Midi note event?

I am making an application where I want a variety of events to occur in time with the music of a MIDI sequence. I plan to use a muted track of the MIDI sequence to control the events. Whenever this control track plays a note, an event should be triggered. Is there some way to do this? Can I also set the duration of the event to equal the duration of the note? And can I specify which event should occur, based on which note is played (as in C, D, E, F and so on...)? I only need four different notes, because I have four possible events, and the actual melody of the control track doesn't really matter, since it will be muted. The rhythm is all that matters on this track, so that the events occur at the right time. (The rest of the tracks in the MIDI sequence will be playing the actual music.)
Someone have any ideas?

Go to *File>Project Settings>MIDI>Chase events* and enable Notes.
More explanation about these settings can be found on p. 115-117 of the LP8 User Manual.

  • How do I move cc 64 (sustain) data in sync when I move midi notes?

    In the matrix editor, when I 'Select All Following' in order to move everything that follows back a few ticks to get rid of a rythmic hesitation, the sustain pedal data doesn't move with the notes. Obviously, this messes up the piano pedaling. Is there a way to 'attach' the controller info to the notes when I move them, or is there a better view window in which to this sort of editing? Thanks!

    I was trying to figure this out myself and didn't understand the previous reply at first. But after a few seconds playing around I got it. If you open the midi matrix editor (in the 'windows' menu) you can select the notes you desire to move. After selecting the notes go to the event list (in the 'windows' menu). You should see the notes you've already selected in the event list highlighted in gray.
    The items listed as 'control' are the sustain pedal controls in the midi information. (you can tweak these number values here as well). Holding the 'shift' key down, click all of the sustain pedal control items that you want to move. They should be within and/or around the already highlighted notes (the list is in order of sequence of the song). Once all is selected you can switch back to the matrix editor and drag the notes where you want them like normal, but you will also be moving the sustain information since you selected it in the event list.
    Also, within the matrix editor itself you can use the view menu and navigate to the hyper draw option and choose sustain pedal. Now you can see the sustain controls under the midi notes and edit the length, etc. You can use the little arrow on the left to change what the hyper draw editing will change as well (volume, sustain pedal, etc.). Hope that helps.

  • How do I slur midi notes?

    I'm sort of a newbie here...

    "Slurring notes together" is legato (covered above), & "gradually changing to another note" is glissando.
    Glissando effects can only be achieved if the sound in question supports them. However, you can simulate the effect by using the pitch wheel to move the original note towards your intended destination, at which point you can simultaneously release the pitch wheel controller & play the destination note.
    It might take a bit of practice, but essentially you are looking to insert pitch wheel events into your MIDI Regions. In fact, you can record them separately on another Track set to the same MIDI Channel, allowing you to record the note events separately, which gives you a slightly easier time of getting it just right!

  • Not all MIDI notes selected though they should be

    If I still have your attention for a brief moment, I just had the most strange experience:
    I selected a group of MIDI notes and dragged them - but then I saw that maybe 8-10 notes out of 12 bars were NOT selected, and thus NOT moved?
    What's that all about?
    Maybe I should add, that I normally only use Logic for audio recording, and Cubase for MIDI. So this MIDI behaviour confuses me.
    Message was edited by: mosegaard

    Not so fast!
    There are still ways to explain this behaviour, & a bug like this would have been reported by dozens of people by now…
    Are you sure the unselected notes weren't previously selected?
    Here's the manual (p.174):
    _Making Rubber-Band Selections_
    To select consecutive regions or events (or other elements, such as Mixer channel strips), click on the background and drag a rubber-band over them.
    All regions or events touched, or enclosed, by the rubber-band (shaded area) will be selected.
    _Switching the Selection Status_
    When you make any selection (including by rubber-band or horizontal selection) while holding down Shift, the active selection status of the regions or events will be reversed.
    You can also reverse the selection status of all regions or events by using +Edit > Toggle Selection+ (default key command: Shift-T).
    As an example: If you want to select all regions in a project, with the exception of a few, you can first select the regions that you do not want to choose, and then use the +Toggle Selection+ command.
    Again, this is just an example. I'm 99% sure it will be something like this…

  • Getting external software to trigger midi notes in a logic project

    Happy new years guys,
    I've recently figured out how to use a 3rd party software (e.g. ableton live) to input midi notes into logic.
    so i can set up an ES2 in logic, and use the software (ableton) as the source of midi info. great.
    however, when i press the "spacebar" (i.e. play) to kick off my logic project, ableton is not playing as well.
    ableton would play synced if logic was opened 1st, and ableton was the re-wire slave. but in re-wire slave mode, ableton has no midi outs !!
    so on the 1 hand, i can open ableton 1st, then logic - which would give me the ability to use midi events in ableton to trigger ES2, but then I can't sync the playback of logic + ableton.
    on the 2nd hand, i can open logic 1st, then ableton - which would let me press spacebar in logic, and ableton would then run synced as the slave. but this way, ableton has no midi outs, as its runnin in re-wire slave mode !!
    what i really want to do is just use ableton as the midi sequencer / trigger, and use logic for everything else (mixing, effects, ES2 synth, ESM etc.)
    i just want to use ableton to edit / create my midi info etc.
    anybody have suggestions on how I can achieve this?
    i appreciate your time / responses. this forum has been a great help for me.
    ian

    There's a couple of things to try...
    If you're only using Ableton as the MIDI sequencer...
    See if Ableton has the ability to sync to "MIDI Clock" and MIDI Song Pointer if possible.
    Go into Logic's synchronization and enable MIDI Clock Out.
    I don't know if the current IAC bus will do ot if you have to crteate a second.
    The second way would invlove MTC (Midi Time Code) over a second IAC bus.

  • Locking midi controller expression data to midi note data.  How to do it?

    I am recording some sax and trumpet lines into Logic using Samplemodeling software (The Trumpet, The Sax Brothers). The data goes into Logic on a midi channel.
    At the same time as playing the notes, I am using an expression pedal to control different aspects of the sound (cc64, but it could be set to anything midi controller number, as long as I also set it in the Samplemodeling software and make sure that Logic receives and Samplemodeling sends on the same midi channel).
    The midi note data and midi data record properly. However, I am having a problem with editing. If I move the note in time (i.e. shift it left or right in piano roll), the cc64 data does not move with it. I can see the data, and of course, could cut and paste it or hyper draw it, but that would be very time consuming. Is there a way to lock the expression data to the note data so that when you move the note the midi controller data moves as well. I assume the same question would apply to pitch/volume/pan or any other controller, but I have not tried that.
    Alternately, is there another way to record the data, so it is locked to the midi notes?
    Many thanks
    Steven
    If it is relevant, I am using:
    Logic 9 Studio
    Mac 2.93 Dual Quad
    Novation Keyboard

    Well, I routed around in the manual and finally found the answer. There is a pull down menu which allows you to choose to tie together the non-note midi data to the note data.
    "Turn on the Functions > Include Non-Note MIDI Events setting to tie other data (such as pitch-bend, modulation, aftertouch, or poly pressure) in a region to the region’s notes."
    Problem solved.

  • Audio recording also recording midi mute events. How to remove

    Greetings...
    I new to Logic, recent convert from Cubase. Anyway I have an odd problem. When I record a stereo audio track and Logic seems to be recording Midi control data events as well. To be specific I have a Tranzport controller that I use to start and stop, mute record etc. Anyway I have an audio track that sets the mute when I start playback, all by itself. Then after a bit it turns off the mute. Seems to be midi commands that were captured as part of the control track that associates with the audio track.
    Anyway my problem is that I can't find where this midi mute even is stored in the project. I just want to remove it but I'm at a loss as to where it is stored. I had a control track that I found and removed that and it seemed to take out most of the midi control events but not all of them.
    Sorry if my terminology isn't quite Logic but as I said I've come from a different environment.
    Anyway I hope this makes sense enough to have one of you point me in the right direction.
    All in all I'm really enjoying Logic Express!!
    --Bryan

    Hi...
    I checked the automation display and it shows 0db throughout so that is not what is muting the output.
    However you said "In the midi track did you search in the Even List Editor". Well that is kind of my problem. I don't have a midi track. Only audio takes in a region. When I play back the region the output starts muted (mute light on) then the mute goes off (light off sound on) for a measure and then mutes again for another two measures. Then mute goes off again and the recorded music plays back normally from that point on. This is why I think Logic has captured my control surfaces Midi mute events. I had one take where I pressed the mute button on my Tranzport a couple of times at the start of the recording. These events are captured and repeat each time I play back the recording. I just can't find where those events are stored. The event list only shows the Comp and two takes, no midi control events.
    I hope my description makes sense. I'll keep looking. The midi data must be somewhere in there, it's just sitting there laughing at me.
    Thanks..

  • Record external Arpeggio (from external Plugin) as MIDI Notes

    Guys ... sorry .. still dont have a clue how to do it.
    Example :

    I want to 'catch' the generated MIDI notes from that arpeggio, and record them on another MIDI track.
    I would prefer to do this without the Environment, but if thats what it takes, ok.
    Thx for the help in advance.

    Thx .. I have seen most of them already, maybe i missed the big one.
    But they are mainly about the Logic Built-In (crap) Arpeggiator.
    Dont want to use it, caus its very .. eh .. limited.
    What i mean to understand is how to :
    'catch' midi-events (e.g. the notes) from ANY external SoftSynth Arpeggiator running a self-generated arpeggio.
    ****, hope i am clear.
    Thx for helping out man, can you give more insight on my Q. ?

  • Deleting double midi notes

    Is there a way to delete all double midi notes in one time in the whole arrangement? It was possible with Cubase on Atari more than 5 years ago.
    I know that I can do it in the Matrix editor -> Functions -> Erase midi events -> Duplicate: ... But then I have to do this track by track.
    Any suggestions?
    Wim

    You've merged the regions right? What was your method of the copy/xpose?

  • Midi note grab:  why do they all make sound?

    When I am editing midi notes and I select, say, 3 measures of notes: As I'm selecting them ALL the notes make a sound. It's really loud and shocking to hear, especially with percussion.
    Is there a way to turn this off while I am grabbing midi notes?

    I should weigh in here and say I knew that my remark might upset some, and it wasn't really a personal remark to the OP, more of a general "oy vey!".
    The reason I said it was because this is a fairly fundamental part of Logic, available in all editor windows, and clearly has a consistent button (with tool tips).
    I'm not berating anyone for not sitting and reading the manual for three months before installing the software, or expecting anyone to memorise it. But by and large, people run complicated software, and then go to the manual when stuck (actually, often they don't even do that then, even though it's under the help menu in front of them, they come and ask on forums etc).
    Doing this is really not the best way to learn, in my view.
    What I really recommend doing is when you have some free time, pick a chapter "Oh, today let's learn about the event editor", and just pick up the manual and read the event editor chapter. Do this from time to time, and I guarantee you'll find lots of "oh, I didn't realise that" and "ah that's cool" and "oh, so that's what that's for!" moments.
    Note that in my response, it wasn't just a RTFM, I did in fact post a reasonably comprehensive answer.
    And I personally find a little humour here welcome, as long as it's not intrusive and doesn't disguise the solutions and problem solving help - so please lighten up on some of the guys that do spend a lot of their own time helping others here, especially when the same "well I haven't read the manual but how do i..." questions come up time and time again - I consider a little fun to be some small relief and enjoyment about contributing here.
    Without that, I think I'd probably go mad and leave...

  • CC to Midi Notes in Mainstage????

    Hi all,
    I've set up an instance of EXS24 at concert level of MainStage to a second controller. I'm doing this so I can run a 6 second loop of pads in the background no matter what patch I am using.
    Problem is I need to latch this note so that i can switch the pads on and off, and EXS24 doesn't accept CC information to trigger samples, it needs notes. But this doesn't help as you can't latch notes (?), but you can latch CC info...and I can't map those pads to a button on something like a NanoKontrol or some other midi controller.
    Is there a script i can put on the EXS channel strip to receive CC and send it to EXS as a midi note?? This would allow me to then also latch that button (one I would create on the layout) and then hit it again to turn the pad off.
    I'm up for whatever solution you guys might have, nothing is too out of the box..... I've been losing sleep over this issue for days now.
    thanks.....

    This might work:
    function HandleMIDI(event)
      if(event instanceof ControlChange)
      var number = event.number;
      if((number >= 23) && (number <= 38))
      var velo = event.value;
      var on = (velo > 64)? new NoteOn : new NoteOff;
      on.pitch = 36 + number - 23;
      on.velocity = velo;
      on.send();
    If a controller between 23 and 38 is received, it's converted  to a not on, if the value is greater than 64, otherwise it's a note off.
    Best,

  • Logic 8 : MAX output when highlighting sound in Midi notes window

    Has anyone ran into this issue?
    In Logic 8, when I highlight midi notes in the midi edit window (usually under mix window) what ever notes I grab bangs out at MAX volume, which as you can imagine, can cause some serious damage when one is mixing. Ever heard an 808 or 909 kick at MAX. My poor monitors actually start to bleed (red blood)...
    Surely there is a way to set the highlighted midi notes output volume?
    HELP

    Are you saying that the volume when selected is louder than with the sequence playing? What is the velocity of the note set to in the event list? Do you perhaps have a playback parameter set in the inspector that is reducing the velocity of the track output on play back?

  • How to create a group of midi notes and...?

    Hi, I was thinking about if it's possible to create for example a group of 32 nidi notes with a specific duration and a specific separation between them without painting them.
    And then, I have a drum on the beat with its midi notes, now I want to have a sound wich midi note is off the beat at the first time but after a time it gets on the beat linearly, is it possible without painting the notes?Maybe with the transform window??
    Thanks a lot!

    Is there a ny option in logic to create multiple midi notes at once?
    In my comment here, I described how to use the Hyper Editor to create multiple midi notes at once. That was for the purpose of creating a drum roll, but the method can also be used in other situations.
    the second is a little bit earlier, the third a little bit more
    I'm not sure I understand, but I might. I think the easiest way to do this is to convert the midi to audio, and then use Flex to alter the length (i.e., tempo) of the region.

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!
