My MIDI Patches keep changing.

I've recently transferred from Logic 5.5 on PC to Logic 7.1.1 on a Mac so I fairly clued-up on using midi program changes in Logic.
I recorded a song with 8 midi tracks, saved it, opened it up the following day and three of the midi tracks were set to the wrong synth patch - not the ones I expected. I did a 'Revert-to-Saved' and the same three tracks set to yet another random patch. They are in the correct MIDI bank though.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I never saw it before in Logic 5.5.
Please be gentle if I'm doing something silly - this is my first post.

I've got the same problem here (LP 7.1.1 /OsX 10.4.3 ProAppSupport 3.1/ permissions repaired).
It's a bug in Logic and Apple was able to reproduce this when I corresponded by mail to the Apple support (90 days support), 1 year ago.
But Apple is not reactive,
please notice this bug to Apple at Logic Pro feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/logic.html
see my precedent post:
1. Random MIDI program changes:
The command Send to MIDI > Used Instruments MIDI Settings sends sometimes wrong program changes. In fact program changes are duplicated between MIDI tracks.
example: assign MIDI track 1 with program change 1 (program button checked in the instrument's parameter box in arrange window), MIDI track 2 with program 2, MIDI track 3 with program 3 etc... After several commands Send to MIDI > Used Instruments MIDI Setting, track 2 send program 1, track 3 sends program 1, track 4 program 3, it's random.
To reproduce this bug: Assign a key command to Send to MIDI > Used Instruments MIDI Setting, create a multi instrument in the environment window, create a monitor object, link the output of the multi instrument to the monitor, create MIDI tracks in the arrange window, create sequences on each track, assign different programs on each tracks (program button checked) and perform the key command Send to MIDI Used instruments several times, take a look to the MIDI monitor and see the chaos.
What disappointment when you load an old song and the piano play a strings sound or the bass plays a flute sound, and of course you don't remember the originals program changes assigned on the tracks. Of course the problem occurs too when you load a song saved with the option "After loading song send used instruments MIDI settings".
I've experienced that this bug occurs only on dual processors machines under os X. This bug is present since version 5.3 of logic and is always here in version 7.1
I've corresponded with Apple when I bought Logic Pro 7.0 and they were able to reproduce the problem, they recognized that it is a bug, but they don't already fix it in 7.1.
I can't understand how a so big bug can reside into a professional application like Logic for a so long time. I don't understand why almost nobody is confronted to this problem and why there isn't more posts on forums on this subject. Logic's users don't use MIDI?

  • Calendar colors keeping changing to purple

    one specific calendar keeps changing by itself to purple. even when i change it back to the color i want, it goes directly back to purple. this happens on my ipad and when accessing icloud on my mac book

    It seems that my green work calendar is now purple as well.
    In the past work was a light green and personal was a slightly different shade of green.  Now it is purple, not my favorite color but it is distinct.  It would be nice to pick you own colors
    I am an ical user,  rarely do I sign in using icloud via the net however this is how all my devices are linked
    This happened a while back and then reverted, if Apple would just have some notices of this at least we would know there is nothing wrong.  I am getting concerned that my data is not safe !

  • Isight videos keeps changing color tone and temperature

    When I try to record a movie with isight, the color temperature keeps changing and flashes from a warmer color to a cooler color. It never stays in one tone. Help!

    Welcome to Discussions, kaynen430
    (0) The first thing to use on any iSight problem is http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    For system wide problems, the reset suggested there often restores proper iSight functioning.
    If the problem is only with the _one app_ that you are now using to record video, reinstalling that app may help.
    However, if your iSight's color keeps changing in all Apple apps and in all user accounts you test, you may have a system software issue. You can test whether software will correct your problem by trying the following:
    (1) First, use Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then download and apply the COMBO update for the Mac OS version that you use. You do not show which OS X version you use, but you can find it in the list returned by this search:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&product=&q=combo%20AND%20update
    Repair permissions again IMMEDIATELY after the restart that finishes the installation.
    Then test iSight again. (Repeat iSight Troubleshooting suggestions if necessary.)
    (2) If properly applying the Combo Update does not resolve your problem, you may have problems within the basic OS X software.
    To test that, reinstall your OS X, update to the latest OS X version you use by using the process in (1) above, and then check again for proper iSight function.
    (3) If you need to post back for more suggestions, it will be helpful if you also post the following:
      • OS X version (you may want to add this to your Profile in "My Settings" when logged in)
      • Which app and version you originally posted about
      • Whether your problem is EXACTLY the same in every app and user account you tested
      • Which of the suggestions already offered you have used
      • Anything new you learned while trying the suggestions above.
    (4) We will watch for your status update and offer specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.

  • Logic instrument keeps changing on playback

    Logic string instruments keeps changing to different instrument during playback even though I have re-recorded it as a particular instrument that I want.  How do I fix this problem and get it to play the sound that I intend it to play originally?  I am using a string sound from the Logic Library.  Need to get the track to stop switching the instrument to another instrument sound during playback.

    Do you mean that the strings are changing to a different articulation (ie legato to pizzicato or similar), or completely changing sounds altogether (eg strings to synth or something)?
    If the former, many of Logic's Orchestra sounds repond to MIDI CC1 (Mod wheel) to change articulations. Possibly, you are recording such info, or you rcontroller is transmitting the data on "on it's own". There are usually alternative sounds available without the switching function.

  • Volume tracks keep changing

    hi,
    Although I don't have any automation or any continuos controller for the volume of the tracks they keep changing.
    any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem for SO long, until just now. Midi tracks would jump up in Volume at certain points, and I couldn't control.
    Found the answer (for my issue, at least) here: http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71347
    Now my remaining question is, how can I PREVENT Volume events from being written in? Cause looking at one midi track's events right now, I'd have to go thru the list and delete about 15 different volume events for the volume to not jump around on me...
    I think I have Midi Volume assigned to a fader on my midi keyboard... not to figure out how to unlearn that assignment...

  • MSI VOX Audio default settings keep changing on startup

    I've had this VOX tuner for about a year and a half and I've used it on 2000, XP SP1, SP2, etc...and I've fought with it every single time I reconfigure the O/S.  I am a computer support professional - I know a couple of things about drivers, registry file, etc...and I STILL can't get this thing to work consistently!
    Anyway, when I install the drivers and MSIPVS software, it always selects the MIDI synth input instead of Line In as the default audio input setting.  I reconfigure MSIPVS and tell it to use Line In instead - everything works fine.  Then I exit and restart MSIPVS - it goes back to MIDI and I have to reconfigure the audio to use Line In every single time I run the software.  Of course, that means the recording doesn't work - because as soon as I click on record, it sets the audio default back to MIDI synth again.  I've used two different audio cards with this and they all do the same thing (SoundBlaster Live! value and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2).  I've used several different motherboards - I've completely replaced all components in my computer several times and I always have this same problem. 
    I've got an internal MSI TV tuner card on another machine running this same software - it has the same problem.  It won't exit half the time (the window closes but you can still hear the audio running until you restart the computer). 
    The hardware seems fine, but the software is unbearably poor!  I'd drop the software in a second if I could find something else that works better. 
    The weird thing is that in uninstalling, reinstalling, cleaning out the registry, fiddling endlessly -once in a while I can actually get it to work, but I have no idea what I've done to make this work twice in a row.  I've reinstalled the software dozens of times now, reinstalled Windows...I don't know what else to try. 
    Obviously, I've upgraded all audio and video drivers - none of that makes any difference.
    If I open the SoundBlaster mixer program, as I start the MSIPVS program, I can see the MIDI and Line In channels get muted and un-muted but by the time the software loads, it's defaulted back to MIDI Synth again.
    Anybody have ANY ideas?  I'm desperate to try anythig now.  I'm considering throwing the whole thing out and getting an ATI tuner or something completely different - as long as it doesn't use this Intervideo software...
    Thanks.
    Oh yeah...one more thing I've noticed is that the WinCinema Manager causes all kinds of problems - if this program is running, the channel keeps changing to 1, 11, or 111 - it seems to be sending some kind of remote control signals to change the channels so I've had to disable this program - then the channels seem to work fine (but maybe it's causing my audio problems...?)

  • Status keeps changing from invisible to online: why the issue is ignored?

    There is a serious issue raised in the parallel thread, which is critical for many people: "Status keeps changing from invisible to online" (initiated on ‎16-11-2014 by b.agne, Mac section). In short, when starting using a device, the Skype status changing from "invisible" to "online" - sometimes just for a moment, though enough for others to notice you. These affects very much any type of devices. I am sure the issue has already led to multiple personal crisises and potentially financial losses due to buseness partnership issues (I came close to that myself, and now use anything but Skype for business). The question is: WHY the issue is completely ignored by Skype, Microsoft and expert comunity? Please post the solution if anybody knows how to fix the issue, or suggest how to make Microsoft to know that it should be fixed. Kind regard...

    Hi, I also have the same issue. I change the status to Invisible and a later on it is already as "Online", without having even touched/opened Skype. The only way that I see this may happen is that I have the app installed on the smartphone, but before it never had this issue, but from some month ago it started. Any correction or suggestion to work around this issue? Regards

    I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect).  I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.  So I can't download itunes software updates or update my iphone even though I have just verified my info.  I know others that have this problem but can't get support to resolve it.

  • I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

    I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
    I cannot sign in.  the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
    This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com  I don't even know what that is.  I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them.  I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod.  Anyone know how to deal with this.  I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

  • My display keeps changing to 800x600 after upgrade to 10.8.3

    After upgrading to 10.8.3 my display keeps changing to 800x600 after it wakes up from sleep. I have to go to preferences and set again, and it works. It is quite annoying. Any clue.

    Not much to go on.

    Have you tried resetting the > NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.

  • How do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas?

    my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas on how to correct this?  This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

    I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem.  It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about.  (there was a new iCloud release, hence...)  No ETA for a fix yet.  I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list.  I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve).  I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward.  They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset.  ;-)

  • Why does the color on my calendar keeps changing colors on its own

    I have several color coded calendars for each family members.  My daugther's calendar all of a sudden changed from green to blue (which is my son's) by itself.  I changed it back to green and it automatically changed back to blue again.   This happened once before a while back and after I keep changing back the color, it corrected itself eventually.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it permanently?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Same problem on top of regularly dropping WIFI when all of my other devices have no problem.
    Owned this laptop since FEB 2014. My worst experience with a laptop to date. Wish I'd bought ASUS now which I also considered before buying.Another family member bought ASUS & no issues.

  • Safari 5.1.2 keeps changing text field randomly on text input

    Hello everybody.
    Safari keeps changing the text field on input, do you know how to correct this issue?
    Here is an example:
    Let's say I load www.google.com, it appears in the safari window as usual.
    Suppose I begin to type a search in the google search field at the top right of the safari window (not the one on the google page)
    if when doing this the sentence is long for the search, at some point randomly, the rest of the text will be entered this time in the google search text field on the google page! (which is the very next text field) So when I hit enter it makes google search half of my request...
    Safari changed the text field I was into with no warning. I want to say I do not press tab at any moment.
    This is annoying really, and this does not appear anywhere else than in Safari. It seems the issue is not systematic, but appears quite often.
    I have no universal access setting except "enable access for assistive device"
    I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.
    Perhaps the problem I have is linked to some window refreshing?
