Logic X Staff Styles for drum kit: can't position?

I'm new to Logic but l I believe I'm doing this right and have hit a bug. By default, the snare drum is mapped to what would be a "b" in treble clef. I'd like this to be mapped to a "c". To change this, I open Staff Styles and edit the mapped style for drums. The snare group is at position "-4" by default, which I believe means it is four steps down from the the top staff line. I want to change this to -3 to move it up to a "c". I can change the value by clicking and dragging the -4, but when I do this, instead of the note moving up, it snaps to the top (position 0) and stays there. If I close this window and re-open it, sure enough, logic has assigned a zero to the position. No change seems to affect it, and if I save a project like this the snare group is forever at position zero, basically ruining the project.
Has anyone experienced this? Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug? If it's a bug, does anyone know a work-around?
Thanks for any insight,
Brian.

Confirmed bug in LPX 10.0.7 ( works as expected in 10.0.6)
There is a *very* clunky workaround:
Create a new Mapped Instrument object in the MIDI Environment and cable it up to the required software Instrument channel object.
Drag the Mapped interment object from the Environment and drop it on the required track in the Track area track list ( to route the track via the new mapped instrument object)
Edit the snare entries in the mapped instrument object: up 0.5 transposition)
This change is not immediately updated in the Score; you have to change the staff style to any other one then re-apply the #drums style.

Ultrabeat in Logic Pro X is missing drum kits

Hi,
So recently, I got Logic Pro X because I've been meaning to try producing house music with it. I was introduced to Ultrabeat in some tutorials saying to click the dropdown menu (at the top) and select 01 drum kits and choose Trance Kit 02. However, when I click the dropdown menu, I seem to only have 8 samples in the drum kit and none of them sound good at all. Why do I have only 8? I've seen other discussions where people have up to 25+, is this something that I can download from the additonal content? And if so, what is it called?
Many Thanks!
MChen.

Try Drum Machine
....and also the Logic Studio 2 Compatibility Sounds and Instruments found under the Legacy entry.... along with the GB 11 Sounds and instruments.. and finally the Instruments found under Jam pack 1, Jam Pack Remix and Jam Pack Rhythm,
Also make sure the Essential Sounds and Instruments set has downloaded completely too...
Personally, if you have the space, I'd download all the content... as there is so much on offer for free... that you may find useful in the future.

Trouble with Slurs when Changing the Staff Style

Hello,
I'm exploring the LP8 score editor and find that it is VERY impressive!
My goal is to use Logic for everything, instead of having to dole out the score duties to Sibelius or Finale. After reading the manual, I've found that LP8 is designed for just that! With the display quantization settings and the other "tips" that it offered, the manual showed me that LP8's score editor is formidable indeed!
One issue (and maybe I missed this in the manual) that I'm having is changing the staff style for my parts. The manual says that this is an ideal way to print parts because you can change the key, transposition, etc. Writing for full orchestra, this seems (forgive the unintended pun) "Logical."
This issue I'm having is that my slurs do not move with my notes when I change the staff style. For example: let's say I have a theme in a MIDI region that is using the "treble" staff style. I have dynamics and slurs everywhere. Then I want to give this to an Alto Sax so I select the MIDI region and change the staff style to "Alto Sax." While the key signature and the notes change in a very "correct" looking way. The slurs I put in remain in their original locations. This is a bit discouraging because it means a lot of work to fix them before I can print the part out.
I've tried "selecting equal" events in the edit drop down menu. This almost works, but it does not discriminate between slurs up and slurs down.
If someone could please let me know what they do with slurs in general, and especially what they do when creating parts with them that would be great.
Thanks in advance!

I'm a HUGE advocate of Logic's score editor, but depending on the type of music you're writing you'll find that there are certain things that it just can't do. To this effect, there may be times when it will just be easier to send your music to a Finale/Sibelius copyist to put the finishing touches on your score/parts, i.e., those things that you must have in your score but which Logic can't do, such as wavy-line glissando markings for harp parts, tram marks (for separating systems on a conductor's score), alternative pedal markings for piano, etc. (up/down marks), and others.
Should you ever get to that point, check out a program called PDFtoMusicPro. It will take a PDF file from Logic and translate it into an XML file that can be read by Finale, etc., including slurs, key signatures, dynamic markings, etc. It's pretty fantastic!
This issue I'm having is that my slurs do not move with my notes when I change the staff style... \[snip]
Yup, it's a problem. The best approach is to use the transposing staff styles and do your markup on them. Of course, if you're preparing a C score then none of that matters.

Multiple Split Points in Staff Styles

I have just recorded a piano solo with my m-audio keystation in Logic. However some of the notes I need in the bass clef are stuck in the treble clef (and vice versa). I know you can set a split point in staff styles, but I need to make the split point change throughout the piece.
What's the best way to go about doing this?

Hmm you really should read the manual about all this.
Ok:
Select the region you've cut - open the Score editor in the bottom window of your Arrange - in the Inspector at the upper left of your Arrange you can choose the staff styles for each region - click on the little downwards arrow of e.g. Instrument 1->style->choose a staff style - then change to page view and you will see your score without breaks/new clefs. I ususally setup a screenset with the Score editor in page view and another Screenset with the Arrange page and the Score editor opened at the bottom.
You can also open your staff style editor with a Keycommand - the same counts for the Instrument set editor. Once you've understood this principle you'll find faster ways of editing your score - open the Score editor at the bottom and just click into the different bars - the corresponding regions in the Arrange will get selected and you can quickly change staff styles.
Here is a screenset showing you where to choose the different staff styles:
to change to page view click on the symbol on the far right next to Midi out - it turns blue when activated:

Assigning Staff Styles

I'm still having problems trying to assign separate staff styles to individual regions from the same track. The book says:
+To assign a staff style (predefined or user-created) to a MIDI region:+
+1 Select the MIDI region.+
+2 Choose the desired staff style from the Style parameter pop-up menu in the Display+
+Parameter box.+
However, when I do this, beginning with the first region in the track (there are 3), all three regions take on the most recent staff assignment. I've made two duplicate styles of "lead sheet," and I select my first region, then select the staff style I want for it (lead sheet), then select the second region and select the staff style I want for it (lead sheet2) and when I do, the first region no longer maintains the "lead sheet" designation, rather it also becomes "lead sheet2." it is possible to assign different staff styles to separate regions in the same track correct?

CCT
Got it. THANK YOU. I was hung up thinking that the staff styles would be the same in both the arrange and score track parameter windows, but they are not linked. So...you can only choose one staff style for an entire track in the arrange, but if you highlight regions, you can break up the staff styles in score huh? The arrange then just gets the basic staff range of the part you are recording, and the score does all the non-destructive editing for what's printed. Also, now that the styles are set, I was able to create the space (you helped me out with this on a previous post) between the staffs in score, not only through space above and below the staff, but by grabbing and dragging the staff region in score.
Oh happy day...what next

How do I change the midi staff style from piano (i.e. bass and treble clef) to a drum score?

Is there a way to change the staff style in Logic Pro 9 from piano to drums?
In the score window I have tried selecting layout then staff styles... then clicking the downward arrow next to piano and changing to drums (but there is no box to select apply changes), I then back out and it still displays and uses a piano score.
Also is there some sort of setting I can apply so that Logic acts with some Logic... i.e. if I'm using a drum audio instrument then the score editor automatically changes to a drum score, similarily with bass and bass clef?

If I understand you write, you are looking for remapping of the incoming MIDI messages.
So your MIDI Drum Kit is connected to your Mac and sends MIDI messages
A few question:
What MIDI Note message is your drum kit sending when you hit the kick drum, or lets ask, what note "should" it send? Record a MIDI Region while playing your kick drum. Open the Piano Roll Editor and look up what MIDI note that is.
Can you change the assignment on your Drum Kit, i.e. set what MIDI note is send by each drum kit peice?
What MIDI Instrument are you using for the drums in GarageBand?
Do you know what MIDI note is assigned to the Snare sound (D1 ?)
A the end it is about matching the sending note (send from the kick drum) to the expected receiving note (assigned to the snare sound). Changin Cable wouldn't do anything. Either you have to change the receiving mapping (hard to do in GB), or change the sending not from the Kick Drum (should be possible).
Hope that helps

Can't set staff style preferences

I'm trying to score a choral arrangement, so I need two treble channels, two bass and one for the piano. The style settings in the inspector windows both in the arrange window and the score window will not reset.
The style in the arrange window says "Auto" and shows "Treble" no matter what I choose in the menu. The score window style preference names "piano" no matter what instrument I've chosen, and, likewise, any other setting will not "take" when I try to change it. (I started by using a piano from the software instrument menu for the track channel but then tried a guitar to see if I could get a lead sheet setting, but no.)
I tried opening a new project and copying and pasting my regions into it, but it did the same thing.
According to everything I've read, this should be a very easy thing to do, but it's not working for me.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate it if you can help. Thanks!
Janet

OK, let me try again. Pardon my terminology in the last post. I haven't had much sleep and I'm very frustrated with this.
I'm trying to arrange a choral piece, so I need single staves for soprano, alto, tenor, bass. Some of the notes on these staves will go below the normal range, but I still need them to only be one staff, not a double. In the arrange window, in the track parameter box, "auto" displays "piano," which is the MIDI instrument I chose to compose with, and the pop-up menu (if that is what it is called here) now displays "soprano" in the clef field. When I open the score window, the style parameter shows "piano" and the parameter shows two staves in the clef field, "treble" and "soprano." I realize that by now I have tried to change the the thing so many times that everything is probably hopelessly confused. I want the score to display one treble staff, with the soprano notes that happen to go lower (like A3) on added lines at the bottom, not as a whole separate clef.
Somehow I accomplished this with one of my songs, writing a lead sheet, but I'm darned if I can figure out how. I'm using Logic 8. I have tried moving the regions into a new project but it doesn't help.
Do I need to reinstall? Have I screwed things up interminably? Will somebody please help?

How can I record and edit using an electronic drum kit to midi on a windows based PC (That I will eventually use in Garageband)?

Hi there
I know this isnt really a Garagband question and possibly a little off GB topic, but in the end I will be using the midi file in Garageband so it kind of is
I'm new to Midi recording so please bare with me.
I am looking to do the following.
Have my drummer record from his Session Pro DD505 electronic drum kit (which has a midi out) into his windows based computer via midi (He owns a usb to midi cable), so that he can then email me the midi file, so I can add it to a song in Garageband on my Mac. I will then choose the sound of the drum kit myself from Garageband.
He needs to be able to correct any errors he has made in the midi file before emailing it me, either by re-recording sections or by moving the incorrect drum notes to the correct beat.
I guess he would need to be able to hear the song that he is playing along to, and possibly have a click track playing at the same time.
So I guess what I am looking for is some FREE windows software to be able to record midi drum files into, that can also be used to edit the midi file after. A separate free piece of software could also be used to edit the drum midi files instead though.
I know that I can correct the midi drum files myself in Garageband, but I would rather my drummer spent the time doing this, not myself.
I've spent a bit of time googling this today but keep bringing up the wrong things as I'm probably using the wrong search terms.
So, any ideas?
thanks

You will be able to use the Cubase AI4 with any audio interface. Another option is to look for a 30 day demo of software like Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/index.php It won't stop after 30 days... just your concience needs to respond
Problem is though that if all you want to record is the MIDI then your drummer will also need some drum sounds in the form of a software instrument or a 3rd party VST to load into the recording software. So another program that comes uncrippled but has drum sounds in it is Ableton Live http://www.ableton.com/products However this can be an intimidating piece of software and it also cripples itself after 30 days.

Using Xbox Mad Catz Drum kit as drum controller for Garageband - Help!

Trying to get Snow leopard to recognise the mad catz portable drum kit - once it is recognised as a midi file i can then use it to play garageband drums!
Read online of a 2 stage solution to use a mapping programme and keyboard typing, the problem is i can't get the mac to recognise the USB controller.
In Sysprefs/usb it gives the name and id, but the '360 controller' converter is installed but nothing shows up in the available controller field, probably because the plist file (system/library/extensions)doesn't include it.
So i tried duplicating a device entry in the list with the right name and id - but still nada.
The controller lights for a second on plugging in and then nothing.
In "about this mac/usb" it says
+Mad Catz Portable Drum Kit:+
+Product ID: 0x9871+
+Vendor ID: 0x0738+
+Version: 4.10+
+Serial Number: 0B97EB42+

+Manufacturer: Mad Catz, Inc.+
+Location ID: 0xfd313000+

Any ideas?
I want to be able to play drums with this thing by various midi mapping, but am stuck. Any ideas?
(yes i know i could buy a set of midi drums for £200, but aren't you tempted by a £10 solution that stacks away in a little box?)

Have you found a solution to this?
It would be awesome to link my madcatz portable drum to my mac!

I want to add a china/splash/extra tom to drum kit - how can I do that?

I need to be able to able to add/play china/splash/extra toms in a drum kit. How do I go about this? I already have samples for all of the instruments/pieces I want to add, but don't know how I can control all at the same time. I play a lot of real-time MIDI w/ a keyboard so it doesn't make sense to have the extra pieces in EXS while playing the drums w/ DKD.
Anyone help with this?
Thanks

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

Why do all of the drum kits in Logic Pro X have a delay? All of my drum hits (drum kits only, not drum machine) are behind the beat.

When I turn on the metronome, it's in sync with EVERYTHING except the drum kits.
Is anyone else having this problem?
When I change the plugin on the these tracks to a LPX drum machine or to a 3rd party drum plugin the problem goes away.

Is Plug-in Latency Compensation enabled?
