The only version(s) that showed both previously recorded notes and new ones as they were played was the last few PC versions of Logic.

I wonder why they did away with that...it's very helpful to be able to see that....

Why do the piano roll and event editor act differently?

In Logic Studio 9, this wasn't the case, but there are numerous examples now where editing MIDI in the event view acts right, and editing the same MIDI content in the piano roll acts wrong. It's extremely frustrating! Personally, I think who ever modified the behavior of the Piano Roll in Logic 10 should be fired on the spot. I'd downgrade to 9 in a heartbeat if it was still available in the App Store.
Two examples off the top of my head:
- Selecting a MIDI note in the event viewer selects ONLY the note and not all the MIDI objects that fall within the time span of that note. This is not the case in the piano roll as it assumes that when you select a note, you want *more* than just the note you're clicking on. This is a stupid assumption and is new in 10.
- Dragging midi notes in the piano roll randomly deletes all non-note events and changes the action from "move" to "copy" where the only workaround when the piano roll gets stuck in this state is to do the same action in the event viewer.
Please rollback changes made to the piano roll in 10 back to what 9 was as I've wasted countless hours of my life trying to work around these flubs!

Try making a blank project with no settings at all and just add a bass from whatever plugin. Make sure there are no plugins at all on the track (not just muted but removed). Then try again.
I believe palying on the pianoroll with the mouse plays at 127 velocity but I ain´t sure. How about the output? Does it clip/go red? Then it will disort.

Oh no! Note selection in Piano Roll also selects cc data?

Just discovered this in the 10.0.05 update: If you select a note in the Piano Roll edit window Logic will also select any cc data the occurs during that note (or notes). I have never seen this behavior before, and I can find no way to turn it off !!!
Anyone know how to disable this?

However, your suggestion does work in 10.0.04. Somehow they made it so that option is always on in 10.0.05.
If this is confirmed it points to the fact that Logic would do well to have a beta test team of actual users instead of just in house testing... Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Weird note display in piano roll

All they notes in the piano roll display have suddenly acquired blocks of colour and a keyboard has appeared on the right hand side with enormous keys. The blocks of colour seem far apart, not at all like the notes that were there before this weird thing happened. I've undone a dozen times but it seems this isn't something I can undo. I can find nowhere to change this and I can find no mention of it in Logic HELP. Can somebody set me straight please?

Yes, sereen, you're right on the money. I was zoomed in until I could see the atoms that made up the notes. The display was so bizarre - each note was contained in a green box with a yellowish edge. Having never seen anything like it I panicked. Thanks for your help.

How to enable note names in piano roll in Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I am trying to understand how to enable the note names in the piano roll editor, according to some posts it should works creating a mapped instrument, I follow up each step but for me this solution does not work.
Basically I have created a software instrument with Drum Kit and I would like to see the names of each component of the drum when I am editing(for example snare, kick, toms HH etc), currently I only can see values as C4, C3, C2 etc
I appreciate your help, thanks in advanced.

Well it is a shame because the "Piano Roll" is a good and quickly tool for edit drums and midi software. I have used Cubase, ProTools, Reaper and they have notes names options available, I do not understand why Apple did not think in that option as well.
By the way today I have practiced with "Step Editor" option, it is interesting option but it is not better than edit with "Piano Roll".
I hope that Apple think in this little option but great tool for the next release.
Thanks Ericksimon.
PD: If anyone have another idea to edit drums quickly with Logic Pro X I appreciate the recommendation.

Fixed note length in piano roll

Hello ,is there any way to draw notes with a fixed length in the piano roll rather than using the last edited note's length?
In other words,i want the default note length not to automatically change every time i draw/edit a new note (with a different length).
Im quite sure this cannot be done, but i thought i should ask to confirm...
I also feel i want to say my opinion on that,you dont have to read it or answer back to it:
I find this way of editing very confusing and counter creative ,it sure adds extra thinking proccess.While you are drawing notes it
constantly keeps your mind away from your melody line since in every step, you have to stop some milliseconds and think
"which side should i drag to resize now given the new facts left or right?"....
And extra (unnecessary) thinking always acts against creativity.
I think it seems very logical the way i said that and that objectively, irrelevant to any personal preferences, this way of editing
,even if i doesnt annoy everyone ,it is indeed counter creative.
Especcially if one really does a lot of editing rather than recording.
I wish there was an option for that in the preferences, maybe something very simple like a checkbox "Automaticaly define default note" to uncheck.
Im sure it would be only a few hours of programming for the developers to do something like that, but it would be such a saver for people
who edit a lot or for people coming from other DAWS, or for anyone that simply cant get used to it because they feel it anti-intuitive / unatural...
There...i shared my thoughts, at least i feel a better know...!
(However if you read my opinion i d like to hear what other people (that do a lot of editing) feel )

You can use the transform tool but it's "after the fact". Simply rubberband a group of notes to be changed and use the Transform tool under the piano roll's "function" menu. Choose "Fixed Note Length" then set the parameter box to the value you need.
There's also this workaround: Find a note of the correct length already in the sequence or create temporary notes of the correct length. I'm assuming by "draw" you mean using the pencil tool. Move the pencil over the *center of note with the length you need, left mouse click and hold for a second, until the pencil turns into a hand, you will now have the length set for drawing new notes. The pencil tool is still selected so you don't have any additional selections to make.
Yes, it's a hassle, but once you get used to it you will find it's faster than what you've been doing.
*slight correction: when moving the pencil tool over the *center of a note, it will change into the pointer arrow, left click and hold and it will change into the hand, move the pointer away and it goes back to the pencil.

Separate midi drum channels not showing in piano roll, only kick

hey ya'll! I separated my midi drum notes on to separate mudi tracks. But now only the kick track shows up in the piano roll window.
I am using AD and need to be able to edit the drum midi tracks. I use the piano roll window for this. Can someone help me?
Jon

You can select multiple regions in the arrange window and they will all show up in the piano roll. If you color each drum region a different color and select "region colors" in the piano roll view menu you can easily tell which regions are whoch.

How can I edit note events in Piano Roll?

Hi, I am still using 9.1.8 and in the Piano Roll the rectangles representing note events have a line inside the rectangle and I was hoping to use the event list to get that line to extend the audible length of some long notes.
But changing the length values in the event list seems to lengthen the note not the audible portion which I think is represemted by the line inside the rectangle.Is that true?
Is there a way to get the audible sound to keep playing until the end of the visible note event?

Thanks you both ErikSimon and Pancenter. The velocity can be lengthened ,Erik, by what you describe but to the line in the Piano Roll when adjusted in the event list will only lengthen the note. Sorry,hoor you are right but velocity isn't the problem-sustain length is.
Pancenter hit the nail on the head. The sample libraries are put together appently by developers who have some strange ideas about what orchestral intruments can do in the right hands. I have played Baroque Bassoon here in Europe for 20 years and have sat next to classical flute players who can easily hold a note for the length I need. And it is no problem for them to hit it exactly in tune, but we played in tune=meantone, not everything out of tune=Equal Temperament.
Somehow the false assupmtion that all classically trained musicians are incapale of hittng and sustaining a note in tune at the exact moment needed has becom an accepted belief. This is NOT true, the sound of E.W.Q.L. products is the Romantic 101 mantovani string culture which owes more to hollywood films than to reality.
I now see that all I have to do is replace the whole note with two half notes,the second one muted ,and it should play as I want.
Again thank you both for your brave an wise help.

Ultrabeat and Hyper Editor

Hi there,
I have a feeling I know the answer to this question so I am just seeking confirmation really!
I have got used to changing AU controls in the hyper editor using fader event definitions. The way I generally do this is by creating a new definition, connecting a 'monitor' module to the channel in the environment and moving a knob. The monitor reports the (my terminology may be wrong) internal channel, followed by the control ID of the knob I was moving. I then set the channel and number settings on my hyper editor definition and it works fine for controlling that setting.
However, when using ultrabeat I follow exactly the same process, the channel and number gets reported by the monitor module but it never seems to work once i put that info into the hyper editor definition.
The weird thing is that it also doesn't work for inserts on the ultrabeat channel. Using a channel number of 3 or 4 for example allows me to control the inserts in slots 1 and 2 on most channels, but on an ultrabeat channel this doesnt work either!
So, is this just because of the huge array of parameters available on ultrabeat, does it just disable any kind of hyper-editing in this way because the max 'number' setting of 127 is not enough to define all the controls on ultrabeat? It's annoying that it seems to stop inserts as well because otherwise you could use extra effects to replace the stuff you can't do on ultrabeat itself..
oh well, I hope that makes sense!

These kits are mostly reasonably sized multisampled kits, and so require the EXS24 (or Garageband versions of the EXS24).
Ultrabeat's sample playback doesn't support multisampling, so you can't load those kits into Ultrabeat directly.
The best thing to do is create a blank template sample-playback only kit in Ultrabeat, then navigate to your GB samples directories and drag in the kicks/snares/hats/etc drum samples you want, and save the kit. That way, you can create dozens of UB kits with your favourite samples.

Creating a custom drum staff for score and hyper editor

Can anyone clearly explain, how to create a custom drum staff to use in Score page? Each manufactor uses a different mapping. I would like to create a drum score for Korg, Yamaha, BFD, Superior etc.
I often change drum kits (BFD, Yamaha, GM, Korg, etc) while working on a song. I want to create a drum staff style to accomodate each of these. So the drum notation will be standard drum notation.
There is a GM drum staff style in Logic. When I use a GM kit, it works fine. But the best drum instruments use several articulations of each drum. I can't figure out how to edit it a drum staff to display what I need.
For instance Kik is normally C1. But some some drum instruments might use B0, C1, G5, C-1, all playing different articulations of kiks. I need to create a staff style which will show all these different notes as showing up on the bottom of the drum staff (standard drum notation)
I can create a Hyper drumkit for each different brand of drum . But I can't figure out how you incorporate that into the score editor. You must have to create a custom drum staff. But it eludes me....
Thanx...

Thanks, i just found it also here:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/CustEvent.html
i need to define the following class:
- Custom Listener extending the EventListener interface
- Custom Event extending EventObject class
and then finally add the corresponding:
addXXXListener
removeXXXListener
fireXXXEvent
in my component.
This work Great in the NetBeans GUI Builder.

Can not connect to a cluster and hyper-v manager(to one of my hosts) but virtual machines are running (hyperv2012r2)

Hello guys
I'm using a cluster hyper-v 2012 r2 with 9 hosts and after 12 hours without energy, it back again. my problem is:
my cluster do not back
all hyper-v hosts are and running hypervisor... all vms running... my problem is the cluster.... quorum do not back online...
i found the problem... the wmi is not working in one of my hosts and in that, i cant connect to this hyperv manager... from anywhere.... the virtual machines are running on this host... but i cant manage them...
i found an article talking about this and now, im running this script.... but nothing hapen

someone can help me?
tnx!

Tnx for the ansywer..
"When you say "my
cluster do not back" do you mean that the cluster is not running?"
yes... i cant connect to the cluster
Is "quorum
do not back online" another way you are saying the cluster is not running?
yes
Are you using disk witness or file share witness? Recommend
to use disk witness as it provides a more robust level of operation.
witness
Did you run the cluster validation wizard? Turn off the disk tests to prevent VMs from
failing over, but run all other tests. What errors/warnings do you get?
When i try to run validation tests, one of my hosts (same that i cant manage vitual machines), fail to join in tests but all others are tested

Notes disappeared from my phone and on Gmail folder

After my last sync, my notes on my iPhone 5 seemed to disappear and I no longer see a folder within Gmail for them.
I can go to Notes as an application and they all seem to be there on my computer.
Is there a way to get them back onto my phone? Is there a way to restore the folder to Gmail so that it syncs regularly?
Thanks

Hi CogoMD,
If you are no longer seeing synced Notes on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a backup copy of your notes, then double check the Notes sync settings as outlined in the following article:
Syncing Notes on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Time not disappearing when using safari and email. How do I make it go back to normal.

My ipad has just started keeping the time and battery settings displayed all the time. Not sure why its doing this and can't
Find where to turn it off in settings. Help

If you mean at the top of the screen then that info bar will stay on the screen when you are in Safari and Mail, and a lot of other apps and you can't remove it (apps where it won't show include Videos and Photos if viewing photos full screen)

Copy and Paste Disabled in Piano Roll

HI All - this is probably something very basic, but I can't do a simple 'copy and paste' in the piano roll view of MIDI events. If I select a group of events on a drum track and then select Copy, the Paste command is greyed out, i.e. the events are not being copied to the Clipboard. I don't know what setting or preference I could have changed that makes such a basic functionality unavailable. Any tips?

Hey Thanks Bob, and, aw shucks, that is so obvious now you mention it. I think it was flashback to my original sequencing software, in which you would do all your edits in the Piano roll view, and I was subconsciously remembering that.
??? Copy and Paste works perfectly in the Piano Roll editing.... unless you're using the new standard (somewhat lame) single screen editing function in early versions of Logic 9... it's a shame they made this the default behavior.
Next time you wish to have all the the editing functions in the Piano Roll (formerly Matrix) editor hold down the Option key when Dbl clicking on a MIDI region. The Piano Roll will open in a floating window that has full editing functions...
Upgrade to 9.1.3 as this has been fixed, why are you using older versions of the program? You have Intel machines, right?

Enter triplet values in piano roll... and volume question

How can I get the piano roll grid view to temporarily change to subdivisions of 3 per per beat (instead of 4) in a 4/4 piece so I can align triplets?
Also, how do I change the volume of a single note in the piano roll editor?
TIA

1. In the transport bar, where you see the time signature (default 4/4), just below that is the beat subdivision. You can click on it and drag up or down to change the value. A value of 12 will subdivide a beat into thirds.
2. You can't really change the volume of a note, per se, since volume is a MIDI parameter that doesn't apply to single notes, but rather as continuous data. You can, however, change the velocity of notes, which will affect the volume of the note if the note's velocity is programmed for volume change. To do this, choose the Velocity tool (escape, then 9) and click the note and drag up or down.
