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.
I want to use the USB Instrument I have as a software instrument in Logic Pro 9.

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.

Is it possible to automate software instrument parameters in a MIDI region? And alias the region with the automation?

I am trying to track down a detail about how automation works in Logic Pro X.
What I want to know is:
1. Can I draw control-point curves (and smoothly bend them) in a MIDI region to automate a software instrument parameter (and/or smart controls)?
2. Can a region containing this automation be aliased and reused around the timeline (without the automation points being duplicated)?
If this is possible, can someone please post a couple of screenshots - a MIDI region with MIDI Draw automating (for example) the cutoff of an ES M, and screenshots of aliases around the timeline?
thanks!!

First, I'd recommend going to Track>other>new with same instrument. This gives you a blank lane to make a region with no notes.
Now, there are two strategies: do some track automation and then convert it to region. You can go into the local view menu and find the option to view MIDI automation and still adjust it. Now you can make aliases of that region. You need to be careful of accidentally writing new track automation, which is easy to do and can happen if you have 'move automation with regions' on for instance. If you make sure and delete all the track auto for this parameter you should be good (the line should be barely visible black, if it is highlighted in color, that means there is at least one active node at the beginning). If the parameter freaks out, instead of following your curve, you can bet there is track automation fighting with the region automation, you might need to tell the automation menu in the track header to show the parameter in question. None of this is a big deal and after doing it once you'll see.
The other strategy is to assign a controller to a parameter (or use the quick MIDI things on certain instruments - you mentioned ES2, which has that) and you can use the hyper draw in the piano roll. The view tip from the first strategy still works so you can edit the automation in the arrange. I prefer the first strategy because the knob you are automating will still move.
If you go to audio tuts plus (something like that) you can find a tut on the first method that's a few years old, and from Logic 9. Basically the same, you just have to look through different menus for everything.

What Causes Music Not To Play On My iPod Touch OS5.0.1 and Mac Pro?

I have an iPod touch and a Mac Pro. I am running the latest iTumes and IOS. About half my songs refuse to play either on the MacPro or the iPod. None of the songs were purchased from the iTunes store. This is a recent behavior. The songs will also list songs out of order. It will list one song and play another. Everything is out of sync. When I synced the iPod duplicate files were installed. I fixed that but most of my songs will not Play.
iPod 4
iOS 5.0.1
Mac OS 7.2
iTunes 10.5.1

The app, if not restricted, may be hidden in your folders. If you go to settings, general, reset, reset home screen layout, you can rule that out.
Does your restore give you a specific error? If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
You can also restore from your iPod, by going to settings, general, reset, reset all content and settings, but make sure that you have created a backup beforehand.

I just did a software update from Apple for my Mac Book Pro and it crashed severely. Now it will not boot-up. I had the fading down screen with a message saying to hold down the on Button to reboot but it will not, it starts up with the same massage.

It also comes up with some and more of the info below, whatever it means?
Panic CPU 0 <Panic>
Unable to find perform kext scan:
Debugger called <Panic>
Can’t perform kext scan:
SD process name corresponding to correct thread
MAC OS Version:
Not yet set.
What do I do, can anyone help me?
I also updated a Mac Mini and iMac with no problems.

unfortunatly i had no Backups.
You should make sure to correct that as soon as possible. All computers, regardless of make and model, are ticking time bombs. Hard drives can die at any time, leaving you with an inert chunk of metal that may still contain your data, but in a form that is totally inaccessible without paying thousands to a company that will disassemble the drive in a clean room and read what data they can off the platters.
I wonder why should that happen. It was a simple update. Why should an update ruins all my works and my computer...
It is not the update itself, but the fact that you had corruption in your hard drive's data structures, and writing the thousands of files required by the updater worsened that corruption, damaging the system in the process. These problems can be avoided by repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility prior to installing any system update. Most likely, Disk Utility won't find anything to fix, but when it does, you'll be glad you did it before installing the update!

What is the best method for a quick disconnect from time capsule on a Macbook Pro Retina?

Just bought a Macbook Pro Retina and want to attach Time Capsule portable disk. Do I need to go to Finder everytime I want to take my notebook and eject the harddrive?

Quote from Bob Timmons:
"Normally, the TC icon will mount on the desktop during a backup and un-mount at the conclusion of the backup. If the TC icon still happens to be on the deskop, then you would want to right-click on the icon and choose Eject, or simply drag the icon to the Trash to do the same thing."

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.

Live Recording with mics and Software Instruments

Has anyone used the Software Instruments in GB to play live, while recording the Software Instruments direct and live (Real Instruments) as well?
I'm thinking about getting a FirePod or similar, to record my band live using several mics and playing and recording Software Instruments all at once. I'm concerned that this set up might have too much latency and make the Software Instruments not playable with my band live, and perhaps all this might make my iMac G5 bog down.
Anyone have any experiences with any or all of this kind of use of GarageBand with an audio/MIDI interface?
iMac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey Hang,
Sorry if I'm talking in circles. That post was early!
I'd like to be able to use the built-in Software Instruments live and record that MIDI as well as the live tracks at the same time. However, I could deal with using my own keyboards for the live sounds and just record the MIDI from them while recording the live tracks too, if that makes the system work. For instance, if the part I wanted was a piano, and the Software Instrument piano used too much processor power, I could "record" with a smaller instrument that wasn't such a hog. Then, in mixing, I'd use the Software Instrument I wanted for the keyboard part. Live, my real keyboard could provide the piano for all to hear.
Am I making sense yet?
I suppose one thing I could do is something I was thinking of doing already. I could get one of the $40 MIDI-to-USB interfaces to record with the band. Right now, I'm just using a stereo mic set up to record stereo into GB. I could add MIDI and see what happens. Heck, I could enable 6 more real instrument tracks at the same time and see what happens! Then I would know it was possible on the iMac at least.

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments?

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments (the ones you can play with a MIDI keyboard)? From what I've read so far, there are a number of new software instruments in the LPX additional content (as well as loops, etc, but I'm looking for the software instruments). I cannot seem to find this information in the product pages or documentation, though.
With older versions, I was able to find a list of all of the software instruments that came with the software, and all of the software instruments that came with the Jam Packs. Is that list available from Apple, or does anyone have one from somewhere else?

Hi Guys,
I exported my folders from a clean LPX install, does this give you what you want?
First one is the Patch instruments:

This one is the sampler Instruments:

Play more swf-s from playlist

Hi,
I have installed the Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 on
my PC. It's work under IE, Opera and Firefox, but play only one swf
file which I selected. I want to play more swf files one after the
other automatically, like from playlist. What must I do to play
from playlist or from more selected files automatically (also
repeat the complete playlist when it's finished the playlist)? Or
whith which (free) player can I do it?
Thanks

Thanks...
This question has a simple answer. There is a feature of
Flash that you can export called a projector. A projector is a
standalone EXE that wraps the Flash Player and the SWF content
inside of it. You'll see the projector option in CS3's Publish
Settings.
So just create projectors and distribute that EXE.
I should note that projectors created with Flash CS3 will
contain the Flash Player 9 runtime (inside the EXE). You can also
create projectors by opening a SWF in the standalone player, then
choosing File> Create Projector.
You can get the standalone player for FP10 from
"Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes"

Unable for some reason create a Software Instrument

In the Environment I suddenly can't create a software instrument when I go down to New / Channel Strip. The option is greyed out.
Instead I have to go to Arrange and choose New Track. Then choose software instrument from the drop-down menu. That creates a track, which appears in the Mixer as an instrument. I then cut it and paste it into the Environment. Now I have the software instrument where I want it. But I can't help but think this is crazy and wrong!!
I've just bought Virus TI and am confused by how best to set it up. Access support tell me to set it up using New Track/ multitimbral and go that route. The Logic tutorial (made while Logic 7 was around) tells us to set it up using the Environment (which is what I'm used to), make a software instrument, copy it 15 times and make the MIDI channels in ascending order.
Which is the best way?

Unable to hear and record software instruments

I can only hear and record my Korg TR Music Workstation instruments. How can I hear/record the software instruments (from Logic Express 9, Garage Band/Jam Packs)? I have my Korg connected to the computer through an M-Audio recording interface.

You can hear them by:
1. Making sure your midi input is functioning (see a little movement in the transport box)
2. Selecting a virtual instrument in the box just above the 'out' box above the track volume slider
3. Play the chosen instrument from midi keyboard, or draw a region, open, play vertical keyboard on Left side with mouse.
I hope you don't really try to record instruments in the Jam Packs because they're not instruments.
As far as I know , they're loops.

Whats up with Logic Being only sold from Apple and not retail . Are they about to drop Logic Pro?

What is up with Apple taking Logic Pro from the retail stores and only selling direct. Hope they are not about to drop Logic. The retailer I buy from has great tech support that I will more than likey no longer have since they can no longer carry the product.

Many IT insiders see Apple leading a shift in software distribution with the Mac App Store, that for example Microsoft will follow as soon as Win8 is out...
So basically it may well be that most of the Software will be bought direct in a couple of years and that Software Manufacturers may give up feeding their own channel, simply to cut cost and make it simple...
For support this indeed leaves a gap, but there are many examples in the IT world (ie. for Enterprise software, that has always been sold direct) how this gap will be filled: With guys that only provide service...
Logic is pretty darn cheap now, that leaves some space for 200 Bucks or so for a support contract, right?
Anyway, just my 2 cents, I can't see Logic going away anytime soon;-)

Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!!

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15' will not boot an external disk from a Mid-2012 MAcbook Pro. What should I do?

In order to simplify moving all my files from the previous mid-2012 macbook pro 15' when moving to my new late-2013 macbook pro, i superdup-ed the full hard-disk to an external ssd. Unfortunatelly the new mac resuses to boot from this external disk (i get the grey disk with a line over it). The external disk works just fine so if I boot the new mac from its internal SSD I can read/write the external disk without problems.
Old OS X is 10.9 as is the OS on the new mac.
What I need to do is to boot the new mac from the external ssd, use the same superduper to copy the external content onto the internal ssd.
How can I solve this issue?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you made a backup of your files with SuperDuper, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your files from the external drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user account with the transferred files, so you may want to merge both user accounts > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro uses a special OS X Mavericks version which makes OS X compatible with it, and older OS X versions do not work with it. That's the reason why you cannot start up from the external drive created from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro
