Mapping MIDI sounds in GB3

I record drum tracks via my Roland V-Drums and Cakewalk/Sonar. I save them as .mid files then drag them on to my GB3 app for playback. Does anyone know how to change the instrument assignments in GB3? Not all the sounds from my drum kit are audible and some don't seem to be mapped correctly - trigger the wrong instrument. Is there a way to see/tweak the instrument sounds in GB3? Can this be done via Apple's MIDI Mgr utility? I've tried working w/ a couple of the preset GB3 drum kits(rock, pop kits) but still not sounding right. Would be great if I could create my own GarageBand drum kit that maps 1:1 w/ the instrumentation in my Roland TD-20. Any tips/suggestions? Anyone using GB3 to record V-Drums? And is there a version of GB that works w/ an old G3 iMac DV?
Thanks!

so wait. I can go to a web site that offers
soundfonts(midi sounds right?) and somehow use them
within GB?
That's what I said. Yes.

Saved midi sounds not loading logic9

none of my midi sounds i save in a template gets saved. it defaults back to the first sound on my triton. when i click from one midi track to the next it defaults to the first sound. none of my sound are getting loaded.
what am i doing wrong..

So, here's an update to the problem, and to highlight, I decided to start fresh to demonstrate.
Okay, so, I created a new "concert" and only assigned one keyboard (Keyboard 1). The default sound was, of course, Suitcase Bright. When I select different sounds from 01 Pre-Mapped or 02 Software Instruments, everything seems normal. But, when I select different sounds from the 03 Electric Guitar, 04 Vocal, Audio Channel Strips, and Instrument Channel Strips patch libraries, the yellow Keyboard Layer disappears, and no sound plays like I described before.
So, for example, I went to Instrument Channel Strips > 10 Orchestral > 01 Woodwinds > Bassoon Legato. The Keyboard Layer disappears and there's no sound. Here is where the problem is: Upon further inspection(based on your steps), I went to MIDI Input within the Channel Strip and I discovered that it's automatically creating a new keyboard input (Keyboard 2) which I never created and it just doesn't exist in real life. That's why the Keyboard Layers are disappearing and no sound is coming out; it's trying to automatically move it over to a keyboard that's just not there.
Again, this only happens when selecting sounds from within the 03 Electric Guitar, 04 Vocal, Audio Channel Strips, and Instrument Channel Strips patch libraries. When I select a sound from 01 Pre-Mapped or 02 Software Instruments, the Keyboard Layers reappear and everything goes back to normal.
So, I'm not sure how to fix this ...

How to "assign" MIDI sounds to

I need some help fixing my MIDI drums.
This is my setup: Roland TD-6V --> M-Audio Uno USB MIDI interface --> My macbook.
Recording works well, I can hear the playback of my drums coming out of Logic. That's all good.
But my snare, kick, and ride pads all have the same snare MIDI sound. For whatever reason, Logic thinks those three pads are one and the same. My hi-hat is messed up as well.
I've looked on other threads, did youtube searches, checked Logic's Help, and managed to find my way to the Mapped Environment menu. I changed the Output Notes to my desired drum sounds, yet when they are played, either on my drums or on the Capslock Keyboard, they still play the original, wrong sound.
Please help. If you can help me make my MIDI kit on Logic sound the way it does on my Roland's module, I'll name a song after you (seriously).
Thanks in advance!

You need to create a sampler instrument which maps the samples to notes, and can then be played in the EXS24 sampler.
Read the Instruments manual on the EXS24 and creating sampler instruments for the full skinny.

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

Saving re-mapped midi drums

I have just re-mapped midi drums now how do I save that as a pre-set or save it so I can load it for every session?

Hi,
once you have defined the Lane Set, you can rename it in the Info field.
In order to use that in a new project, you must import it, here how to do:
1) create a new project
2) in File menu choose IMPORT and then OTHER
3) select the project that contain the Lane set you have created
4) in the window that appear on the right, on bottom click on the "Import Project Settings" button
5) Then you can select Lane Sets. That is!
In this way you can select also other things to import, Screensets, Scoresets, and others and others.
Hope this have helped you.

Installation folder not found. Kontaktplayer2 will terminate? I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband.

Kontaktplayer2 will terminate? I can't play any of my midi sounds from Garageband what gives? I downloaded all my midi plugin's to run my M-Audio midi controller, but the patches are gone from GarageBand. I recently had all my files "Migrated" from my old Macbook to my new one and since I have my new Macbook (only a week old) I haven't been able to use the GarageBand patches. Can anyone give me advice?

Matt
If you did a Restore operation using the current version of iPod Updater and you still get the same results, then you should take it back and get a new one.

Editing the waveform of a MIDI sound

Hi all,
I'm trying to edit one of the MIDI sounds, specifically, I want the sound to cutoff sooner rather than having it linger.
What is the best way to do this?
My initial thought is to convert the software instrument (MIDI) into a wave file, then edit that wave file by deleting the "lingering" portion of the sound so that it cuts off the way I want it to. Then I can just paste that sound into the (not sure what it's called exactly) window that has all the tracks. It'd be even better to be able to assign that small wave file to a key on my MIDI controller. I've done something like this on Garageband so I assume it's possible to do on Logic.
Any help on how to pull this off with something similar to what I described above? Or even better, is there a simple way to do this? Thanks!

Hi
What Instrument are you using to create the 'sound'?
Most of Logic's Software Instruments have an 'Envelope' section. This is where you can adjust the ADSR of the sound (Attack (lead in), Decay, Sustain (how long actual sound lasts for), Release (length of trail...).
Here are some ways:
You can use the Sustain & Release parameter in the plugin to adjust the length.
You can use Track Automation and volume to cut the sound out too. (View > Track Automation, draw nodes for Volume, drag lines to create a fade out).
You can use Hyper draw (Region based automation) to do this.
You can bounce the MIDI region to an audio file (Solo track, File > Bounce), import audio file and in Sample Editor use the fade out function. (This destructively edits the audio file).
You can bounce the region to audio and in the Arrange area use the fade tool to non-destructively add a fade to the end of a region. Then use the Automation Curve tool to add a curve shape to the fade out.
There are many ways to do this

Awe 32 Midi sound for Soundblaster Audigy L

I long time ago bought the good old awe32 ISA card. In my opinion this card had the best midi sound there ever was.... but back to the point. In lack of a ISA slot in my PC i now use a soundblaster audigy LS.But someone told me i can somewhere in the galaxy download a so called Sound Bank or Sound Font so my midi files and old dos games (Dosbox) could sound just like the old awe 32 Soundblaster card. But i could nowhere find such files. And even if i would find something i don?t know how to use them. I hope someone can help me.

Hi
I'm not sure if your card is SoundFont capable but ...
Here is some free SoundFont banks :

No bass and mids sound on left speaker?

On Vista 64 I get no bass and mids sound via the left inbuild speaker with whatever Realtek driver I try (upto R2.15). No such problem on OS X and no problem via headphones out.
Seems like a driver bug to me, but I'd like to get feedback from other users.

MIDI Sound Out

I have already edited the MIDI device program list to match with my Keystation 49e. Now, when I set up a MIDI instrument in my Editor window, everything works fine. I am able to set the program and it actually shows it in the inspector. I can enter music just fine and, in the editor, I can see the piano roll as well as the score of what I have entered so far. However, after recording and looking at it all, I just can't seem to get the MIDI sound to play on either the computer speakers or through my sound device (Apogee DUET). When I play the music for recording or for just listening, there is no sound. However, I can see the notes playing along in the transport window as well as the orange sound meter on the left of the track name responding. I just can't get the sound to come out so my ears can hear it!
Thank you in advance for your help!!

I found that LOGIC EXPRESS LE does a nasty little turn when selecting one of those pre-configured templates from the Composer --> Songwriter (acoustic) setup.
I learned that the Headphone output mix is set only to BUS 20 and that is it!! What one needs to do wth this setting is to make sure that the "output" is also set for "output tracks 1-2" as well. Otherwise, you won't be able to ear what you are doing as it is played back by Logic LE. I learned this by going through a sort of "wiring" diagram in my head and, fortunately, I found the "error" as provided by Apple. If anyone in LE Support reads this, you may want to fix this template so that other users are not too frustrated when trying to "hear" what they have produced on this template, OK?

MIDI sound not found

I've been trying to connect my Lexicon Alpha desktop recording studio to GarageBand, so that I can use my keyboard. It connects but does not find a signal.
When I go into settings in the top menu under GarageBand and then into Sound/MIDI. Here it says Sound In and Sound Out - Lexsicon Alpha In/Out, but then underneath it says 0 Midi sound going in has been found.
Anyone knows how to make it work?

after looking at a couple of pictures, it appears the Alpha is only an audio interface, not a MIDI interface, so you can only record your keyboard's sounds:

Midi sound on xtrememus

Hi, i've been looking for a solution for my problem for a while but i havent found anything so here i go!
I bougth the X-fi xtrememusic a while ago and i havent figured out how to get the midi sound as it should do.
I'm using a programmed called Guitar Pro (instrument tablature reader aso.) wich uses midi to produce the sound, how come i cant get any sound from a instrument that is panned 0(centerd)?
( If i pan some instrument full to the right/left i hear the sound (only at right/left ofc). )

When you say "get MIDI to work" what do you mean by that?
If you mean MIDI playback it should just work. Some of the MIDI functionality is weaker in game mode. The other two modes should have full MIDI functionality.
Launch "soundfont bank manager" from the systray icon and see if you've got a soundfont loaded. If not just click reset to default from there. The Creative restore defaults in the Creative Audio Console ( in start->programs->Creative->Audio Console ) should give the restore defaults page.

Why are Logic's MIDI sounds all panned?

All the midi sounds that I am using sound extra heavy on the left side...because they are. When I try to pan them to the right, they simply get quiet, there is hardly any level there. When I change them to audio I can see clearly that they are all louder on the left side.
What gives?????

Thanks guys. I had all my hardware set up fine. And I got confused when I changed a few midi clips to audio and saw that they were heavier on the left. I assumed ALL the clips I was hearing would look like that.
Turns out it was a software issue after all. Tracing the signal step by step I found that the audio out put in the SYSTEM SETTINGS was panned left. I have no idea how that happened. And now I'm worried I've blown my left speaker lol.
Anyway thanks for comments both helped me underta d it wasn't logic, it was me.

How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
thanx in advance for your response!

Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.
