Logic pro x splitting keyboard

Can anyone help me set me setup keyboard, Trying to set up so it plays strings on left side and guitar on right hand side.
System logic pro X
Keyboard m audio keystudio
Tried looking on YouTube:
cheers mark

- Go to file and choose >New<
select >Software Instrument< >Number of tracks: 2<
- Rename track 1 >Guitar<
- Rename track 2 >Strings<
- Select the track >Guitar< and to the left in the parameter pane enable >Track:<
- click hold (C-2) next to >Key Limit< and adjust the lowest note for the Guitar track (for instance to C3)
now the KeyLimit should read C3 G8;
(to adjust you have to click hold on the note letter and roll the mouse up/down)
- Select the track >String<
- click hold (G-8) next to >Key Limit< and adjust the highest note for the String track (for instance to B2)
now the KeyLimit should read C-2 B3;
- record enable both tracks
- with the Guitar track selected insert an instrument;
- with the String track selected insert a different instrument;
And if you've followed my instructions you will hear two different instrument when playing on your keyboard. With the split point at B2/C3.
Good luck

Logic Pro X midi keyboard (EXS24 help)

So im new to logic (December 2013) and have been using it to make some hip hop beats. I use a akai mpk25 keyboard with logic pro x. I have been using the EXS24 sampler a lot in my production. I have saved many sampler instrumentals with different kicks, snares, percussion etc. And for the longest time the left most key on my mpk was C2 inside of logic. And all my exs instruments started with C2 and worked its way down so every key played a different sound. Now randomly, dont know what I did but its saying that leftmost key is C1 and when i hit the keys on the left side of my keyboard no sounds come out until i get to about the middle of the keyboard where the new C2 is..... Probably an easy fix but i dont know Im a rookie lol. Only like half the sounds will play in all my sampler instruments and i would appreciate some help. thanks

While it could be Logic, have you checked your keyboard manual and see if you accidently hi the transpose buttone or octave change button. I would look there first

When I am using Logic Pro my midi keyboard is touch sensitive.

How do i get it to play the same pressure throughout?
As in, no matter how hard i touch the midi keyboard note i wish logic to record the same note pressure all the time.
Thanks

OK, you've actually not clarified it. It is still unclear if you mean velocity or aftertouch (aka pressure)
Velocity is how quick/forceful you play a key. You seem to mean this, judging from your second sentence.
Aftertouch (aka Channel Pressure, or, rarer, Polyphonic Pressure)* is the force with which you HOLD the keys down (that's why it is called after-touch). If you mean velocity, then my guide will do what you ask. Have you tried it?
* Most cheaper MIDI controllers and synths don't have aftertouch, and only some top enders have polyphonic aftertouch (=every key with individual AT-sensor)

Logic Pro Home based studio on 10K budget

Continuation of discusson from:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=436969&tstart=15
I will sumarize in the next message.

I think anyone would love to have this setup, but I can't resist a few comments:
I think an appropriate setup, without buying any
truly cheap stuff, would be more like $6000.
Example:
- Mac mini CoreDuo, 2G RAM, keyboard, mouse $1160
- 20" Dell Monitor $500
- external hard drive $200
- Focusrite Saffire $400
- monitors $900 (lots of good choices)
- Rode NTK $500
- cables, etc $200
- Logic Pro $900
- MIDI keyboard $500 (Fatar)
- some more software, samples $900
For the price of a Mini, 2G of RAM, and a $500 monitor, you can get a 17" iMac with 2G of RAM. (I went to the store with my heart set on a mini and walked out with the iMac for this reason.)
There's no need for an external hard drive right off the bat. They are only getting cheaper and bigger while you wait.
Few people need more than two simultaneous inputs, and fewer still need more than two outputs. For $400, the Saffire looks like a pretty awesome deal. I think I'd feel a little cramped with this setup though. I'm thinking some day you may want to have a buddy or two over with his guitar for a little jam; you'd be wishing you had some more mics. For just a little more you can get a Mackie Onyx 1220 with four mic pres and four stereo inputs, all of them running simultaneously.
I would also recommend getting a dynamic (an SM58 is as good as any) and a pair of good cheap condensers for X-Y recording, in addition to your main mic. One really expensive mic isn't as good as four or five decent ones.
(Don't forget that your mac will have a pair of 24/192 input, and the mini also has a S/PDIF input.)
If you are going to spend money for a nice keyboard controller, forget buying a controller. I would put the extra money into a cheap digital piano like a Roland RD-300 or a Yamaha P-series. Dedicated MIDI controllers have poor keyboard actions, and the RD will absolutely blow away the audio quality of the piano in EXS24 while using zero of your CPU. Plus, you have a real zero-latency piano in your studio for when you just want to play.
I think 1200 for monitors as budhalite suggested is a little over the top, but I'll admit that I am saving up for a pair of HR824's right now. I don't like the events as much.
And finally, something I discovered when I set up my first studio, almost nobody ever correctly estimates how much they need to spend on wire. In a small pro studio or a moderately large home studio, wire and patchbays can add up to more than the computer.
When you get your dream studio set up, you will find that all sorts of things you never thought of will become weakest links. Soundproofing, room size, computer fan noise, the guy nextdoor with the CB hobby. There will always be something to spend that next pension check on.

\ does not split regions in logic pro 8 how do I fix this

My \ does not split regions in logic pro 8 how do i fix this ?

Hi,
did you check the keyboard shortcuts? You can specify each and every key in Logic, and maybe your key mapping has simply set the split regions to another key.

How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

Hi,
Hit the Caps Lock key.

Keyboard keys are not working correctly in Logic Pro X 10.0.6

I was trying to use my MIDI keyboard but for some reason the "A flat" key above "Middle C" no longer works properly in Logic.
At first I thought it was my keyboard but I tried the same key in Reasons and Pro Tools and it works fine in both of these programs.
I tired to see if it would work in Logic Pro 9 but it does not work in Logic Pro 9 either. Prior to my Logic Pro X 10.0.6 update it did work fine.
I don't know what the issue is because it is working fine with the other programs. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go 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 X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure and delete both files.
(Note: I would first try and delete the control surface preference only, no sense deleting preferences if you don't need to. Also, be sure and use the tilde ~ in the file path above.)

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.

[Logic Pro X 10.0.3] How do I midi out to external keyboard?

I want to play the midi files in Logic Pro X 10.0.3, then via a USB MIDI dock to external keyboard's speaker.
How do I set the path in Logic pro X 10.0.3?

Without that option you cannot do so automatically.....

Every other time I type cmd k for keyboard in Logic Pro X, the track that is selected is muted.

The title kind of says it all. Every other time that I press the shortcut for onscreen keys, the selected track is muted. By that I mean if I press cmd+k it brings up the keyboard unmuted, then press cmd+k to get rid of it and it's still fine, but the next time I press cmd+k to bring the keyboard back up, the track is muted.
Only noticed this today, and don't know what I did. Please Help!

Figured it out! On the menu bar I clicked Logic Pro X > Control Surfaces > Learn Assignment for "Mute", which meant that I Mute was the last command that I had clicked on. In the (No Zone) section, there was a Learned Assignment, and I simply clicked delete and it disappeared. Now everything is just fine.

I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
And driver? OS X driver?

How to hear midi keyboard in Logic Pro 9?

Hi folks,
I'm a bit new to this, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm trying to use my midi keyboard in conjunction with Logic Pro 9. So far I have connected my keyboard's midi output to my Komplete 6 interface (which is connected to Logic). Logic is clearly picking up whatever I'm doing on the keyboard - I just can't hear it back. I'm guessing there is probably a very simple solution that I am stupidly not realising ...
Would one of you brilliant people mind helping a novice like me?
Thank you!

TS4628 onscreen keyboard does not work in logic pro x

onscreen keyboard has stopped working in logic pro x - latest version.
There is no indication of midi in or out on control bar when keys pressed.
also, certain keys do register do not trigger from outboard keyboard instrument.
when playing back tracks, the relevant keys auto depress on the onscreen keypad.
audio output is fine on the system. all keys on piano roll keyboard work fine.
The onscreen keyboard works fine in garageband
have reset all midi assignments in prefs.
have reinstalled the program but the issue remains

You have either installed a midi controller that is over riding things or you are running an iOS App that is interfering....
Turn off all iOS devices to test for iOS App
Delete CS prefs to test for conflicting Midi Controller issues...
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go 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 X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.

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.

Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
Thanks!

Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...
