correctly in the Control Surface and audio settings of Logic Pro X.
    The VS-20 works fine in Reaper 4 as well as when only using the VS-20 Editor.
    I'm using Logic Pro X (10.0.3) on a 2012 MBPr w/ 2.6GHz i7 and 16GB RAM
    Is anyone out there using this setup successfully?
    Thanks!

    Roland was very helpful, even though their solution didn't actually work for me.  I sent them the same info as above, and here was the reply:
    We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble. The VS-20 is definitely compatible with Logic Pro X. Be sure that you have setup the VS-20 in Logic Pro X according to the following instructions:
    Audio I/O Setup:
    1.     Select Logic Pro X in the menu bar and navigate to Preferences.
    2.     Click on “Audio...”
    3.     Under the Devices tab, set your Output Device and Input Device to “VS-20 44.1kHz”--if it is not already set.
    Note: The sample rate of your Logic Pro X project must be 44.1kHz--as the VS-20 only operates in this sample rate.
    4.     Click “Apply Changes”.
    5.     Close the Preferences menu.
    Control Surface Setup:
    1.     Select Logic Pro in the menu bar and navigate to Preferences.
    2.     Navigate to Control Surfaces and then click on “Setup...” A Setup window will appear.
    3.     Click on “New” and then select “Install…” An Install window will appear.
    4.     Select “Mackie Designs (Manufacturer) / Mackie Control (Model) / Logic Control (Module) and then click “Add”.
    Note: If prompted with the message “No new Devices found”, click on “Add Manually”.
    5.     In the Setup window, expand the Mackie Control section and assign both the Out Port and Input Port to “CONTROL”.
    Note: If the Setup window does not appear, right-click on the Mackie mixer image and then select “Hide/Show Inspector”.
    6.     Close the Control Surface Install and Setup windows.
    The VS-20 is now setup for Logic Pro X.
    We hope this information is helpful! Please let us know if this does not resolve your issue and include as much information as possible regarding troubleshooting you have done and results you have received. We are happy to help you.
    Sincerely,
    Roland Product Support
    These steps actually resulted in a situation where some of the buttons on the VS-20 triggered sounds instead of their intended functions.  I deleted everything and started over, this time picking the actual VS-20 option in the setup, and everything worked.
    I should mention that I also (foolishly?) updated to Mavericks just before getting this to work. 

  • Logic Pro X doesn't receive midi signals (Logic 9 does)

    Hi,
    When I updated to OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 Logic X stopped receiving midi signals from my keyboards and otther midi devices.
    My system is:
    Mac Pro (2010)
    3,2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    The funny thing is that it worked great before the update to Yosemite, and when I run Logic 9 evreything works as norwal in Yosemite. No problem with the MIDI-signals then.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this.
    I am using an Oxygen USB keyboard and a Alesis Control Pad, but there is no signal in Logic X. 
    Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

  • Logic Pro when recording audio and midi takes, the regions sometimes become confused. The midi tracks line up with audio tracks.

    When recording midi and audio tracks simutaneously the midi tracks don't always line up with the software instrument channel. They may show up on the audio track. Sometimes they appear white instead of the normal green. Any suggestions?

    Hey there jlholm,
    It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected behavior when you are working on your project. I would use troubleshooting steps 6-10 from the following article named:

  • Can Logic Pro 9 play a printed MIDI 'turn'?

    I find it har to describe a turn. In the Part Box, under the first square collection of items, it's the first one on the upper left, there are two in that row which appear to be the same but I have yet to find an explanation in the Manual. Anyone familiar with turns?

    If you originally purchased Logic Pro 9 from the App Store, then according to the App Store Agreement/License you can install it on any number of Computers you own (or have exclusive use of) simply by going to the App Store application, select the Purchased tab and download/install Logic Pro from there.
    Note: You must sign into the App store using the original Apple ID account information that you used to purchase Logic Pro 9 in the first place... to be able to redownload Logic Pro on your new computer for free.
    If you originally purchased Logic Pro as part of a physical Boxed set (Logic Studio for example ) then your license agreement allows you to install Logic on two different computers (One Desktop and One Laptop) but you may only run Logic Pro on one computer at any one time. You will also need your original Serial numbers for the original version of Logic Pro you bought plus any upgrade serial numbers (say for the Boxed upgrade set from Logic 8 to Logic 9) in order to install Logic Pro on a new computer.
    Note: You will not be able to download the full version of Logic Pro 9 from the App store if you originally bought the Boxed set version.. If you try to do so you will have to pay for Logic Pro again in order to suceed. However...Once you have installed Logic Pro 9 from the DVDs you can then use the App Store/Update feature to update Logic Pro 9 to the latest version for free as normal..

  • MacBook Pro cannot connect to external display (projector) under Windows

    Our office has got one of those lovely new 13" MacBook Pros and we cannot figure out why it cannot connect to either of our 2 projectors with Windows 7.
    We have an older MBP with NVidia graphics that connects just fine under both OS X and Windows. And this machine connects fine under Snow Leopard.
    There was a recent Thunderbolt chipset update and we applied that; on the Windows side the Intel driver has been updated but nothing happens. Have also zapped the PRAM to no effect.
    To add another wrinkle: I just connected the MBP to my Cinema Display and the external display shows fine in both OS X and Windows--Windows didn't even require me to go to the control panel.
    This leads me to two thoughts: either it is something with the Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (hard to believe, though, since it works for OS X) or it is something to do with the native resolution of the projector (equally hard to believe, as changing through various settings in Windows NOTHING happens on the external projector--it doesn't blink, go back or anything.)
    Any ideas?

    I wish I could find the discussion, but I cannot.
    There was a discussion about the Windows 7 driver for the Thunderbolt port.  The conclusion I believe was that it only outputs digital signals, not analog.
    The other conclusions were:
    A USB-VGA adapter adapter bypasses this limitation because the driver is in the adapter itself and works regardless of the OSX/Windows operating system in charge.
    Run Windows under VM, where OSX is in charge and can create analog output through Thunderbolt
    If only I could find that thread ...

  • Cannot set up external content type

    I'm trying to set up an External Content Type in SharePoint Designer 2013 in my Office 365 SharePoint site.
    I have connected to the site (can make changes to all other parts of the site with no problem).
    I have set up Metadata Store permissions for me to have full rights to BCS.
    When I click on External Content Types, there are none there.
    When I click on New External Content Type nothing happens.

    What am I missing?
     

    Hi,    
    You said “When I click on New External Content Type nothing happens”, do you mean that the “New External Content Type” button in the ribbon is gray out and not able to click?
    Or that button is clickable, however there is no respond when you click it?
    What if you use another account with sufficient permission to perform these operations, will it work?

  • Rewire logic pro 9.1.7 to reason 6.5 doesn't auto sync when i open reason after logic?

    after i launch logic pro and add an external midi, i open reason but it is not  syncing and giving me the option to rewire ? on hardware interface in reason , the green tab reads saffire which is my interface, and here it should be saying rewire to logic , or similar. why wont logic sync my rewire with reason ?

    Probably one is in 32-bit mode & the other 64-bit.  Locate the programs in Finder and "get info" - there should be a tickbox that says "Open in 32 bit mode" or something.  Make 'em match.

  • Can Logic Pro X slave to an external midi clock, i.e. a Roland guitar synth?

    I play with someone who has a Roland guitar synth with a midi clock on it. I can wirelessly sync Arturia Spark drum software but would really like to be able to sync logic. The Roland will not sync to an external device, so I need to get Logic to follow the midi clock on the Roland. Any help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, there is no help, Logic will not sync to external MIDI clock.
    MIDI TimeCode, yes. MIDI Clock.. no.
    You might look at Reaper for the Mac, not sure if they've implemented MIDI Slave sync.
    You understand the problem, MIDI is Low Res, when a MIDI/Audio sequencer tries to slave to MIDI Clock, the resolution is so low there are inconsistencies... MIDI is serial information and it's very easy for delays and loose sync... MIDI and Audio falls apart. When a MIDI Midi/Audio sequencer is the master it uses the audio clock which is usually at 44.1 or 48kHz samples per second (time related), compared to 24 PPG the base MIDI resolution which is tempo related.
    No contest.
