Piano Roll Incorrect Note Playback

I've been recording through my keyboard into the computer no problem for ages. I recorded a song last night, played it back soo many times and this afternoon I am about to put more instruments in, and the piano roll is playing B2 as E2. It's only in one track and it doesn't matter whether I copy it from one track to a different track, it keeps reading this one note as a completely different one. I have also tried dragging another note down to it. When I click on the note, it recognises it, but then when I play it again, it goes back to reading B2 as E2. I've tried closing and opening the app to no avail. Any suggestions?

10 and Steinway piano I think. Using my keyboard to play through it. Works with everything else. It's just so weird. That one track gets confused and I found out that another segment further on where I re-recorded and that gets confused between two completely different notes! For now I've deleted it and started again. I was paranoid that if I added to the file that other keyboard tracks would get confused. So far no other file has been confused *fingers crossed* but i was wondering. Whether I had pressed something by accident that changed the keys around

Why are my piano roll changes not being bounced down? Help!

I'm trying to make some minor changes to a click track sound. Just moved it down a key in piano roll, but no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to take in the final bounce down. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

Think of the arrow pointing from large to small, so the wide fat or large end of the arrow is at the top and the sharp pointy or small end is at the bottom. So it will sort from large to small and alaphbetically Z is larger than A. Click the Name bar and the arrow will reverse with sharp pointy end, small, at the top and large fat end at the bottom so it will now sort A to Z, as A is deemed to be smaller than Z.
Hope that helps?

Why are midi notes in piano roll lower volume when selected with pointer than when in playback?

I'm using Logic X on mac mini. When I select midi notes in piano roll with the pointer, they are at a lower volume than when in playback? I use Logic X on mac mini with Apogee Duet.

Thanks for your help Erik. I found the answer you posted about 30 minutes after posting my question. To me it doesn't answer my question 100%. The reason is that I can't expect to believe that every time someone records midi they have to go through all these extra steps to merge it (and it is not easy to do because they are hidden behind one another) in fact my problem was so unique that other logic users didn't understand why I am having this trouble. SO that brings me to my conclusion, that I have some setting that is keeping this from being a seamless operation and transforming it into a bunch of hoop jumps. Thoughts? Could it have to do with record settings of "merge"? I saw a few different settings there but none make sense to me.
thanks again.

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.

Logic Pro X. Right-click not working in the piano-roll editor. And colour issues.

I usually use the right mouse-button to open the toolbox under the cursor but this doesn't appear to work within the piano-roll edit window in Pro X. Is this the same for everyone? The right-click works in all other windows. Seems pretty odd.
Also is it just me who finds the near-black background very oppressive? I worked in front of Pro X for several hours yesterday and was left wishing I could change the background colour of the main and edit windows. Is there any way to do this?
I also really need to be able to access custom colours for the colour palette as the new palette doen't sit at all well with me. Any ideas anyone? The manual states that if you double-click on a colour it should open the colour editor but it doesn't.....

It turns out that if you assign the right button to 'Open Tools and Shortcut Menu', it works in the piano roll. It's obviously a bug which should get ironed out.
The other thing that's driving me nuts though is that when I change tools in the main window, the pointer still appears like an arrow, even though its function has changed. When I pass it over a region, it usually changes to to the correct icon - but not always! Aarghhh I'm going back to Pro 9 for now......

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.

Similar to piano roll problem - wrong note played?

Hi
Similar to my earlier problem, which was caused by a transposition setting, I'm also having a similar problem with the musical keyboard, now this is playing notes 18 semi tones above the actual key being pressed!! How do I fix this?
Thanks

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.

Paste notes in Piano Roll changes Region size

Hi,
When I copy/paste a note in the piano roll, using cmd+C, cmd+V, it also changes the Region size. Which is not convenient at all.
When I do it with alt+mouse, it works perfectly fine. But I work mainly with keyboard commands.
Also, sometimes it even creates a new region on its own.
I am on LogicPro X 10.0.1, OS X 10.8.4, iMac 2.5 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM.
I saw similar questions already, but no answer yet.
Thank you by advance

You shouldn't have an issue...doing what you are doing.. and I cannot recreate it here..
But an alternative would be to simply copy the Region itself in the Arrange window....
Hold Down the Option key and drag region using mouse or trackpad....

Write note with Slide/Hammer on/Pull of in Piano Roll

How can I write the next midi event in Piano Roll or other tools of Logic Pro X?:
        - Slide
        - Hammer on
        - Pull of, etc.
Please, my question is for use just the computer, not external tools (keyboards).
Thanks,
Daniel

One method is to use the event list....

..and create midi notes or CCs in there depending on how your plugin/library works....

Color Code Midi Notes on Piano Roll?

Can you color code midi notes in Logic Pro's piano roll/key editor? (I.e., can you make all C's red, C#'s blue, etc.?)
I'm tempted to jump from Cubase to Logic, but I need this feature.

Why do you ask?
I've learned to 'read' my color coding in Cubase -- just like I read ordinary notation (red, yellow, green = C Major, for example). This way I don't need to open a score editor or Sibelius when I work.
Anyway, can't be done in Logic as far as I can see; too bad.

Confirmed.
I'm not sure that this has ever worked in the Piano Roll.

In Piano Roll, double click on note opens List editor. CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

While editing in the Piano Roll Editor, double clicking on a note opens up the List Editor.
CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

I realize that it is my way of working that causes the editor to open up. When I work fast and with the zoom out a little to far, some times when trying to move a note it fails to move and when I try to move it again the List Editor opens up. I am very set in my ways after 20 years of non linear and 30 years of midi programming. I was just surprised that this is not a preference.
I really don't want to slow down my double click settings. I like them fast to avoid this very thing, false double clicking. Maybe I'll try making them faster.
Does anyone know where the support Feedback is located? I would love to request another pref be added.

Piano roll not playing correct note?

Hello,
I am just migrating to Pro X from Reason, and for some reason, when I am playing around in the piano roll, when I click a key, it plays the correct note, however, when I draw a note, it plays a note exactly nine semitones lower than the one that is being played. I.e. if I draw a note in for C2, it would play D1 sharp / E1 flat. What the **** is happening? Is this a bug or a configuration error?
Thanks

Check for Transposition settings in the Region Inspector.

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?

Tried that. No joy...
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?
