MIDI Loops & Loop Browser

Does anyone know if MIDI loops can be manually added to the Loop Browser?

that's as simple as make an apple loop with an audio file.
4 exemple:
u open exs 24, u record some drums, u open a compressor, eq ,etc(even non apple plug in).when ur happy with wath uv done,u just go to the menu region > add to aplle loops library
choose it a tag and it 's done.don't forget to define the right signature key (if it's a musical region),and well place the locator!
u can now open it in every project as an audio file or as a midi file,then logic will automaticaly open the right plug in (instrument,compressor,reverb,etc....)
extremaly usefull.

MIDI feedback loops

Per a different thread discussion, I've started using Plogue Bidule to host most of my Audio units and I'm using IAC to send MIDI from MainStage to Blogue.
However, I frequently get popup dialogs warning me that there is a MIDI feedback loop and I'm prompted to "go online" or "stay offline". I'm doing the latter and everything works fine but I'm wondering how to fix this problem (or at least get rid of the dialog).
I'm not near the machine at the moment but I'm wondering if MainStage is automatically receiving MIDI back from those IAC ports and just blindly sending events out again? If that's what's happening, I can probably create some more dummy MIDI devices and associate them with those ports but it's a pity to have to do this.

This doesn't really answer your question, but I am using Reason with MainStage through rewire and can remote control reason fine with MIDI. Once I launch Reason I can create an external instrument channel strip in MainStage. Then I can set the port to Reason and choose a channel, and then map one of my knobs to send a specific midi controller on this external channel strip. Then Reason receives this midi controller whenever I turn the knob on screen. I imagine you should be able to do something pretty similar with Live in slave mode...

Midi Apple Loops Problem

Hi,
Im having some issues with the midi apple loops loosing some effects that are heard when previewed in the media section, then once dragged into the arrange it'll loose for example a prevalent reverb and other notable sonic qualities...even when the plug-ins that are usually bypassed once dragged into arrange window are activated its still lacking from the preview loop heard.
Wa gwahn?

This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

Other Software for Loop/Loop Back and Forth

Since Apple isnt moving fast enough to fix the disabled loop/loop back and forth, I wonder if anyone knows some other software that has this feature. Thanks

Hi,
An idea, with the current version, is to move the trigger from 0.0 to 0.1 as indicated here: playReverse() trigger

Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
But as well controller messages not being read right
say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
so the timpani roll is gone

This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

Where are the MIDI Apple Loop files stored?

Am I the only one that wonders where the MIDI files are stored for GarageBand? The ones installed by iLife, the Jam Pack additions and any custom MIDI loops I create are nowhere to be found. Spotlight doesn't show any MIDI loop name I search and I have spent an entire day scrounging through just about every folder on my Mac looking for these puppies! Does ANYONE know where these files are stored?!!?

Alright, then...
You appear to be correct, in as much as the developer specification for the Core Audio Format has provisions for a "MidiChunk". Thank you so much for at least pointing me in the right direction. I still couldn't find any explanation for this issue on the website you referred me to (and had previously visited), but I did find a small explanation in an obscure Apple Tech Document.
What I would still like to know is:
1. How do you access the MIDI data within the .caf files? I haven't found any application that will extract or access that data.
2. When I create custom MIDI sequences within GarageBand and save them to the Loop Library (e.g. a piano track named "hoity-toity-supercilious-wankersequencedeluxe"), they show up in the Loop Browser but I still can't locate the actual file anywhere on my Mac. I know I can just open up a GarageBand file in Logic and then export the MIDI file out from there. But, I would REALLY like to just be able to find the file to begin with and skip that extra stage.
If I could just find the answers to these burning questions. Oh, and (singing) if I only had a brain!
Thanks again for getting me this far!

Some loops don't loop in browser

In the Loop Browser when previewing, the loops play over and over until I stop them, including ones downloaded from MacLoops. Except one group from MacLoops (Chillout) only plays once through then stops. How can I get them to play continuously like all the others?

This one set of loops acts differently. Besides not "looping" when playing in the browser they also do not follow the tempo&pitch of the Project. (In fact the option is grayed out when the loop is in the Timeline). It's the macloops chillout set.
http://www.macloops.com/audio/freechillout_drum_loops_forgarageband.php
I don't think I did anything different than with the other loops of theirs I D/L'd. (I think I'll try deleting them and D/L'ing again).

Midi auto-loops unwanted

Lately when i record midi regions they are automatically looped over 8 or 9 times as soon as i finish recording the strikes. I'm wondering if I've accidentally turned on some sort of "auto-loop" feature. Any idea how to turn it off?

Yep, this one:
Uncheck it.

Midi apple loops disappear. Why?

All blue (audio loops) remain in the loop folder, I had greens before but all of sudden they has gone. I downloaded additional content, but says it's complete.

This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

Midi Guitar Loops

This might be a very old topic, in which case my apologies. I have all the Apple guitar loops, but want to expand my GarageBand library - particularly of midi loops because they are so much more adaptable. Ideally I would like to hear samples online and buy them on CD rather than as downloads because I use more than one Mac.
Can anyone suggest a good source please?

Can't get loops onto browser

I've found the loops on my hard drive, but even when I drag them into the loop browser they don't show up. When I try again, it tells me that folder has already been added, but still won't show the loops.

Garageband does not show loops in browser

Hi all,
I'm running 2.02 and I just downloaded the Jampack freebies from .mac. I installed as instructed (drug the loops to the loop browser), however, garageband does not 'see' the new loops. They are not in the loop browser. I checked help which explained that when they are drug into the loop browser the loop index gets updated. I'm not sure this has happened correctly. Is there a way to force the program to update the index based on what it finds in the library/Apple Loops directory?
Elsewise....any suggestions? I've tried restarting the program. I've hit reset in the loop browser, and I've made sure that the 'key filter' whatever parm in the preferences is not checked.
bigtiny

What you are seeing is the normal behavior of the program. If you create a song in C in 4/4 time you will see most of your loops. Garageband keeps them organized by key and time signature. I lose most of my loops when I make a song in 3/4 or 6/8 time and in a minor key like Em.
You can get more of them to show up by unchecking the filter option in the preferences:
1. Open Garageband
2. In the Garageband menu select 'preferences'.
3. In the general section of preferences uncheck the filter for more relevant results.
I have not discovered anything that will force loops to show up in unusual keys. Some of the drum loops should show up but don't. It is possible the loops were not given the 'any key' tag. Unusual rhythms also wreak havoc on the loops selection.
For this reason, when you make your own loops be sure to select all the parameters you want the loops to show up in.

Looping Output Browser in a Cleared Window

Is it possible for a jsp page to stick around but have a loop (for() or while()) that refreshes the browser window with something simple like an integer value? I cannot figure a way for the jsp page to do anything but append output into the browser window.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED :)

You may use JavaScript
<body onLoad=doSomething(<%= request.getParameter("javascript") %>)>

Help needed in making a Recursive loop( loops into loops)

Hi i have a situation, i need to make loop into loop into loop....undecided loop.
i have a object list which are parent.........eg.
i query to get my 1st list is A, B and C....i loop it to display in table
while looping i query A to get its child AA, AB, and AC, i loop it in table..
while looping i query AA to get its child AAA, AAB and AAC...
i have to check for the child till it has child level donw level...but i dont know how can i make a dynamic loop...i cant write a loop it for 15 to 20 .
Is there any way to make a recursive loop so tht it checks for child into child.
thanks

my code is such......
Corres[] objCorresBean = correspondence.getCorrespondence(objectId);
for (int i = 0; i < objCorresBean.length; i++) {
CorrespondenceBean corresBean = objCorresBean;
String parent_object_id = corresBean.getObjectId();
childCorresBean = correspondence.getChildCorrespondence
(parent_object_id);
for (int j = 0; j < childCorresBean.length; j++) {
CorrespondenceBean childBean = childCorresBean[j];
String child_object_id = childBean.getChildObjectId();
may be child_object_id have some childrens.......i want to make it recursive
