Logic Pro X - Only drum machines do not respond on MIDI controller

98% of the time, when I load a drum machine, only a few of the keys on my MIDI controller will respond with sounds. If I switch to any other instrument patch, all keys work perfectly, but when I switch back, it's still spotty. I've disconnected and reconnected, restarted Logic, restarted the computer, and opened new sessions. Anyone have any advice?

Ahh.. ok, it was hard to tell from your original post.
When loaded are you seeing any notifications that samples are missing?
Could possibly by Logic/controller related. (Is this Logic-X?)
Try deleting Logic's preferences:
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.
If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
be sure to delete both files.

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Pancenter,
Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Tonewheel Organ Not Responding To Midi Controller

Hi Logic's EVB3 Tonewheel organ is not responding to my midi controller. it works fine if you input midi notes but i am unable to tiger the organ with the controller. which works fine with all of logic's other instruments. any help appreciated thanks lolly.

Please search before posting, this is a very common new user problem and there are countless threads on it.
The manual clearly says that the EVB3 responds on three MIDI channels, for the main, secondary and pedal manuals. By default, it's MIDI channels 1, 2, and 3 but the base channel can be changed.
You should be transmitting on MIDI channel 1 to access the main organ manual, so change the MIDI channel your keyboard is transmitting on is the best way.

Logic Pro, the only host to not support midi out from plugins ?

it seems that logic is the only host that does not support midi plugin output.
something to do with the AU spec, lets hope that apple add support for these type of plugins sometime in the near future.

Um, yeah. The Environment.
Sensational.
Here's one set of instructions on how to build a step sequencer using the environment:
http://www.logic-cafe.com/Article_View.asp?ID=6&CategoryID=7
Though I can confirm that it works, that is just so amazingly, utterly, retardedly bass-ackwards (the German phrase is "von hinten durch die Brust ins Auge" - "from behind, through the chest, and into your eye") that it's a perfect example of why I HATED Logic 7 and previous versions:
There was always a way to do almost anything in at least a halfways-working fashion, but you had to actually know one of the engineers at Emagic to have the slightest clue of how to get it done.
Logic 8 is the first version that actually feels like it was built for HUMANs.
In short, I'm afraid that building a step sequencer in the environment really does not qualify as an option.

Logic Pro 7.2.1 Update is not recognizing my 7.2.0 app. HELP!

grrrrr, this is so frustrating!
Logic Pro 7.2.1 Update is not recognizing my 7.2.0 app. Any ideas?

To prevent cheating, the updater checks the receipts
first — receipts files look like regular package
files, but they're actually a list of pointers to the
files installed from that package, together with
their attributes: location, checksums, owner,
permissions, and so on... That's how the repair
permissions function works.
If you messed with your receipts folder, you may be
out of luck: in this case, re-installing everything
will rebuild the receipts and the updating
should take place.
Yet another option would be to use Pacifist:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
• it allows the user to create receipts for [.pkg]
packages
• it can be used to force installation of any file
from a given package
Be aware that Pacifist doesn't run any of the
pre-install, post-install, pre-upgrade, or
post-upgrade scripts, doesn't check already existing
receipts, and doesn't alter the permissions
afterwards, so you'd better know what you're doing...
nice illustration on the repair permissions....

When i try to open my projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found?

when i try to open up a projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found why is this heppends?

This error typically means the audio files you used in this project are no longer found in their original location.. (did you move or delete them?) or you have renamed the audio files..... or they were located on an external HD etcand that drive or disk is no longer available.... because its not plugged in.

Does Logic Studio have a drum machine?

I'm a noob about drum machines and how they are used, but I suppose I will need one. And I would like to know if does Logic comes with a drum machine or if I'll need to add an external drum machine. Thanks in advance for your replies.

The drum machine is called Ultrabeat. On the page and links from the above link you can see some of what is included with Logic Studio.

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding, do anyone have any ideas what problem it can be?

After i upgrade to lion and updated logic pro to version 9.1.6 stops responding when loading "Ryu Chords" it stops responding on certain moment, i tried to reinstall freshly and update to version 9.1.5 but problem same so at this moment version is 9.1.6. I tried 64bit too but no changes. And the thing is that i need studio and i need to sort this problem quick.
Please everybody if you had same problem give me answer or any idea what to do
Thanks

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

Adobe Pro xi on my pc is not responding.

Adobe Pro xi on my PC is not responding.

If Acrobat will not open on Win 8.1 (I am assuming you are talking about XI or X, previous versions do not necessarily work in Win 8.1), then go to the control panel>Programs & Features and run a repair on you Acrobat installation. Once you can open Acrobat, to go the Help and run updates or download 11.0.09 from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install.

Logic Pro X only plays through display speakers, no issue with Logic 9

When I use Logic Pro X, my sound will not play through external speakers or headphones, only through my thunderbolt display.
If I go ahead and use Logic Pro 9, I can play through the display, speakers, or headphones.
Any idea what is going on here?

Logic Pro 9 - MOTU MK II inputs not available in channel strip

I usually use a MOTU 24 i/o as my main Logic Pro 9.1.5 audio interface. I'm trying to use a MOTU MK II and it is connected via firewire. It shows up fine in the Logic > Audio > core audio driver preference and is checked on. However the MKII in/outs are not available on Logic's channel strip inputs and outputs. Logic still shows the 24 i/o's even though the 24 i/o is not selected in audio preferences and is not even turned on.
I've reinstalled the latest MOTU drivers, trashed Logic's preferences and restarted my MacPro but it is still the same. Only the 24 i/o available in the channel strip input and output.
Is there a second audio i/o setting that I'm missing?
My Mic is registering OK in the MKII so I know it is getting a signal.
Thanks,
Richard

For some reason Logic is listing the 24 i/o inputs.
I've renamed the 828 Mk2 1 & 2 inputs to Vox 1 and Vox 2. The MK2 has 8 analog inputs plus two mic/line inputs for a total of ten audio inputs, not 14 as listed in the channel strip input drop down.
Audio registers in and out of the Mk2 but does not register in Logic's channel strip input. I just switched back to the 24 i/o to test and audio registers fine in Logic's channel strip input with the 24 i/o. Just not with the MK2 selected as the audio source.
I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem or if I'm missing an audio input setting somewhere.
Thanks,
Richard

Logic Pro 8 and PT 7.4 not compatible ...

PT 7.4 is out.
Having Logic 8 on a MAC PRO as a front end for PTHD was supposed to happen with PT 7.4 release.
I downloaded it ($79) trying last night to set Logic 8 in the preference. First I set up the Core audio to my 96i I/o, then selected "DAE". then I Had an error -1133 return by the DAE driver.
I never used Logic with PTHD. Because I have an Intel Mac. SO I guess it is either I dont know what i am doing (Which it wont be the first time) or PT 7.4 is not yet compatible with Logic Pro 8 on intel Mac.
which is what probably the case. I read everything I could on the Digi site, there is nothing at all about Logic Pro 8. One deception down, I dont have to worry about this.

Hi,
I am the original one who posted this but, After hours of nothing but frustration
I have the DAE/DTDM working within Logic 8 And PTHD 7.4. (I have a 96i I/O)
If you are intrested in what I did to make it wok this is it:
In Preference>Audio
1. Disable Core Audio
2. Enable DAE Click on TDM Setup Indicator, I choose 24 Bit, and 48 Tracks (3DSPs). You can click on "Digidesign Hardware Set up" if you want to change something But I did'nt
3. Enable Direct TDM and Universal Track Mode.
Limitation and advantages of running Logic 8 as a front end to PTHD: There are two types of tracks - DAE tracks which uses TDM plugins and Direct TDM tracks with are Audio OR Software Instruments they run All Logic 8 Plugins including Sof Instr. You Can also Use a Node on them (I Works). The problem is you Only have * TDM Device channels. Routed as ESB Mono 1 thru 8 or stereo ESB 1-2 thru 7-8. You have to route the Output of the TDM Device track (ESB 1...8) to an Aux track Input 9ESB 1...8), the Logic effectS are in the TDM Device tracks and Prottols TDM plug ins are in the corresponding Aux tracks
Unortunately All Channel Stereo channel are Double Mono which takes more real estate. When Playing a double Mono the even number could be changed to stereo and it work well as such but you cannot get rid of the other Mono track it has to be next to the stereo track.
When creating tracks in DAE you cannot choose stereo, but one selected you can change it in the arrange to stereo.
I hope this help.
Good luck
Eric D

How do you get the piano roll on logic pro x to show 1/64th notes?

On the piano roll in Logic Pro X the grid only shows like 1/16 notes. I want to be able to zoom in and have the grid at 1/64 notes.

Transport is at the top center of the Logic window. If you click on the "/16" which I circled in red, you will get a drop down menu to change the the note length you want.
Your transport may look different and might not have the "/16" right now. I have a custom transport displayed. "Custom" can be selected by clicking the "gear" icon on the left of the transport. Various options for what to display in the transport can be accessed by right-clicking in the transport bar and selecting "customize transport and display." The option you are looking for will be in the "LCD" section - choose "custom" and check the box for "signature division."

Logic Pro X help: Track/File menu not showing up in audio editor. How to fix?

Hello,
I am a amature musician that has been using logic pro for a little while now. I recently tried to use the time and pitch machine to stretch a sample to my project length. I open up the audio editor and behold! No file menu. I have looked through all the mues and I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Has anyone experienced this problem and do they know how to fix it?
Thank you

You are in Track view, where you need to be in File view. Those tabs are just outside of your screenshot, it seems. You must have either an enormous screen or a big screen resolution.
As KC said, flex is a more versatile tool, but if you have a set workflow, then the T&P machine is still there.
