Smart Controls Misbehaving When Playing MIDI

I'm using a smart control to manipulate 4 Macros in 4 separate instances of Native Instruments Massive. Combined the macros are controlling the pitch of 12 oscillators and 4 modulation oscillators.
When I play a note physically on my MIDI keyboard and play with the smart control everything is good, however if I insert a single MIDI note on my summed track stack or 4 separate MIDI notes on the tracks themselves, the smart control gives me wild phasing as if it can't quite cope with moving all the macros at the same time.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing and if so please tell me there's a way around it!
Danny

Update: automation works just fine, it's only when I 'physically' move the smart control.

  • Can't hear live track when playing midi drum track

    This is a really dumb question. I've been away from Logic too long. I'm trying to monitor a live guitar track while I play a recorded midi drum beat. I can hear the midi track fine. And I can hear the live guitar track when the midi track is not playing. But as soon as I start playback, the live track goes silent even though the red record enable button is on and the levels show live guitar signal. It just doesn't make it to the output. If I actually record a region, I can hear it. But I don't want to record, I just want to practice with effects and a drum track.
    I've done this before. What have I forgotten?

    Hi,
    hold down the "CTRL + click" ot rigth button of the mouse in the REC icon on the transport...

  • Terrible quality when playing MIDI files on Mac. How to solve it?

    In the darkest corners of my hard drive, amidst the dark and malicious Mac OS X conspiracy...Um, well, not exactly. In my Documents folder, I found a MIDI sound named "PINBALL.mid". Fine. I played it on Quicktime 7, when terrible quality surrounded my ears. What an horror! Does anyone knows what app should I use? Or what I should do?
    P.S.1: VLC player does not want to play the MIDI sound.

    Rereading your first post you based the midi quality on playing something called PINBALL.mid.  I'm guessing it's for a game.  So why would you expect the quality of that one "song" to be very high in the first place?
    FWIW, IMO, the built in midi quality has never been that good on apple machines.  When I went through my "midi phase" many years ago, when Blue&White G3's were the current desktops, I actually used a high quality external midi player (Yamaha, but I don't recall the model at the moment) that played through the serial port.  It was, IMO, high quality.  For $400 it had better be!

  • TextInput control misbehaves when using the East-Asian fonts

    I am a little curious about this issue and I would like to get some help from our community. The issue is about fonts when using East Asian languages.I have all East-Asian language installed on my computer (WIN SERV 2003)and I let my flex application to use the local system font(font is not embedded) to get the Japanese character. When I start typing the characters into the Flex textinput control everything works properly as expected until I reach the boundary of the textinput control, the characters gets displayed outside the textinput and I would need to press the enter key to get the fonts inside the textinput . Have anyone experienced such problems when using fonts for Japanese, Chinese etc? Refer the image for more clarity.Please help

    This is the expected behavior for Japanese in my experience. The reason, I think, is that for Japanese characters the text input process has two steps. First the basic phonetic characters are entered and then these are selectively changed into kanji characters which can shorten the final input text. So it makes sense to calculate the textbox height after the text has been finally input, not while it is still being input. The enter key is the event that signals the text should be submitted. I don't know about Chinese, but for Japanese, this is the standard way of handling text input in my experience.

  • Module import error in pygame when playing midi

  • I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
    It could be a problem the video rendering itself.  Which software did you use?
    Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
    Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

  • When playing a home video DVD using DVD Player I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    When playing a home video DVD (created on my Panasonic DVD/Hard Disc recorder)  using the Mac DVD Player, I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. I assume that any file created by this action would be stored somewhere in a common format but cannot find any such file. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Hi Sinious,
    Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
    Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
    Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
    However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
    If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd).

  • LPX - Can 'Smart Controls' send midi CC messages?

    Smart Controls seem to be able to control everything in LPX, including key commands, but I can't seem to figure out how to assign a basic midi CC (like expression or modulation) to a Smart Control parameter. ultimately I'm trying to control and automate my performance of 'expression' via a midi controller, rather than drawing it in ...
    Any suggestions?

    This is exactly my problem.
    I also don't see a way to assign CCs to Smart Controls.
    Why i need to do this:
    I am using East West Symphonic Orchestra and want to control different parameters via Logic Remote (e.g. Expression on #CC 11).
    The dropdown list in Parameter Mapping only shows a few parameters of the plugin and not those that i really need.
    How can i access all generic MIDI CCs?

  • Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band.  Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls.  Help?

    Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band.  Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls for that track (reverb, etc.)  Help?

    Try this fix posted by Robinson Collins:
    Re: I downloaded Garage Band 2x and the same note appears: there is no General Audio 10. Please advise. Thank you.
    Try this: Go to your menu bar, select "Garageband" and then "Restore Sound Library..."
    It can take awhile to download as it's a pretty big library. You might need to also select "Update Sound Library..." after the restore is done.

  • My iphone 4S doesn't show the volume controls when playing videos and the speakers don't sound. But if I plug in the earphones then I can hear fine and the volume controls appear on screen. Please someone help.

    After a week or so of installing IOS 7 now I having this problem, the speakers don't work for videos, music or apps sounds, but they work fine for using the speaker phone. It's definitely some software issue as the volume control appears when i plug in the earphones, but disappears when unplugging them, same happens with the volume buttons on the side, they don't work when trying to use the speakers, but the work when using the earphones. Please help if you have a workaround for this. I don't want to carry my earphones all the time to listen to videos and music.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Is there a way to create customer smart controls?

    I use Mainstage to play worship music in a few different church venues and love the flexibility that Mainstage brings. I'm using an external instrument, Omnisphere on my Akai MPK88. I have each channel mapped to sliders on my keyboard, which is great for Omnisphere, however, if I want to switch insturments, for example to the Hammond B3, I would like be able to use the new smart controls feature and be able to see the controls for this instrument. Is there a way to keep my sliders on screen for Omnisphere, but have them change when I am using a native patch? Right now, the controls just get greyed out and go dead. Thanks!

    You can pick any Smartcontrol for any patch, but you can not create your own Smartcontrol from scratch.

  • "zipper" noise when using MIDI controller

    When using MIDI faders to control guitar amp settings (gain, EQ, etc) I hear a very loud "zipper" noise when I make changes. This makes it very unlikely I can use it live. Has anyone else experienced this?

    By "flakey as heck," I mean that the stop button stops play, and brings it back to the beginning of the song, even if I only hit it once. In other words, I can't just stop playback where the song is at the moment I hit stop. When I hit fast forward or rewind, it doesn't always respond, and when it does, it often skips randomly, sometimes going one step in the grid, sometimes more than one, sometimes not at all. I think what is happening is that the transport controls are trying to control Logic but using messages designed for Reason. I say this only because, when I am using Logic, but not Reason in ReWire, the transport controls work exactly as they should.

  • Problem with MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) when playing 3D games

    Games problem
    I have bought a new MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) a couple of months ago and have been have loads of trouble when playing games.
    In windows, the graphics card works fine. The computer never crashes and everything is speedy. Movies on DVD, Xvid, Divx all play fine without problem, the most I get is the occasional freezing and then windows will be normal again.
    The problem arises when I try to play a 3D game. When I load up the game it goes into the menu screens ok, the computer will load up the 3D engine and it will play for around a minute nice and crisp then the screen will go blank and computer will lock up. Then all the drives will go quiet and the computer will make 3 beeps with the PC speaker. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL at this point does nothing, nor does the reset button. I have to turn the power on and off.
    I really have no clue why this is happening, I have taken the covers off and kept it in a cool area, hoping that it was something to do with over heating, my computer is not overly cluttered and this has made no difference.
    I have also unplugged the CDR, DVDR, USB ports, one Hard drive (storage) to see if it was something to do with the power no getting to the Videocard and then tried to play a game and the same problem arose.
    I have two games that I have tried, Tiger woods 2005 and doom III, both of which crash in the same manner.
    I have tried to be as detailed as I can with the descritopn of my computer below and the power details I'm not sure about so I posted a picture of the power unit to help.
    Many thanks for your help in this matter, I'm desperately trying to get some worth out of this card and feel frustrated that its going bonkers only when trying to play games :/
    Please tell me if you require further information about the system.

    Firstly, thank you for all your prompt responses, I really appreciate it. From the sounds of it, the PSU is ****
    antec
    From what I have read, the Antec PSUs have good reliability and ratings. I looked around and saw this one: Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU for around £65. I also went read that article posted by Dr Stu, which then stumbled on more articles about PSUs.
    I have a couple more questions….
    The rating of my system (http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php) with all the components running came out to be 422W.  So do you think that the Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU would be sufficient for the computer considering I might add more RAM in the future?
    Or should I buy the 500W+ one then?
    Does anyone know if the Antec PSUs are quiet? My current q-Tec one makes me feel I'm in an aeroplane.
    lucky I read the forum!
    I was in Maplins (computer shop) at lunch and thought, that shiny 650W Q-Tec looks nice and there looks like loads of power, that much do the trick. i got to the counter and thought.....let me wait, till i get home from work and read some more on the forum about this PSU issue.
    Thanks god I didn’t buy that S***. having read some of the reviews, i would have wasted loooots of money for nothing.

  • Choosing gpu when playing games

    Hi,
    I own a hp g6-2305sl running win 8.1, it's not a bad laptop, the only thing I can't control is the gpu when playing games.
    I have AMD catalyst 14.9 and HD Intel driver 153330, but when I go to device manager there is only AMD HD 7600M series and not AMD HD 7670M. And also even if I select maximize performance and set the high performance gpu for games, game is slow has hell, like using the Intel gpu.
