Using Kurzweil ME-1, PC-2 with Logic?

I recently purchased a Kurzweil ME-1 (sort-of a module version of PC-2). It is a midi-module with 256 sounds.
So far, it is integrating with Logic nicely. With Auto-Demix turned on, it can play back 16 instruments at once, on separate midi channels. Plus, most of the Kurzweil sounds are luscious. Up to 16 midi-controllers can play and record midi to the ME-1 simultaneously (although, at this time I have only 6 controllers, and an 8 channel midi-interface).
One issue is that the instruments in Logic are the generic MIDI names, not the names of the patches on the Kurzweil. So, I have to get the Patch number from a list, and use that number to program the ME-1 in Logic. I am looking for a driver, patch-preset, or something to fix this. Any advice? (besides the obvious way of typing in the 256 patches manually into Logic. lol)
Also, if anyone has anything to add about using the Kurzweil in Logic, feel free to use this thread to express yourself.
Thanks.
(btw, CC29 turns on a Leslie simulator in the Organ patches. Pretty cool)

OK. So now I am typing in all the correct patch names. (in the Environment, making a new multi-instrument).
I don't see how to save that object so I can use those patch names in any song. Is there something I am missing? I can see the Option to open an environment layer. But, how do I export the layer I just made?
Is there a concept that I am missing here?
Any help would be appreciated. (The manual is useless in this topic)
Thanks.
(I am easily confused by the environment)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
Part of this is incorrect...
Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period. There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.

Anyone using Mac Mini as a DAW with Logic?

Hello Applers',
I am currently using an imac as my DAW ith Logic Pro 9. I am wondering if anyone is using a mini with logic and how does it perform. The one thing that worries me is the 5400 RPM drive and I fear that the Solid State drive, even dualed would not offer enough storage space for the Long Haul as I currently have over a TB filled and an external TB drive 70% full with older files on my Imac. Just looking for opinions here and thanks!

Can I use a VS-700C control surface with Logic Pro?

Hi,
Does anybody know if I can use a Roland VS-700C control surface and/or VS-700R audio interface with Logic Pro?
Cheers,

If it supports the Makie protocol, it might work... but I wouldn't purchase one on that basis without trying it first.

How to use my TS 12 Ensoniq keyboard with Logic Pro X

I just got Logic Pro X but I have no idea how to use my midi keyboard. I have a midi to usb cable running between my TS-12 Ensoniq keyboard. How do I set up the drivers or really just get it all to work. I'm a noob to the hardware stuff though I'm quiet fimilar with Logic 9. Help would be great asap!

So I guess it can make the sound of one hand clapping?
Anyway...
Does the USB-MIDI cable need drivers? What brand is it? There are some cheap ones floating around ebay that don't work properly with all hardware. Assuming you've got a working one that needs no drivers, all you need to do is plug it in, the OS and Logic should detect it automatically. In Audio MIDI Setup (MIDI page) you can check if your Mac indeed recognizes the MIDI interface. It will not show the TS12 itself, just the MIDI interface.
You can find Audio MIDI Setup in Applications>Utilities.

Using Eventide Eclipse as outboard gear with Logic Pro 8/9

Hi, people,
Anyone using Eventide's Eclipse as outboard FX box with Logic Pro? I'm thinking of getting one and running it via digital I/O into my RME Fireface 800. Any info appreciated.
Thanks, Scorpii.

Yes it is possible, first connect your outboard to the soundcard.....then load the I/O (inserts) plug in on the track you want to process....you can find it in the utility menu....then set the routing of the signal in the I/O window....if you want to record the processed track create a new track with the right routing and the work is done.hope this replay help you . Regards

Anyone using Cakewalk/Roland A800-pro controller with Logic?

I'm looking to buy an extra keyboard besides my Fantom X8 to use onstage and trigger sounds from the Fantom. So it has to have a classic MIDI-out and a nice keybed. The A800-pro seems the right board to do that.
But when at home I want to use it with Logic also. The A800-pro has the ACT system of Sonar integrated, but I don't use Sonar, I use Logic on a Macbook Pro (wich maybe will be taken onstage too).
Is anyone using the Cakewalk A-pro series with a Mac? How does it function as a controller? Or what other board do you recommend instead? Does it funtion well with mainstage?
Thanks in advance, Wilmar

Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
Any suggestions?

How to use the Optical in on 002r with Logic Studio?

Hi there
i'm trying to figure out a problem that i really can't find a solution,i'm using Logic studio 8 whith Digi 002rack and 7.4 core audio version,my question is how to select in logic the optical IN of the 002r that in my case is connected to my triton rack synth?
i can use the spdif in of the 002 but i can't find a way to use the optical in.
thanks all

I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.

Using the MXL USB.006 microphone with logic express 7.2.3

When I have the USB audio codec selected in logic express 7.2.3 (macbook pro, intel dual core) I cant get any sound from my speakers on the laptop, or the headphones I use with the laptop headphone jack. I can record vocals but can't hear playback. If I switch to the built-in audio driver for the macbook pro, I can hear the vocal I recorded on the MXL, but with the built-in driver selected, I can't record with the mic.
Is there a solution for this?

Hi md,
I think if you look up Aggregate device in help it's what you need. You create one in Audio MIDI set up which allows for input via the USB microphone, and output through built in audio. Then Select it in Mac Sound Preferences.
Good lck,

Using 2 or more USB instruments with Logic Pro

I recently purchased a Korg M3 (which is great). I'm considering adding a Motif XS rack.. My question, are any Logic Users out there using Logic Pro with two or more USB instruments connected?
Are there any issues with that (other than assigning to different MIDI channels)? Does USB bog down when there is too much data?

I'm only using these three lines of code. If they don't work, neither will any more lines.
I discovered the issue thought. If I read two different fields from the same user-defined table then it works. If I read from two different user-defined tables I get the error. Apparently B1 can't handle parameters being set from two different ud tables.
This works:
DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_CCode FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_CCode = '[%3]')
While this does not:
DECLARE @S2 nvarchar(30), @S3 nvarchar(30)
SELECT @S2 = (SELECT T0.U_Country FROM [dbo].[@COUNTRIES] T0 WHERE T0.U_Country = '[%2]')
SELECT @S3 = (SELECT T0.U_AdCode FROM [dbo].[@BPGROUPS] T0 WHERE T0.U_AdCode = '[%3]')

Can I use my old Garageband Jam Packs with Logic Pro X?

I'm in the process of moving all of my Logic X Library content to an external hard drive and it occurred to me that I still have 4 GarageBand Jam Packs that I might be able to use in Logic X. Does anyone know if there is any real difference in the loop content of the Jam Packs and the loops that are on Logic X ? Has anyone tried this and made any kind of comparison? Just wondering. Thanks.

When you download all the additional content from within Logic Pro X.. any jam packs you are missing are then installed during that process... but if you already have them all installed the LPX additional content installer will find them and set them up for use in LPX.
The content of the Jam packs are identical....

Any one familiar with using Motif Racks Studio Manager program with Logic

I’ve had my Motif Rack(1st Mo rack) for over a year now. I recently downloaded and installed the midi driver, Studio manager v2.3.1 and the Motif Rack 2 editors on my Imac to be able to control my rack while in Logic. When I start Studio Manager and go to add the editor modules I get the following error: "Following components could not be loaded. Please ensure that you have installed required components correctly. It then identifies the two Motif Rack editors.I checked threads on this issue and found some one with the same problem but his issue was never resolved. Hope this is the right spot to post this. Thanks in advance.

The system does that because Yamaha was smart enough to release a universal binary that doesn't work on Intel CPUs. If they'd just recompile Studio Manager without support for the x86 architecture, the issue would fix itself. Apparently they think it's better to have frustrated and confused users scouring the internet for an obscure solution to a problem that Yamaha could fix in 15 minutes.

Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?

Is anyone here using the Garritan Personal Orchestra with Logic?
How stable is this within Logic, any troubles?
Also, how do the solo string instruments sound, realistic or synthy?

I have absolutely no problems with using the Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) with Logic. Currently, the GPO uses Native-Instrument's +Kontakt 2 Player+ as do many, many other instrumental libraries. With that in mind, the other instrumental libraries (powered by +Kontakt 2 Player+ ) work just fine with Logic as well. Very shortly, though, the GPO will be coming out with its own "player" called Aria. To make a somewhat long story short, Aria works just fine with Logic as well.
As for the sound of GPO's solo string instruments. . . . I tell you, any of the sounds can and do sound unrealistic or synthy if played without manipulation. What makes them sound quite realistic is a tiny bit of effort with controlling the volume, vibrato, and a couple of audio parameters that can (and should) be manipulated during the sequencing process. But this is true for most if not ALL orchestral libraries made by any of the other instrumental software companies. For just a little under $200.00 (USA) dollars, you get a whole LOT of orchestral instruments that sound quite convincing. . . with a little effort! I would say that GPO is an EXCELLENT orchestral library to start with if you plan on doing lots of orchestral compositions for almost any musical situations. If you're like me, than you might want to later invest in other orchestral libraries and use them in combination with the GPO library. Again, with a little effort, one can achieve an even MORE realistic sound using combinations of instrumental software libraries.
But I suggest that you simply visit the GPO site. There you'll find a HUGE selection of demos that show off the GPO library in a very convincing way! I have heard examples by people who put a whole LOT of effort in their sequencing project that just sound very, very life-like! So not only did they put LOTS of effort in manipulating the individual orchestral sounds (including strings), but they put LOTS of effort in planning careful instrumental placement in the stereo field, proper use of reverb, EQing, etc., etc. There truly are examples of very life-like sounding orchestrations using GPO on the official web site! (There are also some very less than convincing examples as well.) So, take some time and explore the web site: http://www.garritan.com.
You'll find even MORE examples at: http://www.northernsounds.com
Good luck with your decision. . .
Ted
P. S. Just for a little clarification. . . . the +Kontakt 2 Player+ (that currently houses GPO and many other instrumental libraries) can be a bit of a challenge to configure to work properly with the multi-instrument function found within Logic Pro 8. It's also a bit of a CPU and memory hog. But with some adjustments and some proper configuration, the +Kontakt 2 Player+ and its instrumental libraries that it powers will work just fine with Logic.
