Roland TD3 Midi Recording Help

I have a Roland TD3 Electric drum set, a Midisport UNO midi to usb interface and Garageband 08.
I Set my drum kit to local controle off. I pluged in the midi cable in the proper inputs, installed all the nessisary drivers. I set up my drum kit as a software instrument. Every time i strike a drum it has a blue dot go off in the time measure box(it's blue). No sound comes out. When i go to record though no midi is recorded. Also when i unplug the cable it tells me the number of midi imputs has changed. Please help me I called Apple for 2 hours we tried to do it still no figured it out.

I'm having the same exact problems with this cable and the Roland TD-6V. It has been driving me crazy. I'm ready to scrap the Midisport uno and go a different route. Does anyone know of an interface that will definitely take midi from a Roland?

Logic doesn's recognize my Roland TD3 MIDI connection.. HELP!

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me with this. I am trying to use my Roland TD3 through a MIDI cable (TD3 MIDI OUT TO MBOX 2 MIDI IN) with Logic 9, but it doesn't seem to recognize the TD3 as I rescan for midi. I know MIDI is working just fine because I have an M-Audio keyboard controller hooked up via USB, and that works just fine triggering all the MIDI sounds.
My question is, how do I get Logic 9 to recognize the Roland TD3? is there a manual way to do this other than the obvious "add a midi device" under Applications/Utilities/MIDI setup.. which I've tried but still not reading it, or maybe I am not doing it right.
I would appreciate any help on this.

Multi channel midi recording in express

hello,
i do not know how to set up my stuff for multi channel (track) midi recording in express.
gear: motu micro lite midi interface, powerbook g4, yamaha elctronic drums dtxpress 2, edirol midi controller.
when i get this worked out i will have 3 other keyboards hooked up midi.
when i try now, my drums are bass or my edirol is drums
basic idea:
someone playing a bass line on the edirol while someone else is playing the midi yamaha drum kit.
also i would like to know if it is possible to keep my edirol connected usb running audio instruments or if i have to connect it midi to my micro lite.
i was told that it has something to do with setting up the environment.
i am midi ******** so please, if you can help, be simple.
thanks much anyone.

I'm not 100% sure about that but I think Logic Express don't allow simultaneous recording of more than one midi track. I think this is a Pro-only feature.

Suddenly no Sound - Audio Midi Setup helps only for a while ...

Hi there,
using my iMac (early 2008) it sometimes happens (since the update to 10.6.8 ?), that I suddenly do not have any sound at all (volume is up, no mute active). After a while I discovered the hint also placed in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15943204#15943204 as a solution once, but it annoys me to have do that every other day or so.
Fast User switching is active and usualy two users logged in, sometimes more (children).
I have not discovered any pattern, that could lead to this phenomenom. Any help appreciated.
Have a great year!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

Updated Console (for x-fi) - no midi record

+Updated Console (for x-fi) - no midi record, Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but I can't find it ...
I have just clean installed Windows 7, and re-installed the x-fi fatalty champion, and Sonar 4 (I know, I should upgrade this too). I installed the new Creative Win7 drivers and apps for Console Launcher, Audio Control Panel and Soundfont Conntrol Panel.
I now find there's no option on the Console to record from the midi synth. Checking in the Taskbar for Recording Devices, there's no midi there either.
However ... midi still plays ok in Sonar, I just can't record from a midi track on to a new audio track. Neither can I get the midi to register in "What-U-Hear".
Has anyone any ideas about resolving this please?
Thanks
Jerry

It's very odd that the latest version of the Console does not have an option to record from the MIDI Synth. Is this a recent change? "
Well you said it all, it is a recent change of sorts. The article I sent you to explains that everything done audio-wise is done differently. EVERYTHING. So if you get it to work with this version (four versions ago) you are 00% lucky. The midi recording will not be the same. That is what I was trying to let you know. I would not want you to keep ripping your hair out, when the Windows Driver Model is so drastically different.

BPM from (externally recorded) Midi recorded drums at incorrect tempo when importing into Logic?

Hey there
Yesterday I recorded midi drums to a click track for a song into my iPhone using an IK Multimedia iRig Midi.
I had the click track playing from my iPod (that I had recorded as an mp3 at 148pm) and I recorded the drum beat for the whole song at 148bpm into my iPhone using the iRig Midi Recorder app.
I exported the file from my iPhone to my Mac.
Just to note:
When I play the file through QuickTime it plays fine at 148bpm OK.
If I import the midi file into iTunes, iTunes plays it at 148bpm, and even if I convert it to an mp3 using iTunes, iTunes STILL plays it at 148bpm.
So, if I right mouse click the .midi file>open with Logic
It opens in Logic (With the project set to 120bpm) and the midi track plays at 148bpm, with the metronome playing at 120bpm.
If I then change the BPM of the project to 148bpm, it then changes the BPM of the midi drum file to 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So, I've tried it another way
Create a new Logic project, set the BPM to 148bpm, then IMPORT the .midi file.
But the midi track plays at 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So there still the same problem.
I NEED this to line up perfectly with the click track at 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions on whats going on here, because something isn't right.
Thanks

Just to note
Ive tested the bpm of the song using a little program called VOX (from the exported iTunes mp3 file) and Vox states its 91.51bpm (Making it 183.02 bpm in my mind)
(I initially tested the bpm manually using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm, so I'm not bad only being 0.02 bpm out)
I've had just tried the following but its still not right.
I imported the midi track into Garageband and set the project initially (Before importing) to 183bpm and assumed I could just then change the projects bpm to 148bpm.
This doesnt work either.
Upon import of the midi file to GB with the project set at 183bpm, it then plays the midi drum file at approx 227bpm. So its actually sped it up. (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 148bpm, it then plays it at 182bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 120bpm, it then plays it at 148bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm ). Ah-ha! You might think, so thats fine. Well, yes it plays the drum beat at approx 148bpm, BUT the system still thinks its 120BPM, so it wont line up to the click track at all.
I NEED this to line up perfectyly with the click track of 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey preachit,
It sounds like we are running into issues with the iTunes software connecting to your device. If possible, lets try plugging your iPhone 5 in with a different cable. Also, try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer:

We may need to isolate the issue down to the iPhone or the current installation of iTunes. If the above steps have not resolved your issue, remove and reinstall iTunes:

I have recorded my daughter voice only ok, BUT when i import audio file to track 1 as backing track and my daughter is using headphones from the helixboard to sing to she does not record to track 2 when all in enabled.
Should her headphone come from the imac and not the helix board

Check the recording channel in the channel strip.
It must be set the same as the audio interface channel.

Need help with MIDI recording...

Hi Fellow Logic Express Users,
I recently purchased an iMac Intel Core Duo with the Logic Express software program. I have been doing a lot of studying and have created over 25 tunes since I purchased it back in Febuary of 2006.
If there is anyone out there that knows how to perform a mass MIDI dump all at once from my Roland JW-50 Workstation onto the Logic Express through the M-Audio Uno MIDI port I would appreciate your help.
Through the years I have written a lot of music of which I have on floppy disks that load easily enough one track at a time, but I would like to see if it is possible to load all of the tracks at one time onto the Logic Express.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who knows how to do this. Thanks!

select an instrument track in the arrange window and open the library. Select a sound and you should be good. Then sit down with the manual and have a good read.....

Roland TD-8 drums: how to midi record?

I am trying to record via midi my Roland kit, using the sounds IN the module, not the ones in GB. I have a MIDIDsport 2x2 USB interface and am using 2 MIDI cables plus the USB cable into the Mac. I can easily get the MIDI notes recorded but can I ever get GB to trigger the Roland module?
Thank you in advance!

Not physically possible with ANY computer or ANY software:

You would need to connect a Line-Out of the drum machine to a lIne-In on the computer, or Audio Interface ( http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#interfaces )

Roland Edirol, NEED TRACKING HELP!!!!! Weird Problem!

I need the help of one of you experts...
New to Logic but have used GarageBand for years. I am using a Roland Edirol UA-25EX interface. I am attempting to track a bass part in a project but have encountered a weird problem.
When I play the bass with the rest of the project (MIDI Drums and Piano) the input signal is at a constant state of peaking no matter how hard I play. I assumed that I was just sending to much signal into the computer from the interface so I soloed my bass track and all of a sudden it sounded fine (levels were good - no peaking). Then I un-soloed the track again and the crazy peaking was back.
After playing around with Logic and the Edirol for a few hours I couldn't trouble shoot the problem. I decided to hit record and see if Logic was recording the peaked out sound I heard (UNSOLOED) or the normal non-peaked bass tone I heard when it was soloed out. Sure enough when I listened back to the recording everything sounded fine!!
Thats good I guess... but I cannot track the bass part with the peaked out sound and when I turn it down to try and get rid of the clipping, I can't hear the bass enough.
Can someone help me with this please?!?!? Point me in a direction at least to try anything.....

I have an Edirol UA-25 that has drivers that stop working anytime there is an upgrade or sleep. You should write to Roland and complain, they were friendly and sent a zip of 10 copies of the driver and it's un-installer, so if,like today i let my iMac fall sleep the driver no longer works and I must unplug the USB Edirol,un-install the broken driver and install a new one before the Edirol will work again-I am on 10.5.8, hopefully the Snow Leopard drivers will be better. your "ex" model differs only in it's having a ground loop isolator, which I had to buy separately and it works fine but still not fair of Roland to sell such crap.

Omit notes during MIDI recording that are not in defined scale

I'm looking for a way to do the following in Logic, but am not sure how to set this up. I want to be able to:
1. Create a new midi track
2. In selected midi track, select a scale (for example, Pentatonic Minor)
3. Press record
4. During recording, only notes played from Pentatonic Minor scale would "register" (make a sound) and be recorded. All other notes pressed on midi controller that are not in Pentatonic Minor would not "register" nor be recorded in the sequencer.
Additionally helpful would be that in the piano roll sequencer after recording, I could only drag notes up or down along the Pentatonic Minor scale. In other words, I would not be allowed to drag a recorded note to another note that is not in Pentatonic Minor. If a note was dragged onto a "disabled" note, it would automatically snap to its nearest neighbor note in the Pentatonic Minor scale. Additionally useful would be to have all disabled notes (notes that are not in the Pentatonic Minor scale) appear to be disabled (grayed out) in the piano roll sequencer.
If this is not possible, is there any feature in Logic that will get me close to doing what I want? If not, is there any other sequencer that does this? I know this is something I could probably do in Max, but I was hoping to be able to do it in Logic. Thanks.

Brand new i7 causing peaking sound while midi recording or playing

it was not a issue when i was with core 2 macbook, I recived the new one yesterday, when i play and record midi on GB or logic pro it cause like peak cpu sound and it is only one ( first ) channel without vst , ( with no external souncard) can someone please help me , this machine must be 10 times stronger than this...

But when looking closer at the data from the record_track the problem becomes obvious: The tick information in the Messages from the record_track are always relative to a tempo of 120bpm no matter what tempo has been set with setTempoInBPM() before the start of recording.
setTempoInBPM is only half of the equation as far as playback speed goes. setTempoFactor scales the playback speed also, as a percentage of the BPM tempo.

Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI - Please Help!

Hey everyone, I know this is a fairly common problem, and I've tried following the Logic Help and manual, but it hasn't solved it.
Last night, I was recording and mixing with my MOTU 828mkII into my Powerbook G4 running Logic Pro 6.4, and everything was working perfectly. Today, when I opened up Logic again to work on mixing the song I recorded last night, after not having changed a single preference anywhere, something bizarre happened. When I clicked the play button, the song began playing, but no sound came out, except for a high-pitched digital howling sound, and after about 5 seconds, an error message came up saying, "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI." I tried other song files I'd recorded months ago, and even with brand new song files, and the same exact problem occurred!
Apparently, it's a discrepancy in the sample rates between my MOTU and Logic? But both have been set to 44.1 for months, and I haven't changed anything. The Logic Help said to change the Sync Mode to MTC Continuous (which I believe it was already set to) or MTC Trigger/ASD (which didn't help).
I even tried re-installing Logic altogether, and changing the sample rates both on my MOTU and Logic to 48 and then back to 44.1, and nothing works.
Please help me! What should I do?
Thanks very much,
TB

I suffered from this problem, and it was particularly frustrating to me since I was not even using MIDI, or so I thought. The "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI" message seemed to crop up just as I was ready to print a final mix.
I did some research and learned that the Logic automation is actually MIDI data, furthermore, I learned that The sample accurate automation feature in Logic Audio results in randomly sized audio buffers being passed to plug-ins.
My solution?
Turn OFF "sample accurate automation" in the menu Logic Pro / Preferences / Audio...
The automation is very accurate even with this option disabled.

Is the X-FI series good for Midi recordi

Before I spend a lot of money I would ask the forum what for a card is good for Midi recordings and has good piano samples. Additional I have a new motherboard (Asus M2NPV-VM)?with two PCI Slots only. Therefore I have no chances to change the slots due to IRQ problems. Therefore the card should be full PnP and WIN XP compatible. The old one shared the IRQ with the USB controllers or the on board grafic card (Can you recommend a X-FI card?Thanks.

All I can find is "Bit Matched Recording"
Basically I do not want the X-fi to touch any of my audio (and no I am not using a receiver).
I have the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.
For example, if I am listening to a source playing at 4400kHz, 6bit, then I want to hear exactly that.
Think of it another way. If a video source image is 800x600 and I have a 920x200 monitor, I do not want to scale the image to fit 920x200. I want the image to appear at the center of the screen with black bars on top, bottom, left & right sides. A : pixel for pixel image. I would also be using DVI-D so there is no Digital to Analog conversion. Make sense now? I am viewing the source as intended.
Now help me with : audio. I do not believe this is possible with Creative's current cards from all the articles and tech info I have read.
