MicroKORG in Logic Express questions

Hey there!
I'm thinking of upgrading to Logic Express (from GB'11) within the next few months, and I just had a couple of questions as I also would like to purchase a MicroKORG in the near future as well.
From what I've read the MicroKORG sends audio signal via the 1/4 inch connection- so that'd just be a Real Audio track, right? If I wanted MIDI it'd need a MIDI cable, yeah?
But- what if I love the sounds on the synth, but want to be able to tweak and edit a recording (bum notes, timing issues etc)? Is there not an official plugin instead or...?
Does the MicroKORG COME with a plugin? I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out
Thanks in advance

Q1- 1 gig of RAM is the minimum amount if you want to be safe. RAM is golden in Logic, but 1 gig is just safe.
Q2-I don't even see EXS24 on my copy, so there can't be a huge difference.
Q3- Yes, they should be but put that question in the logic PRO forum just to be sure.

Sync microKorg with Logic Express 9

I'm trying to sync the arpeggiator of my microKorg XL with Logic Express 9, using Logic as the master. I seem to have almost done it, in that tempo changes in Logic change the microKorg's tempo. However, I can only hear the microKorg whilst I'm either recording or playing back - I can't hear it if I press a few keys.
I think the problem lies in that I have "Local off" set in accordance with the microKorg manual. The manual says I should also "turn on echo back" on the computer - but I don't know how to do this in Logic Express.
Grateful for advice.

When you set "Local Off" in any synth with MIDI capability, it disconnects synth's keyboard from its sound engine. Switch it back ON to be able to play sounds again using microKorg's keyboard. There is no point to disable the keyboard in your case anyways. Unless of course, you want to avoid midi-loop (but that's only when you have both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT wired to Logic).

Logic Express 7.2 Crossgrade Questions???

Hello,
I just picked up the Logic Express 7.2 Crossgrade and had some questions:
Being that Apple was so generous not include a single lick of paperwork (installation guide or manuals) and the Installer and Content disc are dated Jan. of 2006 (everything is almost a year old, read me's, manuals etc..) that are on the installer disc! I'm a little confused.
First: My original version of Logic Express is 7.0 and I do not have it installed on my computer (see specs below). So, will the serial # that came with my original 7.0. version work with this 7.2 crossgrade?
Second: Is the 7.2 Installer disc a full installer or will I have to run the original 7.0 disc and then run the 7.2 installer disc to upgrade the Logic Express application? Or is the 7.2 disc a full installer?
Third: Being that there are no physical manuals, etc... and as I stated above the PDF Manuals are almost a year old, where do I find all of the most current Manuals, Read Me's, etc...?
Fourth: is anyone using Logic Express 7.2 with a Digidesign Pro Tools LE system, which consists of a Digi 002 (Console) with Pro Tools LE 7.1cs10. I'm using it with a Power Mac G5 Dual-Core 2.3 with 4.5 GB of Ram, running Tiger 10.4.8 (PPC). If so, are you having any problems using Logic Express 7.2 (or what ever the current version of Logic Express is) and is having Logic Express 7.2 installed on the same computer as Pro Tools causing any problems with Pro Tools running properly (or to be blunt, breakin Pro Tools)?
P.S.
I know I might get slammed for this and I know that the Logic Express 7.2 Crossgrade was only a lousy $29.00 plus Tax but is it too much to ask for actual physical manuals, installation guides with the crossgrade? And most importantly, at least the most current version of Logic Express 7.2? As I said above, the 7.2 disc is dated almost a year ago! The current version I now see is 7.2.3 and was released September 2006. What's the deal with that?. I guess Apple is trying to save a buck or make one, who knows?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply SynterX,
I'm glad to see that someone is on the same wavelength as me. I agree 100 percent that Apple "could have at least supplied a single sheet of paper in there that says how to install and what to do". I happen to be one of the people that like to look at the actual printed documentation (call me crazy). And yes, I did have to send them my 7.0 Disc. Thanks for answering the mysterious full installer/serial # question that I had. Just curious, when did you get your crossgrade and is it the same version that I just received, 7.2 (which is almost a year old).
I also just ordered the Soundtrack Pro upgrade to Final Cut Studio. I can't wait to see what that mess looks like!
P.S.
Where does one find the current Logic Express Documentation, etc...?
Thanks again!

Hello, good day, my question is, buy Logic Express, but then put logic pro 9 in the same price, I can not buy logic studio, and let me know if I buy now logic pro, I can buy separately after jams that bring logic studio. thanks

Hello, good day, my question is, buy Logic Express, but then put logic pro 9 in the same price, I can not buy logic studio, and let me know if I buy now logic pro, I can buy separately after jams that bring logic studio. thanks

José, if you buy and download Logic Pro in App Store now, the best option would be to buy an upgrade to Logic Studio. I don't think Jam Packs are available any more in Apple Store, besides it will be more expensive buying them one by one than upgrading to Studio.
Español: José, si compras y bajas Logic Pro de App Store ahora, despues la mejor opción será comprar el upgrade a Logic Studio. No creo que estos dias fuera posible comprar Jam Packs de Apple Store, y además comprarlos uno por uno seria más caro que el upgrade a Studio.

Question about Selling Logic Express 9

I gave my macbook pro away as a gift and am now going to sell Logic Express 9.
I realize I won't get much for it, but how do I go about selling this regarding registry transfer?
thanks for any help!

You can start by checking the EULA (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf), but basically you just need to make sure that LE9 is deleted from the MacBook Pro and you give all the installation discs, manuals, and serial numbers to the buyer. This is the proper, legal way to do it.
Registration is optional and doesn't really play any legal role in purchasing or transferring a license. Having said that, if you have registered LE9 and the buyer tries to register it after purchasing from you, Apple will have questions. If you think the buyer will want to register LE9 then you will have to call Apple support to confirm the sale & transfer. Again, registration is optional and not required for a legal sale/transfer of a license (as long as you delete your copy).

Logic express and pro 7 to logic studio 9 upgrade question

I have logic express 7, logic studio 7, and just upgraded to logicstudio 9, but my serial number is not recognized. All my copies should be registered with apple already, so how should i best remedy this?

Hi again and thanks for the reply.
I tried to follow your instructions but isn't working still. I think I did something wrong. Here is what I did:
1. Went to Midi Setup, double clicked on IAC driver and then checked the "device is online" box. It says its on Bus 1.
2a. In pro tools, went to peripherals, at the synchronization tab I left MTC reader port: ANY and put MTC Generator Port: IAC Driver, Bus 1
2b. Then went to the Machine Control tab, enabled MIDI Machine Control and set it to IAC Driver, Bus 1.
3a. In Logic Express I went to preferences>Midi>Sync and selected listen to MMC Input and took Midi Clock off. I see where it says MTC but there isn't a place to make it the slave.
I know I'm not doing this right because I hit play on Pro Tools and Logic Express just laughs at me
Can you help me through this. I'm a novice with Macs and Syncing.
Thanks again friend.

Question of process after producing a song on logic express

Hi, so i've recorded a track using the produce preset in logic express. Now I don't know how to get it into the mastering preset for polishing and limiting using plugins. I'm not sure how to get from point a to point b. i've entered the preset and have tried to open my project but it always opens up in the produce preset only. How does one go from to producing to mastering in logic pro and also how do you apply compression and hard limiting to voals in mastering mode.
Thanks for your help in advance, the feed back would be useful.

Hi,
You will need to bounce an uncompressed stereo track of your Logic project. Then open a new logic project, from the template section choose the mastering preset and then bring in your stereo track. The Mastering suite can only be used on an audio track, not a Logic Project.

Logic 8 Pro Installation/ Logic Express 8 uninstallation question

Is there any reason I need to keep Logic Express 8 installed after I install Logic Pro 8 ? I was hoping to free up some space...
I am installing Logic Pro 8 as I type this. I can hardly wait to use it.
; )

The easiest way is just to drag the LE folder from Applications into the trash.
There may be some preferences but it doesn't matter if you leave them. Ditto for files in Application Support. There may also be jam packs, templates and other user data lying around but there is no simple way of locating and deleting the lot.
If you're paranoid, use spotlight to find anything with Logic Express in the filename and trash that. Still won't be complete, however.
Think about this:
You use MS Word. You create lots of docs, download templates, perhaps clip-art and word-art. You create your own dictionary and add auto-correction tables. You customise the program and store things all over the hard drive. No installation program is going to find all the things that you've dotted around. Ditto for Logic Express. Just trash the app and leave the rest to rot. It's a small number of megabytes (unless you've installed Jam Packs) and that's peanuts compared to your likely storage.
Don't worry; be happy ;o)

Question about logic pro 7 & logic express

I have been working in Logic Platinum 4.7 for several years & need to upgrade - I work mainly in MIDI for new Age music and add 1 or 2 live audio tracks - I don't use a lot of effects and never use loops - a salesman at Sweetwater suggested that I might only need logic express rather than Pro 7 - does anyone know if logic express can do all that logic 4.7 did? I particularly need to edit MIDI notes in the score format - and is it true that I dont' need a mixing board any more even though I still want to use my Kurzweil sampler, PC 88 MX and Proteus modules? Also need suggestions about audio and MIDI interfaces to use with an IMac 2.16 intel dual processor computer that I will buy at the same time - thanks for any input - jazznow

I do not know about 4.7 but I do have Logic Express which
I used for about 6 months before upgrading. I would think
that you will be fine if all you are doing is what you described
here. You really dont need a mixer but you might want to
look at a control surface which gives you the feel of a mixer.
I suggest the Behringer BCF2000, Only 200 and it emulates
a Logic Control. As far as interfaces you are going to find
alot of different opinions here so you should check them
all out. It comes down to how much you are willing to spend.
Hope this helps, PK

Logic Express 7 Update/Upgrade Question

Hello,
I posted this once before but I'll try again...
I have Logic Express version 7.0.1 and never did get the "paid" upgrade to Logic Express version 7.1 (or was it version 7.2?). I'm wondering what the latest version of Logic Express 7 is and how I would go about getting the update/upgrade to 7.1 (or 7.2)?
I use GarageBand most of the time and don't use Logic Express a lot so I don't really want to fork out the cash to move to version 8 but it would be nice to see it updated somehow. Logic Express 7.0.1 seems to work fine on 10.5.6 for me, by the way.
I just can't seem to find any info on Apple's website about the version 7.1 (or 7.2) update/upgrade.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks so much,
Gerard

It was 7.2.3 (961.9). I still use it along side 8.0.2 (1502.22)…
Because the files in both LE7 & LE8 get huge when they are edited, but unlike in LE7, there is no way to bring the file back to it's proper size. A 350 KB song in LE8 can get to be many MBs, so I'm forced to build the song in LE7 where I can save the final version twice, which brings the file back to it's proper size. I can then open it in LE8 and edit only the few parameters that I've learned don't increase the file's size. The amount of extra work this made transferring 700+ files from Cubase is beyond belief. I needed to get software to preserve LE8 file creation dates for the many files I had to make small changes to in LE7 and import a 'new' file into LE8. And after every 5 times I open LE7, I'm asked to register the application. I had to click that box off the screen over 2500 times.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

How many computers can I install Logic Express on?

Simple question...can I buy one copy of Logic Express and install it on both my Macbook Pro and my new iMac when I get it? I can't see anywhere on Apple's site any info on the software product licences. I also need to know the same information for Final Cut express.

Christian,
Thanks for that, I was beginning to think I wouldn't get an answer to this question. I will be using only one of these computers for music production at a time so that will be fine. I will probably use the iMac at home and the Macbook Pro when away and I didn't want to have to buy two copies.

Can you install logic express on more than one computer

can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

$5 Starbucks card to first successful answer: how to import midi timecode into Logic Express 9 from Roland VS-880 or Ensoniq ASR-10

I will literally mail a $5 Starbucks card or gift $5 via paypal to the first person whose response gets me success. Then after all responses are provided and I'm successful with my issue, I'll also raffle off $5 to one of ALL respondents by random pick.
Problem/question:
I can't figure out how to import midi timecode data from either an Ensoniq ASR-10 or Roland VS-880 Vxpanded into Logic Express 9, so I can then use Logic Express 9 as the master. No manuals seem to explain that; I just can't find it.
Background/basics:
1. My ultimate goal will be to move all midi data from the Ensoniq ASR-10 floppies and all digital audio files from the VS-880 into Logic Express 9. Once the midi timing is imported into a Logic Express 9 file, I'll import the data from the Ensoniq & Roland via steps 2a & 2b below.
1a. Ten years ago I somehow (am in the process of re-learning what I did 10 years ago) imported the midi timing into the Roland VS-880 Vxpanded from the ASR-10, and then used the VS-880 as the Master to control the ASR-10. So my current status is that I use the Roland VS-880 as the master, and the Ensoniq ASR-10 as the slave.
2. FYI for anyone who might be in the same boat, wanting to transfer stuff from an Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland VS-880 to the computer:
2a. I will import all midi sequence data from my ASR-10 floppy disks via a utility purchased here, which will all a PC to read Ensoniq-formatted disks, and then just hopefully cut/paste midi files into Logic Express 9 (FYI only): www.chickensys.com
2b. Then will import all the individual WAV files from my Roland VS-880 to Logic Express 9 using a method learned here (FYI only): http://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=985974&PHP SESSID=b1d2f57be4a1d37d49787400213b22df
2c. I'll then combine them all into Logic Express 9.
So - how the heck do I capture/import the midi timecode into Logic from either the roland or ensoniq using midi?
I'm don't think that cutting/pasting the midi data into a Logic Express 9 sequence file (step 2a above) will do that, because there are all kinds of tempo & time signature changes in the midi files unfortunately.
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas!!
Andy

OK doesn't look possible. Closing discussion.

Make ringtone in Logic Express 8?

I´d like to use a recording as a ringtone via i-tunes. But that only seems to be possible with the latest Garage Band, witch I don´t have (my old G5 Power PC seems to be too slow for i-live ´09). Is there a way to make the recording a ringtone-file in logic and send it to i-tunes?

Thank you BLU2.5 for your helpful post.
I have an old Garageband 2.0.2. I didn´t upgrade because I don´t actually use this program as I work with Logic. Now I found, the only way to upgrade Garageband is to buy iLife´09. For some of the features in iLife ´09 my 4 year old Power PC seems to be to slow, so I´m reluctant to install it, winding up with my old iLife-programs being out of function and the new ones don´t work. Buying a new Apple Computer? -not for a ringtone.
My iTunes has a folder "Ringtones" and the reason for not being able to put data in that folder might be, that I didn´t know about .m4r file till now. That seems to answer my question as obviously my Logic Express 8 is not able to convert an aiff-file or mp3.-file to an m43 file.
