Thanks Fermusic! I had the same issue as the other person, and followed your instructions. You really know your stuff! (Btw, I listened to "The Game of Life", and it is a great song! Sounds to me to be very radio-worthy song for top-40 radio stations here in the USA.) I've gotten to the point where I have your ISO files in my environment, but they are not controlling my synth correctly. I have a Roland JV-1010 with the SR-JV80-02 Orchestral Expansion card (actually, I have two JV-1010's, and the other has the SR-JV80-16 Orchestral II Expansion card; my aim is to hook the 2nd JV-1010 to the first via the Midi Thru, but I'll worry about that later). Anyway, in the Environment I clicked all 16 boxes for the JV-1010 and all 16 boxes for the SR-JV80-02 Orchestral, as well as all 16 boxes for Session, which is included with the JV-1010. So, now when I create a track in my main arrange window, I can make it an external MIDI track, and access the menu in the Library tab that has all the instruments I imported into my Environment, which is good. When I select the JV-1010 option, it lists all 16 channels that I enabled, and same for the Orchestral and Session options. Once I select one of those, I go under the Inspector, and check the box next to Program, and then select the patch I want from the list of 1 through 127. However, when I do that, the sound I get when I play my MIDI keyboard does not correspond with the listed patch. Furthermore, the JV-1010 by itself (without the expansion card) has about seven sets of 1-127 (there's Preset A, B, C, D, and E). I don't know how to access all these different sets of 1-127. The Inspector only gives me the option to select from one set of 1-127, which I think is Preset-A. How do I access Presets B, C, D, and E? And likewise with the Session and Orchestral options, in actuality there's two sets of 1-127, but it only lists one set. How do I get to the other 127 patches? Also, your ISO list does not include the Orchestral II expansion- is that one available?
There's another similar, but different problem I'm having. I purchased Finale 2009, which comes with the Garritan Personal Orchestra sound library. I don't know how to access that sound library from within Logic. I Googled it the other day, and someone made mention of the Kontakt Player. Apparently, Finale/Garritan used to ship with the Kontakt Player, but they've replaced it with their own player, called Aria Player, and I can't bring up Aria Player from within Logic. I guess I will try to download a free version of Kontakt Player and maybe Logic will recognize it.
All these issues have in common the same problem: inter-usability of sound libraries, be they software sounds like Garritan Personal Orchestra or hardware sounds like the JV-1010. This is an extremely vexing and challenging issue! Btw, once I get Logic to recognize all of my sound libraries (software and hardware alike), I'm going to turn my attention to Finale, and try to get all of my Logic sound library as well as the JV-1010 working with it. Any advice there? Haha- sorry to overload you with questions, but you are apparently a well of knowledge!
