Multiple Instruments with Live Monitoring?

I am using Logic 9 for live performance + multitrack recording. I have just used a single virtual instrument on its own channel strip; Superior Drummer receiving midi channel 10. I select the channel strip in the Arrange window, with Record enabled, and voila .... live monitoring of the drums.
But, now I am adding a second virtual instrument on another channels strip; WIVI Band receiving on midi channel 11, 12, and 13.
The problem is that I am only able to live monitor the output from one of the instrument channel strips at a time (the one that is selected in the Arrange window. How do I live monitor both (multiple) instruments? I want to do this regardless of whether the transport is moving or not....
Thanks in advance...

Settings/Recording...
Enable: Auto Demix By Channel
Tracks have to be record enabled otherwise only the selected track will play.
To add to this... each virtual instrument will need to be on it's own MIDI channel plus your Master keyboard needs to be able to switch output channels to hear each instrument.
Note: Logic's Settings are on a per song/project basis.
Logic's Preferences are Global and will not change for each project.

Controlling multiple instruments with one VI

I have 5 instruments that I need to control simutaneously. Right now, each is controlled separately by its own VI, all of which run in LabVIEW 7.1. I would like to consolidate control into one panel instead of 5. I have seen examples of libraries that contain multiple sub-VIs controlled by a main VI, but I cannot figure out how data is passed between them, or how to create a library from my existing VIs. Is there a way to do this?

For a simplistic answer, you just have to place your existing VIs into a new top level main VI. In order to pass data from a subVI to a mian, you wire the controls/indicators on the subVI to the subVI's connector pane. These is really basic LabVIEw knowledge and if you don't know how to do this, then you should probably spend some time learning LabVIEW basics. A great starting point is at http://www.ni.com/academic/lv_training/how_learn_lv.htm.
With 7.1, a library is an llb file and you really don't need to use one of these. They can be handy for distributing an application but should not be used during development. Just keep your VIs in folders.

Trouble with live monitoring my overdubbs.

im using an 8 track presonus firpod that connects through firwire to my computer (obviously). Im trying to do a vocal overdub but I cant figure out how to hear the mix while hearing what I am recording at the same time. I'm ending up having to output the sound through the computer while only having one ear in while I record. Basically, I can either listen through the headphone jack on the firepod to what I am recording at the moment, or listen to the mix through the computer headphone jack while I record without live reference of what im doing. Does anyone know how to hear the whioe thing through the firepod?
the only quick fix I can think of right now is using the headphone jack on the computer to route the mix into one chanell on the firepod, while I use another chanell to record my overdub, listening to both of them through the firepod headphone jack, but it doesnt seem like I should have to do this.
Thanks,

The knob on the Firepod marked "Mixer" allows you to control the balance between sound coming from the computer and your live mic.
For this to work, you need to route the recorded stuff on your computer to the Firepod. You'll likely do this by routing all the recorded track to the Main Mix in Audition, then, in the Firepod control software, route the Main Mix to where you need it in the Firepod. Once it's there, use the Mixer knob to set the headphone balance you want.

Soundfonts with multiple instruments

I've successfully installed some soundfonts in GarageBand but I'm having trouble with soundfonts that contain more than one instrument. I don't see how to get past the "first" or "default" instrument in the soundfont. How do I access the other instruments?
Thanks,
Jason

unfortunately GB doesn't offer support for multiple instruments. if you have a MIDI controller you may be able to change sound banks with that

System variables cannot be monitored with National Instruments Published Variable Monitor

Hi everyone !
Currentlty I´m facing a problem with shared variables libraries.
All shared variables libraries used in my application are set to autodeploy with Autodeploy Variables in the Project Explorer Window; when the application starts a window is shown - Deploy ... - that shows the deployment progress and by selecting Close on successful completion this window is closed automatically and that is exactly what happens in my application, but when my application starts to read shared variables bound to daqmx virtual channels an error occurred - code: -1950679034; source: ni_tagger_lv_Read; possible reason(s): The shared variable has no value.
After that I decided to open the National Instruments Published Variable Monitor to check if my application libraries were really deployed and I found that every shared variable which wasn´t bound to a daqmx channel was working perfectly but those that were bound to a daqmx channel weren´t - their qualities were Stale No Value. When this happenned I immediatly thought it could be some problem occurring with the binding process, then I decided to also monitor the global virtual channels to which my shared variables were supposedly bound and I found that their qualities were Stale. I don´t know what else I can do, can anyone help me with this?
My applications runs on a PXI 8186 controller under Windows XP, LabVIEW 8.0.1 and LabVIEW DSC 8.0.1.

Make sure if the DAQmx driver version is 8.0 or later, the shared variable binding to global channel feature is available since version 8.0. You can download the latest version of DAQmx driver from our website www.ni.com in drivers and updates section.

GPU acceleration fix for Dell Intel and Nvidia chipsets with external monitor?

I have a Dell XPS laptop with both integrated Intel chips and Nvidia chips and I can only get the GPU acceleration to work when I don't have any external monitors plugged in.
Is there some way I can get Illustrator to enable the Nvidia GPU and stop being confused by multiple chipsets on external monitors? I really like the live zoom.

same problem here,
'm getting a little frustrated trying to get my laptop working with my LG DLP 3D ready projector to display in 3D. The projector itself will work in 3D as long as the resolution is 1024x768@120hz and the laptop's NVidia GTX 770M should have no issues driving the projector with this resolution.
Where it seems like the problems occur is Intel HD 4600 graphics driver gets in the way every time i try to run anything 3D, the software Im using to run any 3D type files do not recognize the projector as a 3D capable device because all the laptop is using is the Intel HD 4600 graphics.
If I could somehow turn off the Intel graphics and just force the laptop to just use the NVidia card I think all my issues will go away. I just am not having success in doing this.
I have tried to go into the NVidia control panel and under 3D settings pick the software program that runs my 3D files and tell it to use the NVidia card...but it never works.
I think everything is sent through the Intel graphics card regardless if the laptop is using the NVidia card (just guessing here)?
I also tried to simply uninstall the drivers but that did not work,
I also tried to disable the Intel graphics but it then went into some type of generic display driver mode and still would not work.
I also went into the BIOS to look for any settings that would allow me to disable the Intel graphics card ..no luck, could not find any settings for this.
Can someone help me with this? how can I disable the Intel graphics and force the laptop to just use the NVidia card all the time?
Thanks!!

Problems when scrubbing through timeline with live update on

Hey guys! I have a problem. Sometimes when I scrub through my timeline in AE with live update on and I try to get to a frame that hasn't been rendered yet, AE freaks out. On my windows taskbar, multiple instances of AE seem to populate the taskbar (although none of them are selectable) and the screen flashes in between my desktop BG and AE. Any thoughts? thanks!

Check the Event Viewer for the exact cause of the crashes. sounds like the same old driver crashes, which could be your graphics card or another component on your system like audio devices. Also verify your device manager for any devices that may be flagged and repair their drivers. This can go down to trivial things like your SATA controlelr driver or the temperature monitoring of the chip sending wrong signals when it supposedly gets too hot...

Playing real instruments with software instruments

Hey, I've been using logic for years but have never tried playing with a real instrument until now. When i connect my guitar Logic recognizes it and changes the driver to unknown USB device, but there is no sound since built-in input isn't selected and the instrument records but i can't hear it until i switch it back. How do you play real instruments with software instruments? Should be pretty simple. Thanks.
- Sean

Okay… the way Logic works is to use the same device for both Inputs & Outputs (there is a way round this, but let's not go there just now. First person to say 'Aggregate Device' gets thumped!).
So when you choose your device (usefully known as "Unknown USB Device") in Audio MIDI Setup, this means that you are no longer using your Built-in Inputs & Outputs — because that's the alternative.
Which means you won't hear anything through your speakers connected to your Mac. To hear an Output, you would have to connect your monitors/headphones/etc. to your device.
Furthermore:
_Auto Input Monitoring_
If Auto Input Monitoring is switched on, you will only hear the input signal during the actual recording—before and afterwards, you’ll hear the previously recorded audio on the track, while the sequencer is running. This helps you to judge punch in and punch out points when punch recording. If Auto Input Monitoring is switched off, you will always hear the input signal.
_To switch auto input monitoring on, do one of the following:_
• Choose +Options > Audio > Auto Input Monitoring+ from the main menu bar (or use the +Toggle Auto Input Monitoring+ key command).
• Control-click the Record button in the Transport, and turn on the +Auto Input Monitoring+ setting in the pop-up menu.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

Yosemite consolidating multiple desktops on dual monitors,

I have a Mac mini (mid 2010) - 2.4 GHz - 350 GB - Yosemite 10.10.2 - with dual LG monitors. Instead of using Mission Control I prefer to have multiple desktops on each monitor. I dedicate a single app to each desktop, e.g., Safari, iTunes & iPhoto on Mon1 facing Mail, Messages & Calendar on Mon2, and swipe between apps, which I find more convenient. Six numbered desktops plus Dashboard.
In Mavericks this arrangement was preserved on restart. However, in Yosemite, all apps on Mon2 are consolidated in a single desktop, the remaining 2 desktops - 4 & 5 - have migrated blank to Mon1, PLUS an additional blank desktop - 6 - is generated on Mon1. The single desktop on Mon2 is now 7. On subsequent restarts there become eight, then nine, then ten desktops, etc.
I've been up and down the settings options, tried System Help, outside searches, and even mentioned the issue in passing during an unrelated Apple Tech Support call. To no avail. I had hoped that one of the updates would resolve this. It is easily but inconveniently resolved manually, but as I mentioned this was a non issue in Mavericks.
I mentioned this problem in an earlier post, but in less detail. Has anyone else experienced or heard of this?

I did find a workaround........ that works so far....... If I put FCPX into full screen mode. Then my events dissapear!!!! But if I toggle on and off the "Window/Show Events in a separate window" menu then the Events reappear and I can swipe between desktops and all the windows behave as they should. That's a relief. The old method doesn't work but at least this one does. I hope this helps someone who is swiping like a mad man like I was.

Multiple problems with Mail

Here is the setup:
iMac Intel running 10.4.8
Mail 2.1.1
seperate user accounts, each with their own email address
email is valornet.com (local ISP), set up to download to Mail
Multiple problems with one of the user accounts (not affecting the others):
1. Multiple copies in the inbox of the same message. These are brand new, not a week old as some other threads have mentioned. When I go to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced I have already clicked the "Remove Now" button, also the "Remove copy from server..." is checked.
2. Mail will not stop retrieving new mail. The circle thing next to the Inbox on the left just keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning...
3. Cannot quit Mail. Have to go in Activity Monitor and Force Quit.
4. My trash folder is gone.
If anyone can help me clean up this mess, I would appreciate it.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

How to synchronise with two monitors

Dear NI,
I have an application, for that i want to show the two different screens with different mesurement values. i am using CRT and LCD screens. in CRT screens i am running main vi in this screens i have configuration, testsettings, trendmill,and operator name etc. are displayed, i need the seperate screens for to show measurement values to another screen. how , is it possible to do this? can able to two diferent exe with diferent monitors? and how to synchronise two monitors for my application.

Hi Balaji,
So if you have an extended desktop across two monitors then I would say you had two options.
1. Within one VI you could simple design the front panel in such a way that it extends across both screens with the relevant information in the right screen. The fact that there are two monitors present is transparent to the applications.
2. With two VIs there is a property for front panels to choose which monitor they are displayed on. This is available by wiring a VI reference to a property node and selecting front panel window >> monitor. You then enter an id for the monitor you want it to be displayed on, this is a numeric e.g. your primary monitor will be zero. You can see the property node help page here.
I hope this is the information you are after.

HELP with HP monitor 2309m

Today I turn on my HP monitor and I get only a color patterns.
http://youtu.be/2bgwI4rh2Lc
The cable is well attached to the monitor and the PC, I also changed the VGA cable.
My PC is sending the video signal, I tested it with another monitor.
As soon as I turn on my monitor, those patterns appeared. I turned off the monitor and turned it on again, and they reappeared. They are like a test pattern.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my monitor and how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Hello @Gannd,
I understand that your HP Pavilion 2309m LCD wide-screen monitor is only giving you color patterns on it's display. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.
