MIDI keyboard suddenly does not work in logic

Well, I bought a new keyboard over the weekend because guitar center was having its sale.
Thing is, I have already tried it out, and it worked. It is connected to my PreSonus firebox, and I cant for the life of me figure out why it isnt working anymore. It turns on, it plays through the keyboard's internal speakers if I turn the volume up, it is connected to my audio interface, and logic plays tracks through it just fine. The only thing is that my keyboard isnt working as a controller. I have checked all the connections, restarted logic multiple times, and turned everything (except my macbook) off and on. Nothing.
So I went ahead and pulled out my old keyboard which I have not attempted to sell yet, and it didnt work either. So either there is something very simple that I am overlooking, or there is a problem with the MIDI cable, or with the jack on my firebox.
Any ideas? I'm hoping that I'm just being stupid...

Ah, it is a MIDI keyboard without an interface, so you send midi to the Presonus, which I think also has MIDI, right? Is there no setup software for the Presonus?
The fact that your Keyboard doesn't have its' own (USB-) midi interface, means that it will not appear in AMS - the Presonus MIDI ports should show up. You can create the keyboard in AMS though, and cable it to the Presonus MIDI. Just click "Add Device" and fill in the correct info.
And trying a different MIDI cable may be a good idea as well.
And check the Presonus for switches that may be in the wrong position.
That's all I got for you now...

  • Midi keyboard key A2 not working with Logic Pro 8

    Hello
    I was using an m-audio keyrig 49 for a good 3 months, when all of a sudden the A2 key stopped working properly. The transport bar in logic shows that midi data is being received when I press A2, however there is no velocity value. The key only makes a sound when I'm going from another key to it, and even when that happens there is a sustain effect on the note, which aren't on any other keys.
    I have tested this on midi keyboards from m-audio, novation, and edirol... keyboards that require drivers and keyboards that don't require drivers.
    Any ideas?

    Try redefining the key commands. Sometimes they can be a little flaky when importing earlier key commands. Redefining them might "unstick" them...

  • Antares autotune 4 graphic mode does not work in Logic

    Has anyone found a workaround for the following issue:
    Using Antares autotune 4 or 5 in Logic pro 8, I cannot use the graphical mode how it was intended. Using Cubase, I was able to launch the plugin, switch to graphic mode, and track the pitch vs time. This was useful to manually correct the pitch for each syllable. For some reason, this function does not work in Logic Pro 8. Any thoughts as to why? Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

    I haven't used AT in years, but I do still have AT 4.
    Graphic mode works just fine here in Logic 8, and I'm still on Tiger as well, albeit 10.4.11
    Not that you asked, but seriously, look into Melodyne. AT is so archaic as far as it's graphic mode is concerned. 30 seconds back with it and I can't seriously see why anyone would use that plug-in, other than maybe manual mode, for a quick "run a comb through it" fix.
    Sorry I couldn't give you an answer as to why this is happening. have you contacted Antares?

  • Logic midi exporting problems (does not work with cubase)

    ok so there is an audio file i need converter to midi for something i'm working on someone with who uses cubase...
    so basically an audio file from cubase needs audio to midi. since cubase does not have this feature i imported the .aif file from the cubase project and used audio to score to extract midi. i then exported the midi file and imported it back into the cubase project and it was not aligning with the audio file.
    note that the cubase project has variable tempos but i imported the file into default tempo and extracted the midi in the default tempo mode. but this shouldn't be a factor since midi conforms to current tempo so when it gets reimported back into cubase it should sync with the project tempo there....
    can anyone help???

    Already tried with different keyboard and I have find out that the keyboard that I use at home only sends midi via channel 4...
    You have a couple of choices:
    Within the EVB, change the Keyboard Mode to single. You may need to do this a couple of times to get it to work. You would also need to do this for every EVB preset that you use
    You could setup the organ Instrument Channel Strips as "Multi-Timbral" with the incoming MIDI mapped to Channel 1. You would need to do this for every Organ Strip that you want to use in your MS Concert.

  • Double Click on Keyboard shortcut does not work

    I want to change a keyboard shortcut. I have a Norwegian keyboard and the key combination for change active window in an application (multiple mail messages or Word documents) is not available. The Keyboard shortcut is set to ' - on my keyboard the ' character is <. The key combination < does not work unless I change layouts to a US keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts says that a double click on the shortcut will allow me to change the combination. This does not happen. I get an error bing instead. Any ideas of what is going on and how to change a shortcut in Leopard. I think this worked in Tiger. I have tried a hardwired as well as my bluetooth keyboard.

    Solved this one - you have to click on the key combination itself and not in the text area that describes the key combination.

  • Double escaping suddenly does not work anymore.

    Hello,
    We have WCF Data Service that is configured to use
    double escaping according to this article
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/peter_qian/archive/2010/05/25/using-wcf-data-service-with-restricted-characrters-as-keys.aspx
    During a long time (a year or more) this solution worked well for us. And suddenly, a week ago, we found that on some our services (in cloud, in out of cloud)
    double escaping does not work anymore.
    For example, request to our service may looks like
    http://service-host/odata-service/ContentTreeNodes('ID-%257BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%257D')/
    In sample above we have ID that without double escaping looks like ID-{FEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0}
    But when our service processes this request ID becomes like ID-%7BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%7D.
    And that is means that .NET (WCF Data Services) infrastructure removes only single escaping and forget (ignore) to remove second one.
    We have an assumption that issue probably maybe caused by some Windows security update. Because on some PCs it works well.
    Does anybody have similar issues?

    Hi,
    I suppose you tried to uninstall this patch from Azure VM. If so then yes, it can not be done. Seems it prohibited by MS or at least I do not have answer how to do it.
    At the same time I had no such problems with out of cloud PCs.
    BWT, we recently found that we do not require double escaping anymore in our service, because single escaping now works well for us. Looks like MS fixed an issue regarding # symbol in URL path. Now if URL has # in some URL path (for example in entity ID),
    then single escaped # works well.

  • Custom shortcuts addee via Keyboard.prefPane does not work..

    Hi,
    I read several sites that all refer to a way to create a shortcut for a menu command without one, ref.: <http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/keyboard.html>
    However, that does not work at all for me. Never has. So what I am doing wrong? In particular, I would like to add a shortcut to open the main window of Address Book, after closing the window leaving the app running.
    Anyonw could do me a run through? Cause the above mentioned procedure does not work.

    Welcome to our community
    The issue is typically a matter of focus. Particularly in Firefox. In IE, when the page loads and is presented, the Flash object (your Captivate movie) is given focus. So the keyboard shortcuts work. But that doesn't happen in Firefox. In Firefox, you must first click somewhere on the Flash object to give it focus. From there forward, shortcuts work because the Flash object is now listening for them.
    In every class I facilitate I demonstrated this and advise that it's a good idea to have a button on the first slide. This serves two purposes.
    It forces the user to click to proceed
    It keeps the first slide paused until the user is ready
    Yeah, before someone comes along and says: (in an annoyingly nasal tone) Mr. Man, you KNOW there is an option in Captivate to keep it paused at the start... I'm well aware that Captivate offers this option without adding a button, but I prefer it for the reasons above.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Keyboard illumination does not work. No light.

    Hi every one,
    I have a problem. My keyboard's illumination does not work at all. I tried pressing on F8/F9/F10 and nothing. Then something happened and now I have to press FN + F8/F9/F10, or even sometimes when I clicked on those, a thing popped on the screen with a "blocked logo" or "restricted logo" kind of a thing. I tried the Lab Tick and no good. I did PRAM reset and saw no difference. So, basically there is still no light at all.
    BTW in System Preferences>Keyboard>limitation is checked.
    So basically
    1. How do I fix the illumination/light on my keyboard?
    2. Why did the F8/9/10 work after I press FN at the same time?
    Help please...

  • Show Reading List keyboard shortcut does not work

    The Show Reading List keyboard shortcut (shift-command-L) does not work in Lion Safari 5.1.

    Problem has been fixed. I reported the bug to Apple from the Safari menu. Also, I had a different application that used the same keyboard shortcut for one of their hotkey's which I disabled. Then it worked fine. Shift-Command-L now shows reading list in Lion.

  • Keyboard shortcut does not work on first slide in Web Browser

    I'm using a workbook to learn Captivate.
    I added a keyboard shortcut, the Enter key, to buttons on the first and second slides.
    When I preview the project in Captivate, the shortcuts all work.
    When I preview the project in a Web Browser (specifically Firefox 3.6.16), the shortcut does not work on the first slide, but does work on subsequent slides.
    Any ideas why this would happen?

  • Keyboard shortcut does not work on ML

    Hi everyone!
    I've been in love with one smal feature of Lion: to send email with chosen file just out of the Finder by simply pressing cmd+shift+1.
    In spite of that this feature is available in ML disability access preferences it does not work at all. I'm not sure if TotalFinder caused this failure, because it worked perfect during times of Lion.
    Has anyone of you know some suggestion?

    Never heard of that shortcut before. Where exactly do you see it? In Accessibility? Which section?
    If I set up a shortcut with that combination, I do not get any warnings that it is in use.
    You would have had to set that up yourself or a program was helping you do that.
    In Mountain Lion, if you right-click, there is an Email option in Share.
    You could also create an Automator Service to do what you want and assign a shortcut to that.
    It quite possibly could be TotalFinder interfering with whatever you had set up before.

  • 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.

  • I have a Roland A-90 ex midi thru M-Audio prokeys 88 into an iMac and have Logic Pro 9, Sibelius 6 and Miroslav Philharmonik to use. Problem is that in all three applications the midi key OFF does not work on the odd occasion and a note STICKS.

    ROLAND A-90ex Midi to M-audio prokeys 88 USB INTO iMac using LOGIC PRO9,SIBELIUS 6 & MIROSLAV PHILHARMONIK. When I play the keys, every now and then the note off command does not seem to work and I'll hit a note and it will stay sustained, stuck as if. I cannot turn it off. Tried everything , preferences and all the usual things. Any ideas?

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:
