ROUTING - MIDI click

Hi Forum
I want to rout a MIDIclick to headphones.
In my setup ( MOTU 896HD ) it plays back on channel 13-14.
I have now the soundfile in the speakers (output 1-2 ) and the click in my headphones - but- alas -
also the soundfile!!!????
Is this a MOTU software issue or do I need to make additional changes in LOGIC ?

BuckB,
THus far, i cant make sense of that midi click track thats there by default. Would be really nice if you could just place any MIDI data in there and itd just give a 1 2 3 4 reguardless of data
BUT
A workaround that was given to me by the kind people at harmony central
Use an Audio Instrument Track, and set the instrument to Klopfgiest..just make sure your MIDI data is on every whole note of whatever you like. At first it just makes tone noises, but if you tweak alittle, you can make that sharp metronome sound.
Not my idea of easiest, but im writting my backing tracks in guitar pro, so it takes 2 seconds to create a new track, put 4 counts, then duplicate til end of song, and just have logic click to that. I tried the copy/paste and id ALWAYS get some offtime beats
hope that helps

  • MIDI CLICK TRACK?

    hey guys
    I notice the MIDI CLICK at the bottom of my track list, how can i activate it?
    Pretty much, i want an audible MIDI/Metronome click for this project. Im trying to make a backing track. Left channel will be a click with the backing tracks, right will be simply the backing tracks
    Anyone? I can get MIDI data in, but all it does is give me piano sounds
    thanks in advance!

  • Delay when recording audio compared to my midi click

    Im using my Powerbook G4 1.5G and a Presonus Firebox to record audio with a midi click. I´m using the firebox mixer for monitoring and have switched off logic software monitoring. I have no latency when listening while recording, but when listening to the recorded file, it´s delayed compared to the pre-recorded click loop.
    This is what I don´t understand. Why is the recorded file delayed? I have the delaycompensation off. It does not matter if I record on the internal disk or a Lacie external firewire disk.
    I have a G4powermac and a motu 2408 mk3 with no problems like this what so ever.
    Should i do a midi signal output correction? Is this really necessary on a setup today? Why do I not have the same problem on my G4 Powermac?
    I hope somebody have an idea.

    there is always some latency when the signal goes thru the computer.
    you can do a test and determine how much delay you are seeing and then
    go to:
    audio/audio hardware & drivers/drivers
    and in the recording delay box put in the amount to be compensated for.
    With my setup i fugured out that I had 57 ms of delay.

  • Midi Click in the mixer?

    Hi there -
    Does anyone know how to get the Midi Click (with Klopfgeist) into the mixer? I know it's supposed to be in channel 128, but I have no clue how to get channel 128 to show up in the mixer. When I open the "Enviroment" and select "Mixer" in the top left, it shows up, but I want to get it into the normal Mixer window. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nate

    Hi Nate,
    Yes, you have to press the 'All' button on the top edge of mixer window. A channel strip named 'click', carrying the Klopfgeist instrument, will (also) appear. By ctrl-clicking and selecting from the menu that appears you can even give it it's own Arrange track.
    regards, Erik.

  • Harmonize lead vocal Routing Midi with Antares Harmony Engine Evo

    After a long day researching and NOT getting the job done... I need correct midi routing instructions to get Antares Harmony Engine Evo to play 2 different midi harmony tracks: i.e., one on track 7 and one on track 8 wince I couldn't get any of the 'great' harmony presets to work at all. I need explicit instructions on what to click on and where it is without leaving out assumed steps. Thanks!

    Adding this: PLEASE and THANK YOU... anybody who knows anything. I've read manuals, searched the net, etc., instructions are not clear or non-existent with many posts saying 'I can't get this function to work!' to no avail so far. I've round no video tutorials. One post suggested 'side chain' as in the Antares Pitch Correct but there is NO side chain menu on my Harmony Engine, and FYI, it disappeared on my APC, from time to time. What's going on here? I'd like to have these harmonies on for Christmas gift. I tried transposing the lead vocal track and ! 'no transpose function' would show up in the usual place. Now I'm trying the midi routing since the harmony engine's default patches didn't work. I've set every knob and button including voice register, i.e. 'soprano' in this case, etc. following the small manual. There's got to be a way as this program has won many awards, so someone is getting it to work. Please RSVP... Thank you and happy holidays!

  • Routing midi into the bounce

    For the first time in Logic I have just used an outboard midi intrument on a song. How do you route it into the bounce? The only option afforded to to a group, but I can't get any sound feeding through to the bounced mix.
    cheers

    Page 297 of the manual:
    Input Object
    The Input Object allows you to directly route and control signals from your audio hardware’s input. Once an Audio Input Object is assigned to an audio channel, it can be monitored and recorded directly into Logic, along with its effect plug-ins. The signal is processed—inclusive of plug-ins—even while Logic is stopped. In other words: Input Objects behave just like external hardware processors. Bus sends can be used pre or post-fader.
    The Audio Input Objects can effectively replace your old mixing desk, or at least save time while bouncing:
    Audio Input Objects make the bouncing procedure much easier, as there’s no longer any need to record the audio signal of your MIDI devices before bouncing (mixing down) their output with the audio recordings. The live Audio Input Objects allow you to mix down the audio signal from your external hardware MIDI synthesizers and sound modules into a stereo mix (by bouncing an Output Object).
    The Input Object features the following elements: Inserts, Bus Sends, Output,
    Grouping, Automation, Pan, Level, and Level meter, Mute/Solo, Mono/Stereo.

  • Routing MIDI data out of Ultrabeat

    Hello
    Can anyone please tell me if MIDI data can be routed out of Ultrabeat, so that its sequencer can be used to control cells in Battery 3, for instance. I'm a novice in the Environment and I haven't been able to find anyway of doing this. I know about dragging Ultrabeat patterns onto Arrange tracks to be used by other instruments but its not quite the same, obviously.
    If it can't be done, I wonder if its the sort of feature that Apple might include in a future update. It seems to me that to combine the sequencer functions of Ultrabeat with the advanced sample-editing functions of Battery would address the limitations of each instrument and create an ideal system for step-sequencing drums. I can't be the first person to have thought of this but I haven't been able to find anything out about it so far. I would be grateful for any advice.
    William

    Nope.
    AU plugins, including Logic's own instruments, cannot output any MIDI data at all - the AU spec doesn't currently support this.
    The only thing you can do is export out the patterns into arrange regions, then reassign. But you can't use Ultrabeat's sequencer to trigger another instrument live.

  • Routing MIDI through Reaktor

    Hello All,
    I was wondering if any one could help me with the following problem. I would like to be able to manipulate MIDI data in Reaktor before it enters logic. (Specifically, I use a reaktor patch that tunes incomeing note pitch data, 64 turns into 64.35, for example. The microtonal tunings in Logic are o.k., but I would like to be able to have multiple midi tracks with multiple different tunings, as well as microtonal scales that don't repeat at the octave).
    I guess ideally what I would like is for MIDI data from Logic's sequencer to pass through a Reaktor patch before being sent to the various EXSP24 instruments that I use. Is this at all possible? I have been playing around in the environment window for the last 2 days, and, not being particularly intellegent when it come to computers, have been unable to make any progress.
    Does IAC bus exist anymore? I thought that might lead to a possible solution. I have seen references to it in this forum, but cant find it anywhere in Logic or Reaktor?
    Thanks

    i can hear the keyboard in my phones now but im having trouble raising the level of the signal. Im not sure where the midi signal is adjusted from on the front panel of motu or  in cuemix.
    i swear im reading the manual i guess i need a better basic understanding of engineering. anywhere on the net i could find some free instruction or reading? i feel like im asking some stupid questions:)
    thanks all
    The MIDI signal isn't adjusted... it's not a signal. MIDI is only small amounts of data, like what note your played, how long it's held down...etc. It has nothing to do with a common audio signal.
    The signal strength is your keyboard's volume control and a control somewhere on the MOTU unit or in the software panel the MOTU installs, have you opened that up yet? It's probably in the Applications folder.
    The first page of this article gives an adequate description of what's going over your MIDI cable.
    http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/midi1.htm
    You've done recording with tape, some of the conventions hold over but a lot of them don't so you need to let go of preconceptions.
    Logic has built in instruments that you can trigger with your keyboard, that's another option.
    Some starting out think that they can get the sounds from their keyboard into Logic... that's not what happens.. with an external keyboard two things are happening.
    1. It's recording MIDI data, which in turn plays the keyboard.. the sound will always come out of the Keyboard's audio outputs. You can record a MIDI performance... and then edit it to perfection then record the keyboard's audio output into Logic as an audio file.
    2. The keyboard acts as a controller to play Logic's internal instruments.

  • Routing midi from an ableton arpeggiator into logic express

    anyone know if possible to recieve the midi from ableton 6 running as rewire slave into logic instrument ? ie use the live arpeggiator rather than logic one ?

    I don't think you can do that with Rewire but you certainly can do it with IAC driver in the AudioMidiSetup. However, to do that, you can't run Live as a Rewire slave. Therefore, you'll have to start Live before Logic.
    To be able to use the IAC driver, go to the Audio Midi Setup and Get Info for the IAC driver. Select the ports tab and add a port. This port should now be available both in the Live output and the Logic input.

  • Route midi instrument to a track insert

    Hey guys,
    I just purchased native instruments the finger and it sounds really fun.
    I have a synth instrument and i put the finger as an insert on that track.
    I then create a midi track but I dont see how its possible in the known universe of the logic interface to link that midi instrument to a track insert...
    The thing about the finger is that its ran by keys and knobs so simply automating params will not work.
    Any help would be good.
    Thanks

    I figured out ONE way to do it... dont know if it is the best.
    Send the synth track to bus1 @ full send volume.
    Set to no output
    Add a software instrument track with reaktor as the input
    Sidechain bus1

  • How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

    Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
    My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
    thanx in advance for your response!

    Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
    Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
    The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
    Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
    In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
    Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
    You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.

  • 8120 and 8320 not staying connected to the router

    I have an 8120 pearl and have had no problems with it staying connected to the router till about 2 weeks ago. Now it bounces back and forth from router to the tower and if my husband is home it our phones seem to block each other.  He has a blackberry curve 8320.  Only once has both phones gotten on the router and stayed there.  Now we've already deleted all wifi connections and started over. Our wifi connection is secure/password protected. We've unplugged the modem and router and allowed them to reset.  We've taken the batteries out of our phones.  We've turned off the mobile network so the phone has no choice but to connect to the router and it won't most of the time.  Last night while talking to my husband on the 8120 it dropped the router mid-call.  We've talked to tech support at tmobile, hotspot@home and blackberry.  So now I'm asking here for help.
    Has anyone had these issues and how can they be resolved? The router has no problems staying connected to the Wii and the two laptop computers. It's only the phones and only in the last couple of weeks. We have a Lynksis 2.4 ghz router.  The only difference between it and the router tmobile sells is the tmobile sticker.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Maybe you could use this as a checklist for your WiFi
    problems.

  • I want to trigger samples or tracks in GB 08 with a midi foot controller

    I am trying to utilize my macbook with GB08 to keep my investment low for mow. I am thinking of purchasing a midi foot controller like the Roland FC300 or the Behringer FCB1010 to trigger playing of tracks during a live performance. These sounds that I want to trigger are mostly keyboard/synth/horn parts.
    How can I do this? I know I will need to also purchase a midi to usb interface. Is this possible?
    Our guitar player has cubase that we could load onto the macbook. Will this work better?
    Please help me out here. Looking to fill out our sound - Classic rock cover band - bass,guitar, drums, & a singer. We have given up on finding a decent & reliable key player.
    Thanks!

    Hello.
    I don't have Amplitude. But with NI GuitarRig I do like this:
    1. Select an AUDIO track. Set the input of the track to match the incoming (clean) signal from your guitar.
    Set an appropriate recording level on your audio interface (Like -10 to -6 db on the peaks).
    Turn down the volume on the AUDIO track.
    2. Select an AUDIO INSTRUMENT track. In the instrument pop-up-menu select "AU Midi controlled FX", and then select Guitar RIg2 MFX (Hopefully you will find Amplitude here).
    3. Read the manual and learn how to route midi from your "Ground Control MIDI foot controller" to the Amplitude Plug-in.
    4. Near the top on your Plug-in window you will find the Side Chain Button. Press, Hold and select the input of incoming signal from your guitar. (The same input as in step 1).
    You should now hear you guitar playing thru your plug-in and you should be able to midi-control whatever you want.
    To make a recording:
    5. Let the AUDIO INSTRUMENT track remain selected. SHIFT-Click the rec-button on the AUDIO track (I have to click twice to get both the channel and the button selected).
    6. Record (and don't forget to use your midi controler).
    7. You will now have an audio recording with your clean guitar signal on the AUDIO track + a recording with the mididata on the AUDIO INSTRUMENT track.
    To hear the recording:
    8. Go to your Plug-in window Side Chain Button. Change the input to match the track where you just recorded the clean guitar signal.
    9. Listen and Enjoy
    10. Please tell me there is an easier way to do this.
    Good Luck,

  • Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

    Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.  I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec  MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router.  With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices.  With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices.  Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
    Only the router was changed.  No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01.  Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7.  There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port.  It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices.  This works fine.  Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.  All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point.  Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed  ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router).  All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
    All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
    Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components.  I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices.  There is no setting that isolates the wireless network.  I have done the following:
    Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
    Rebooted the router and tested.
    Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
    Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
    Restarted iTunes and tested.
    Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
    Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
    I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion.  I'm stumped!  I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

    Solution from ActionTec is:
    Log into your router.
    Click the Advanced icon
    Cclick Yes
    Click on the IGMP Proxy
    Select Disable
    Click Apply

  • Using multiple MIDI-in sources - can you now select the incoming MIDI port?

    Exciting to see that Logic Pro X has launched at last!
    I'm hoping someone who has already had a chance to download it can report back on a specific feature.
    In previous versions of Logic, the only way to record multiple MIDI sources (for example a V-Drums kit and a keyboard) at the same time has been to make sure they are on different MIDI channels, and then choose the "auto demix MIDI channels" option in preferences.
    In this way, the MIDI data is separated by channel and recorded to separate tracks.
    However, it only separates the channels when two or more tracks are armed for recording, and does not offer any option for selecting the specific MIDI port for incoming MIDI signals.
    DAWs such as Cubase and ProTools have always had a drop-down menu for MIDI channels, where the MIDI port can be chosen. This way, you can easily separate your MIDI controllers for either jamming or recording, and they will only play virtual instruments on tracks which are selected to their specific channel. This applies for recording as well as just jamming or trying parts prior to recording.
    I have several hardware synths in my studio and often record MIDI jams with multiple players, and on that basis moved back to Cubase last year. I have been hoping Logic would update this feature for a long, long time!
    Can anyone who is using Logic Pro X already confirm whether MIDI tracks now have a port select option, or whether the old channel-based system and the clumsy "auto demix MIDI channels" method remains...?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Guys, this is really quite simple to accomplish in the midi environment, susprised you've been hunting for so long for the answers, here's a quick step by step:
    1. Go into Midi Environment
    2. Change the view in the Environment window to show Click & Ports
    3. To make things easier, click the 'Input Notes' label, and delete the object.  And also click the 'Input View' label, and delete that also, so you're left with a blank canvas.  (These are handy tools when testing, just deleting them to make things clearer).
    You should now be left with just the Sequencer Input  (And midi click, but ignore that) - Basically anything that connects into this input goes through as an input into logic... So, all we have to do now is to split each device into seperate channels.  This is simply done through the 'transform' objects.
    4. Add 2x Transformer objects via the 'new' menu (Or however many external inputs you need).
    5. Drag the connection from each device listed on the left, to it's own transformer as shown:
    6. Then plug each transformer into the Sequencer input
    7. Double click each Transformer object and simply FIX the midi channel to be whatever you desire, in this example i've picked channel 2 and channel 3
    8. Now, just make sure the 'Auto demix by channel if multitrack record' option is selected in project settings, and you're good to go!
    Now just simply select the channel number that corresponds to the devices you transformed, and when more than one track is armed for recording it will be split to how you would like.  *Please take note, that the demix only kicks in when multitracking, i.e. more than one track is armed*
    Now, this seems really long winded on a forum with screenshots etc. - But it's truly not, takes about 30 seconds, and once you've done it a few times makes sense.  Plus going through an environment like this opens up possibilites such as splitting one midi keyboard into different zones which can transmit to different channels, so you can have bass on your left hand, and lead on the right for example.  But the midi data will split to each track when recording.
    Reply back if you get stuck, more than happy to help!
