Musical Typing Window

Is there anyway to make the musical typing keyboard work with Finale? I used to own a huge rack of gear and have now paired down to a single laptop. Simple entry in Finale takes a long time as does to some extend "speedy entry" Hyperscribe is the fastest, but requires hooking up my pro keyboard etc.
Anyone know how this could be bridged or better, dose finale come with musical typing?
Thanks for any help.

MidiKeys does much the same thing - shows a keyboard on screen and lets you use your main keyboard. It's free.

  • Music Typing Window Disappears?

    hey guys,
    When i use Garageband, the music typing window has completely disappeared in one of my files. Is there any way to get it back?
    I've tried re-opening it and that doesnt work. I tried restarting garageband and the computer also, this doesnt help. In my other files i am still able to use music typing.. I can also use the keyboard typing, just not music typing.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers

    please don't post the same question multiple times. see the first thread you started.

  • My music typing window wont show on the desktop

    is there a hot key for that or setting

    Try deleting the Finder .plists. You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences.  Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
    Relaunch Finder and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
    If the Finder is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
    If that doesn't work, try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Musical Typing problem

    Hello there,
    I just started to use mainstage without a midi controller keyboard. I'm using the musical typing feature to listen to the bank of sounds.
    When i type something like a F#7 chord ("t", "u", "o", ";") i cannot hear the four notes together (when i'm playing them all at once)... it seems there's a problem when i'm trying to mix certain notes with the musical typing keyboard. (Some complicated chords just don't work).
    I have the same problem with Logic 8 . (press caps lock to see the musical typing window).
    I can't see why i can't get that F#7 chord.
    I'm using mac os 10.5.1 with a macbook pro 2,4 ghz.
    thanks

    Computer keyboards aren't designed to respond to multiple keys all pressed at once. I think you'll find the most a standard Mac keyboard will deal with is four keys at once, but even then they won't respond with minimal latency, because they aren't designed for this.
    It's a limitation to how computer keyboards are built and processed, not a Logic/Mainstage issue as such. The caps lock keyboard is a convenience thing - it's not intended to be a suitable interface for playing Rachmaninov on...

  • Oxygen 49 and musical typing not responsive with Logic X

    So recently my M Audio Oxygen 49 Midi keyboard stopped working. I tried switching to the Musical typing and that didn't work either. I don't know if Logic X doesn't support the keyboard but then why does the musical typing not work. Any solutions?

    Assuming that your Audio output is still working ok... Drag an Apple Loop to the arrange window and see if you can hear it play back to confirm.. and if you cannot hear anything go to Logic's Preferences/Audio and check that Core Audio is checked and the correct audio output is selected for Output...
    Musical Typing works fine with LPX and any OS X combination so the issue has to be either;
    User Error...
    or...
    Some form of preferences corruption.. or issue with your Control Surfaces...
    Therefore... try the following first.... deleting both the Logic10.plist and the CS files...
    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:
    Quit Logic Pro
    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.
    Restart the computer.
    Note: If you cannot find the two files.. you have not followed the instructions exactly as written.....

  • Musical typing not working properly

    Hey guys I'm new to Logic Pro X and Im having some difficulties with the Musical typing keyboard.
    For some reason the note "E2" does not play when I hit the "D" key on my keyboard, all the other notes work fine and even with lower and high octaves but for some reason "E2" does not work. I checked the Velocites and an its fine so I have no idea what it could be as it was working earlier today.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Open your Controller Assignments window (cmd-K), delete the assignment to E2 and close the window. Make sure Learn Mode is off (=grey button - blue button means it's on))

  • Cannot hear musical typing.

    I added an audio track to a blank Garageband project, and attempted to play a virtual instrument track over that audio track using musical typing. When the audio track is inserted, I cannot hear anything from the virtual instrument track. Whether the audio is playing or not, no key I hit makes noise. However, I can record on the virtual instrument track, and hear back what I've recorded. I simply cannot hear it otherwise (including as I record). Im hoping that this is just a quick fix because I am relatively new to the program. Thanks!

    Hi
    In iChat 6 there was some cross over between the Bonjour Account's "Send As I type" and any  Yahoo login (which has it in the Yahoo for Mac app but not in iChat) and actually allowed some form of staggered Messages to be sent over Yahoo.
    The Bonjour Option has now disappeared in Messages and it now cannot be done.
    If on the other hand you mean that the chat window is not displaying the 3 dot ellipses to indicating someone is typing that is a different matter.

  • How do I use my computer keyboard instead of a MIDI keyboard to enter notes? In Garage Band I simply go to View - musical typing but there is no such prompt in Logic Pro 7.

    Ihave always used my Logic Pro 7 program with a MIDI keyboard for note entry. I do not presently have a MIDI keyboard and wish to use my computer keyboard for note entry. I know this is possible but cannot recall the command to set that up. Can anyone refresh my memory? I know that on Garageband on just need to go to view - musical typing but that is not the command in Logic Pro.

  • How can i transfer my music from windows 7 to a mini mac

    I need some help as I bought a mini mac for more storage for my music on windows 7 and greater ease of use for managing my music library.
    I also have an external hard drive full of music 750GB I was hoping to transfer.
    I am now considering an external hard drive as a last resort to at least rip my several 100 cds as nothing has worked to date.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm a real Apple newbie
    Thanks

    Depending on the size of your music/video collection, an external HD is probably the best way to go.
    I have nearly a Terabyte of music and videos and that simply won't fit on a Mini's 500Gb HD, so I keep it elsewhere.
    Moving it is simply a matter of physically copying the files to the external HD and then pointing iTunes to the location.

  • New ipod, started up with Mac but want to download from music from windows?

    Ok, so I got my new 5th gen ipod and started it up with my Mac. However all my music is on my old laptop..windows. Is it possible without restoring the ipod to download my music from windows? By the way I am hopeless and my Mac is 2nd hand so I am not sure if it is MacOS9.2.x. Not that that makes a difference, just so you know. Or will I have to put all my music onto my MAC? Please advise

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.

If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

  • Moving music from Windows Media Player to iTunes

    Hi
    Apologies if this is repeating what others have asked many times in the past - I know what these forums can get like sometimes! I have had a look around though and couldn't find a definitive answer, so...
    I have to date put all my music in Windows Media player on my PC. I am now going to buy an ipod so, obviously, I need my music in iTunes.
    Is it simply a case of copying the folders from 'My Music' into the iTunes version of 'My Music'? If so, where is the iTunes version of 'My Music'..?!
    Thanks
    Percy

    FIrst before I say anything else, As of now its only...6:30am here on the east coast USA (Which means its 3AM in California) so the event has not taken place yet. Apple is very secritive about what there doing, and anything you hear is rumor til apple comes out, says what there doing/announcing and makes it fact.
    Now that said, there has been RUMORS (So far) apple MIGHT release some type of new nano and/or video ipod along with an announcement they have made deals with hollywood to start selling movies on there US store.
    I just wanted to give you a heads up just incase you was buying today and the rumors turned out to be true. I would of utterly hated for you me or anyone to buy an ipod today, and then later in the afternoon, or tommorrow apple release a new ipod. If that happend to me... I would be Cursing up a storm (Southern slang meaning I would be REALLY UPSET LOL)
    Theres alot of news about the event along with rumors that have be heard, just not confirmed by apple yet. One of them is here

  • Musical typing problem ... help?

    Hi,
    I just installed Leopard. I was previously running 10.3 and I had garageband and everything worked fine. I put garageband on the 10.5 and I no longer have musical typing. When i select software instrument it is asking me if i want to save the instrument or discard it. I have tried both options and neither of them allow the typing to work. Does anyone know why this is? Am I looking at a compatibility issue? Garageband is version 3.0.5 i think ... it may be 3.0.4 but i thought the update just went through.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Nick
