Logic Pro: Midi note key command

Hi all.
Does anyone know if there is a key command that allows you to set the length of a midi note in the piano roll? The example in particular I am looking for is if your chord takes up exactly one bar...yet one or two notes within the chord are slightly over (as a result of them being played in not programmed in), is there a key command that will automatically shorten said notes to one bar. At the moment I resort to cutting them or manually shortening them. I was just wondering if a short cut exists?
D

Result!
This works perfectly...Thank you so much for that info!
All the best

  • Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

    I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
    Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
    It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
    At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
    The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
    With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
    This thing drives me crazy!
    Solutions?
    Here some ideas in other foums:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
    But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

    I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
    The Result:
    Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
    BUT
    Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
    I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
    And that's not all!
    After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
    Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!

  • Logic Pro Midi Keyboard Randomly Stops

    Hi, I am fairly new to Logic Pro 9 and music composition software in general.  I have a Yamaha P85 keyboard that I am using with Logic.  I use an E-MU midi 2x2 to hook it up to my computer (imac 2011).  The keyboard has a midi in/out slots where I have a midi cable in the midi OUT slot.  It connects to my E-MU midi device in the midi IN slot.  A usb cable connects the midi device to my computer.  The keyboard is recognized in my computer MIDI settings and works in Logic Pro.  The problem is when im recording in logic or just playing, the keyboard will randomly stop for a few seconds (no sound when I hit keys) and nothing will be recorded during this period (if I'm recording).  After 1-5 seconds the keyboard will work again.  This happens randomly even when I'm not recording in Logic.  Another problem is sometimes, also randomly, a note will be held (sustained) when I'm not holding down the key.  Again, this happens in Logic whether I'm recording or not.  I have searched a lot online and read many forums, but I cannot find an answer.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    So yes I am playing on the virtual instruments.  No separate audio device.  I have external speakers plugged into my computer so when I play my keyboard through Logic, sound comes out of my computer external speakers and not the keyboard speakers(I turn the keyboard volume off).  The problem I described happens for the various virtual instruments I have tried, strings, woodwinds, pianos etc.  In the Logic audio settings it says
    Output Device:  Built in Output
    Input Device:  Built in Microphone
    I/O Buffer Size:  256 samples
    When I say the keyboard stops, I mean no sound comes out of my computer speakers for a few seconds.  It is as if someone turns the keyboard off for a few seconds and then back on.  This happens in Logic when Im trying out different virtual instruments.  You are correct when saying it happens only when Logic is running whether I am recording MIDI or just playing and NOT recording.  I hope that makes sense.  It wouldn't be such a huge problem, but it happens so often it makes it hard to play or record something thats longer than 10 seconds.  Thanks for the help.

  • Logic Pro keeps (Not Responding) when launched or opening tracks...

    Running logic Pro 7.2.1 on Power Mac G5 and using a Tascam FW-1884 control surface. During startup logic Pro hangs. Sometime if a song is opened via "Finder" it opens fine, but most times it just hangs. Also, not sure if this is related, but all logic pop-up window have this funky maroon color and its hard to read the text and button can't be seen at all.
    PLEASE help!!!!!! Production DOWN!
    -Chico

    I had many problems with my Mac G5 2.7 refurb/Logic 7.2.1 when I first got it back in March. Although my problems were different than yours some things I remember doing that helped:
    Trashing Logic's preferences fixed a situaution where my Logic windows were flashing randomly and Midi info was corrupted causing my Mackie Control Universal and my Korg Triton to freak out Logic.
    Repairing disk permissions because 2 times Logic did not totally install correctly. Yes I reinstalled Logic at least 4 times to figure out why I was having freezeups system wide.
    Working closely with Apple Care documenting my problems and finally getting my local Apple store in our local Mall to change out the motherboard, dual processors and optical drive. Yes essentially a new computer. Since that time I have not had one system wide freezeup (any wood around here)
    or major problem.
    AT one point running the "Quick Test" from Apple's startup disc showed a Bad RAM chip. Again not related to you but running the test could show something.
    I have 2 issues left to fix - Logic 7.2.1 for me has a transposition problem. Midi tracks will show up after I open a song file transposed down a step. The fix is to reboot Logic which is a pain. 2nd - Annoying beep coming from my power supply. Beep is audible in studio near the tower and is also in the audio chain coming out of speakers. No fix yet but again I'm working with Apple Care.

  • Logic Pro midi start/stop remote

    I would like to start and stop (and even record) in logic with MIDI-commands from my keyboard (Roland RD-700GX).
    The keyboard has several midi buttons which are progammable but the message which is sent, is not a controler or SysEx but the start/stop status bytes of the MIDI-protocol. Logic cannot recognise these messages. Is there any trick or what can I do to work around this problem.

    voss.audio wrote:
    (look at FAH and FCH!)
    Well I downloaded the Midi Implementation manual and it says that these the S1 and S2 buttons send this messages for start/stop. They are labeled as "Real Time Midi messages" but I could not understand if they are MMC ones for this device. If it is standard MMC it must looks like:
    *MMC messages*
    An MMC message (that is sent to, or generated by, an MMC device) is:
    *F0 7F deviceID 06 command F7*
    The third byte is the Device ID.
    The fifth byte is the command:
    01 Stop
    02 Play
    03 Deferred Play
    04 Fast Forward
    05 Rewind
    06 Record Strobe (Punch In)
    07 Record Exit (Punch out)
    08 Record Ready (Record Pause)
    09 Pause
    0A Eject
    0B Chase
    0F MMC Reset
    40 Write
    44 Locate/Go to
    47 Shuttle
    Where the Roland Device ID is 41 as far as I remember.
    You can try the S1 & S2 start/play function but first enable "Listen to MMC Input" logic sync setting ( see the pic below ).
    I downloaded the User Manual of the RD-700GX as well, so in page 103 I found "Transmitting the Control Change (USER CC)". can you try to assign for S1 & S2 buttons ? If yes then assign CC13 for S1 and CC14 for S2 ( values 0 for example ). After that try to learn the Logic Keycommands dialog for play stop using this buttons - see my first post picture.

  • Logic Pro does not start up and wants to activate trial

    Hi,
    Today, somehow my Logic Pro 7 stopped running regualrely after working perfectely for over 2 years and some months on my new macbook.
    I wanted to start up logic an hour or so ago, XS key plugged in aswell, and instead of starting, it stopped with loading buffer size and displays something like "klick here if you want to activate a trial before buying Logic".
    I think this is kind of strange, because also neither my computer nor my key have been connected to the internet or so and so i have not done any upgrades for the software or so. I don't know if it is just on the macbook or if it won't run either on any other computer.
    Did anybody ever come across this problem or did you hear about it and have advice for me??
    thanks in advance,
    Johannes

    Ok, the problem seems indeed to be related with the XSkey.
    Today I tried to run Logic Pro on another Computer with my XSkey, but it neither works there.
    Logic asks me if I want to try it out for a limited amount of time before buying it, but It is a bought Version already...
    The problem at the moment is that I will need Logic next week and I don't see a way to get it running, although the macs it occured with were not my Powermac at home I'm gonna use then.
    Just, I read something about XSkeyupdater on a link List in this Forum or so, so could this maybe be something that could help???
    So, if somebody got an answer to my problem pls tell me.
    Kind regards,
    Johannes

  • Macbook 1,83 Quatafire 610 Logic Pro Midi Problem

    I use an Esi Quatafire 610 with my Macbook (1,83 Intel Dual Core) and Logic Pro 7.2.3. Since
    the last Systemupdate (10.4.10) and Securityupdates, the Midi-Interface of the Quatafire have
    "hang ons" at Port 1. Port 2 seems to be ok. I tried the Quatafire with my G5 (2,0 Dual) and
    don´t have any Problem here. So the Quatafire itsself seems to be ok.
    I also installed the Audio-Update for Intel machines but this was no solution. Does anyone
    know something about this problem? The Quatafire works with Apple Core-Midi drivers.

  • Logic Pro 8 not opening project file

    Logic Pro 8 is not opening a project file of mine. As Logic is loading, I am watching the "progress" window which reveals all of the audio and sample files from the project as they are loading up. There is a particular .caf file that seems to get the moving grey and white bar stuck in the "progress" window. As a result, the project won't open. Prior .caf files appeared to load with no problem, so I used Sherlock and found the .caf file on my hard drive. Somehow, it's not being noticed by Logic during load up. Is there anyway to bypass the loading of certain audio files so I can at least get the Project open? I did a lot of editing that I would REALLY hate to lose. If I can get the project file open then I could place the audio back in later. When I found the problem .caf, Apple Loop Utility opened and revealed the file as being modified on 11/3/2010. All I did was drag the file to the arrange window. It wasn't cut or split in the window; so I am unsure as to what the "modification" could be. This may be contributing to why Project file won't open. Any help on how I could get the Project to open (despite the problem .caf flile) would be greatly appreciated.

    Try starting Logic & your project while holding down the ctrl key.

  • Logic pro 9 not currently available in the Australian store

    Not sure if anyone can help as this seems to be a bit of a recurring issue worldwide from what I can tell (across various countries stores), but here goes.
    My MacBook recently died and I am now using a new iMac. Amoungst other programs, I had purchased Logic Pro 9 from the Australian App Store in early 2012 and had installed it on my old MacBook. Given the MacBook no longer boots up (I know, a different issue to be sorted out another time), I know find myself needing to install it on the iMac.
    When I log into my Apple account/ID, 'Logic Pro' appears under the 'Purchases' tab, hgowever when I select the 'Install' button on the right, it doesn't seem to do anything (it greys out and then goes back to the original button state saying INSTALL). I then click on the software title (i.e. Logic Pro) on the left-hand side of the screen and it presents a message as follows:
    Item Not Available - The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian Store.
    I spent considerable money on this product and do not wish to buy the new version (i.e. Logic Pro X).
    Is there a way I can download a version of Logic Pro 9 from the Australian Store?

    Its worth noting that while Logic Pro 9 itself will not be available in the App store to purchase.. because it is no longer sold (which is what you saw when you clicked on the icon itself) it should still be available under the purchased tab.. (which by your description, it is) so you can download and install it again, having purchased it prior to it being discontinued.
    Make sure you have run iTunes first and signed in there using your Apple ID and password..and authorized tthe new Mac via the iTunes menu option... and you may have to agree to the terms and conditions first before you can actually downlaod it from the App store's purchased tab... This is a known quirk of how the App Store works.... that you must agree to the terms and conditions on a new Mac and may have to authorize that computer in iTunes before the App Store app will function correctly.

  • 9.1.6 - Eligible Logic Pro version not found

    9.1.6 will not update on my computer.
    I am getting the following; An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.
    Obviously I have a completely legit, bought from Apple boxed version of Logic Pro (9) that I have been using. And all updates have been fine till now.
    Any thoughts?

    For the Update to work Successfully Logic Pro should be in your Applications Folder...
    and Logic Pro should look like this...

  • Logic Pro 8 NOT working w/ Fast Track Ultra

    I'm new to producing music and i got the older logic pro 8 from a friend today. The problem started when I tried to play a sound and nothing would come out from my Bx8's. I know its not b/c of the system preferences on my macbook cuz i can still play music on my itunes and sounds will still come out from things on the internet. Also, I went to LogicPro>> Preferences>> Audio and i made sure the device was on M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. When i put the device to Built-in Output i get sound so I know it has something to do with logic. If someone could guide me through this it would be GREAT.

    I think you've turned things around. The topic title should read "Fast Track Utra not working with Logic".
    Since Logic does produce audio when you route to Built In, that means that the FTU is the culprit. Have you installed the right, most recent drivers for it? Not from disk, but DLed from the M-Audio site? And what exact OS X and Logic version do you use?
    regards, Erik.

  • Logic Pro 9 not seeing Avid Artist Mix

    Hi Guys,
    I've never posted in a forum before but I'm having some major trouble with getting my Avid Artist Mix Controller and Logic Pro 9 to communicate with each other.  I've tried all sorts of things, set up a static IP address for the mix and computer, trying different start up combinations, uninstalling and re-installing Eucontrol and nothing seems to be working, this controller just sits on my desk displaying nothing and doing absolutely nothing.  Here's what I've found so far in regards to it's behavior:
    The Artist Mix IS connected to my computer, everything in my Network Preferences is green and when I open Eucontrol it's listed under My Surfaces as MC Mix. My computer is listed under work stations.  Upon device start up the Artist Mix displays the Avid logo, however when Eucontrol starts up and connects the display on the Artist Mix goes dark.  Upon opening Logic I see "Starting up Eucon Support" on the splash screen but then once it's open the Artist Mix DOES NOT do anything.  When searching for the Euphonix or Avid devices in Logic's "Control Surfaces" Preference window I see a list of multiple different control surfaces (i.e. Mackie, Yamaha, etc) but no Euphonix or Avid devices.  Also, I can open Eucontrol settings just fine before starting up Logic, however post Logic start up results in Eucontrol freezing and requiring a Force Quit, even after I've quit Logic.  If anyone has any light to shine on this subject it would be infinitely appreciated.  I've spent the past three days scouring the interenet for answers with zero success, Trying to get a hold of Avid Support which seems impossible (and expensive), and trying a bunch of "hunch" or "mildly informed" remedies of my own and nothing seems to be working.  So far, I just have an incredibly expensive paperweight.
    Here are my specs:
    Computer:
    Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHZ Intel Core I5
    8 GB RAM
    Running OSX 10.9.2
    Eucontrol:
    Eucontrol Version 3.1.0
    Artist Mix:
    Firmware up to date 1.5.2
    Logic Pro:
    Logic Pro Version 9.1.8

    I have the same problem with Logic 10.0.7 OSX 10.8 and eucon 3.1.3. It doesn't work and I have test some combination startup. There are some news? Thank you very much
    This solution posted above, seems to work very well... if you follow them exactly as stated.
    I use artist mix in Logic Pro X and works fine, BUT I did have some initial problems. Firstly use latest eucon software. Then turn app nap off on the eucon application icon, after that, I switch mc mix on first, then mac, let it do it's stuff, then run eucon ( not auto load eucon). When eucon recognises mc mix, then load Logic Pro x.
    Cheers..

  • Logic Pro will not launch

    Hello everyone. I just tried launching my Logic Pro application and a window popped up that said:
    This version of Logic Pro requires Pro Application Support 4.0 (687.0) or newer.
    ProKit: 589.0
    I'm currently using Logic Pro 8.0.2 I've tried updating and now I'm wondering if I should just uninstall and reinstall? If so, I'm wondering how to approach the task? Thanks for the input take care.

  • Logic Pro 9 - Not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units.

    Hi
    I have the program Logic Pro 9 version 9.1.6 (1700.43) (32- bit)
    I use plugins like for example SampleTank and Realstrat . Everything has until recently worked fine, but I now have a problem.
    When I choose a plugin I usually put the mouse on the box 'Inserts', press ALT and then a menu appears. Here I, among many menu items, at the bottom see ' Audio Units ' . At this point I usually could choose, for example SampleTank , .. but now I can only choose Apple features. That is to say - I can not choose my plugins in this menu anymore.
    I've been around online and search . Here I was recommended to delete a file called com.apple.audiounits.cache . I have done this, but the problem is not solved.
    I also have updated the operating system with latest MacOSX10.7.5 update . This has not helped .
    All my plugins are also visible in Logic Audio Units Manager, and I can see that they are being loaded when Logic starts up.
    The plugins also still works in projects created within the problem occurred. That is, - I can open for example SampleTank in a track in a project that is created and a half years ago.
    So the exact problem is that I, in new projects, is not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units .
    Can you help me solve this problem?

    Yes, often. That is why it is very obvious and simple for any experienced user.

    I do not think it is complicated at all. And you do not have to press down for several seconds. I just timed, it is 0.4 seconds of clickholding. The holding is functional:  you won't load a new instrument (and possiblly loose any work you had done on your sound) just because you accidentally clicked on a slot.

    What is your view about these things?
    You are basically saying it should be dumbed down to the level of some "any-kid-or-adult-idiot-can-use-it-out-of-the-box" smartphone app. I think you are overlooking that this is a Pro program, not a toy. I think you try to blame the software for the fact that you didn't know how to operate it. You're avoiding responsability. That's my view.

  • Logic Pro 9 not showing on "Purchases" at Mac App Store anymore

    I'm planning buy a new Mac, but I have Logic Pro 9.1.8, and when I open the "Purchases" (from Mac App Store) I can not find it there any more since Logic Pro X was released. How should I proceed? I don't wanna buy the new version right now, maybe later.
    Is there a nice way to backup it up and move to the new Mac? Because as I said, it's gone from my purchases since Logic Pro X was released, and I have only one Apple ID account. And even old things like the Mac OS X Lion Server I bought is there. But strangely Apple removed Logic Pro from my account "purchases"... I spend 180 bucks on that.
    PS: I know that I can move it using Time Machine. But my computer is a bit messy, so I would like to install Logic Pro 9 again from the Mac App Store if it's still possible. Sometimes a fresh new install is the better way to start a new computer, because my experiences with Time Machine are that sometimes you can also migrate problems from an old to a new computer. So I would prefer some advice about how to move only Logic Pro 9 and nothing else... because the rest I can install from scratch. :-)

    Hey Blueberry...
    However the "hide" checkbox is right next to the download option, you probably clicked on it by accident at some point.
    Interesting because I have no 'hide' checkbox.. I have to right click on the App's bar in the Purchases Tab to show a dropdown with 'Hide Purchase' instead...
    Looks like this... in Mavericks... App Store version 1.3..... and 10.8.4/5 ... App Store version v1.2.2
    Did they update the App at some point to remove the X?
