Software instruments wont play in arrange window

Hi,
I have recently purchased Logic Pro 9 from app store but when I select a new track as a software instrument there is no sound when playing samples in the arrange window.
The samples will play fine in the browser window and will also show up on the mixer levels when I give midi keyboard command but just no sound.
Audio tracks have no problems.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

In addition:
The reason a Green Apple Loop can be played from a MIDI keyboard (provided it's set up correctly) is, a green loop loads an instrument.
To work with instruments on your own, without loops.
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" look at chapter 3. But really, read the whole thing if you have time. If the manuals aren't used most users never get beyond using 5% of Logic's capabilities.

Software instruments not playing

I had to reload my hard drive after a re-format, in doing so my GB has been working funny. My software instruments play only as a keyboard, with slight variation despite what instrument is selected. It does this with or without the midi keyboard connected. I reinstalled it from factory disk and the problem still exists. Ideas?

Oops, I didn't read your entire sentence, I missed the last bit. I actually didn't realize you could use the onscreen keyboard while the Create DialogBox was open.
In fact, naughty GB programmers, that's a Modal Dialog, you shouldn't be able to use the onscreen keyboard while it's open.
But as you correctly posted, it does work

Swf file wont play from httpserver, windows opens up but doesn't play, but works fine from SunOne

Iphone 4 when updated to 6.1.2 wont play video on kenwood in car

When I updated my iphone 4 to the 6.1.2 software it wont play the video in my car anymore. The sound still works but no video, I dont know what happened. I have gone through the kenwood forums and they are saying that it had something to do with the update that apple put out. Any suggestions?

That's why I disdain the cloud and prefer terra firma with a good recent local backup on a computer I control. But anyway...
As far as the phone is concerned, its data is kaput. Will have to be patient and reload/salvage what you can from the ancient backup. Like I said, phone is empty, nothing to save from there, so if it does not restore at first try, don't be afraid to stop it, wipe it clean and start again.

Writing Music Notes for Software Instruments

How do I write music notes for the software instruments to play? I got to the place to write the notes, but I can't make the actual notes show up on the chart. How do I do this?

Playing 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 software instruments at the same time

in older days, if you clicked on 3 programs in the sequencer like track 1,2 and 3 which made them blink on an Ensoniq TS10
you heard all three instruments at the same time which allowed for quite a nice sound. Other companies im sure had this feature. This was great for live playing as you had lots of combinations of SI/programs to experiment with. It seems GB when played live only plays one of the SI at a time. Am i wrong here? wouldnt it be nice if we could hit track one with piano, then double click track 2 with a synth pad, then the same with track 3 with a flute combine their sounds and depending on the RAM & processor speed ( ive got tons ) one could hear live the combination of multiple si and sf2's. this should be on GB 3.1 when i play at home live i should be able to hear the combination of sounds not just one of them

Drag the software instrument(s) into the timeline. Just clicking on a si loop in the browser window is for previewing the si. You can change the length of the loops by grabbing the right edge of the loop and dragging it.
Play around with GB and read the Help files.

I do not see the user interface for the Logic software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but I cannot see them to adjust parameters. Please advise.

I do not see the user interface for the Logic Pro software instruments. I can hear them play through my midi keyboard but cannot see them to adjust the parameters. Please advise.

Couple of things - you can open the interface for any instrument or plug-in by double-clicking its insert slot on the channel strip. You can configure Logic to automatically open the interface for a plug-in when you first instantiate it in the preferences. Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > Mixer, and check the box for "Open plug-in window on insertion".

Playing real instruments with software instruments

Hey, I've been using logic for years but have never tried playing with a real instrument until now. When i connect my guitar Logic recognizes it and changes the driver to unknown USB device, but there is no sound since built-in input isn't selected and the instrument records but i can't hear it until i switch it back. How do you play real instruments with software instruments? Should be pretty simple. Thanks.
- Sean

Okay… the way Logic works is to use the same device for both Inputs & Outputs (there is a way round this, but let's not go there just now. First person to say 'Aggregate Device' gets thumped!).
So when you choose your device (usefully known as "Unknown USB Device") in Audio MIDI Setup, this means that you are no longer using your Built-in Inputs & Outputs — because that's the alternative.
Which means you won't hear anything through your speakers connected to your Mac. To hear an Output, you would have to connect your monitors/headphones/etc. to your device.
Furthermore:
_Auto Input Monitoring_
If Auto Input Monitoring is switched on, you will only hear the input signal during the actual recording—before and afterwards, you’ll hear the previously recorded audio on the track, while the sequencer is running. This helps you to judge punch in and punch out points when punch recording. If Auto Input Monitoring is switched off, you will always hear the input signal.
_To switch auto input monitoring on, do one of the following:_
• Choose +Options > Audio > Auto Input Monitoring+ from the main menu bar (or use the +Toggle Auto Input Monitoring+ key command).
• Control-click the Record button in the Transport, and turn on the +Auto Input Monitoring+ setting in the pop-up menu.

Cursor in arrange window won't move when track is playing

Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem I'm having with Logic? I've been away from making tracks for a few weeks and now that I'm trying to use logic again I'm finding that cursor is not moving when I play a track, both in a new session and in old sessions. I am able to move the cursor by double clicking on the bottom part of the ruler but it doesn't scroll as it should during play. Is this a bug and do I need to reinstall logic or did I inadvertently set something to the wrong setting?
thanks a lot for your help,
Mike
p.s. I am running logic 7.1 on an IMac G5

The function you probably want is called Catch. Check out:
Logic Pro > Preferences > Global
There's a tab there (called Catch) that allows you to turn Catch off and on - check out the manual for detailed comments on the three options available.
Also, on the Arrange Window there's a button in the top left corner - looks like a person walking. If that's grey, the Catch function is turned off. If blue, the Catch function will operate.

Polyphony- how many notes can play at one time with the software instrument

Hello everyone! Is the Polyphony limited in Garageband 3 when playing the software instruments? Is there a setting I should tweak? I noticed this when using the sustain pedal with the grand piano sound.

I can't give you exact figures, but GB does have problems with overlapping notes. It's weird sometimes - while it certainly can play a lot of notes at a time, like big chords, it chokes on melodies where the notes overlap. I don't know of any other fix than making sure that the notes don't overlap.

Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

What must I do to play a software instrument from UltimateSoundBank with MIDI in Logic Pro?

What must I do to play a software instrument from UltimateSoundBank with MIDI in Logic Pro? I can´t find it in the Logic library.

Everyone reading your posts here is just another MacBook Pro user. We're all volunteers, not Apple employees. No one here can speak for Apple.
In my personal opinion, buying Apple products in a country where Apple has no stores and no corporate presence is a risk that the buyer takes knowingly. I don't think it's a wise risk, and I don't recommend that anyone take it. A small percentage of the products sold anywhere are going to have problems, and it makes more sense to buy an inferior product that can at least be serviced locally than to buy a superior product that may have to be sent thousands of miles for repair if anything ever goes wrong with it.

Using ITunes Tutorials will not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.
