What's with midi controller 23 in audio instruments?

If I record midi continous controller #23 to an audio instrument track it doesn't come up as a curve in hyperdraw. It comes up like a long straight line (at the top of the region) with dots and it can't be edited properly (the only possible values are 0 and 1.
Controller data #23 recorded an a standard midi track works fine.
I would like to know if there's something wrong with my setup or if anyone else gets this too.

Obviously a display bug using range 0-1 instead of 0-127.
Most stumping however that just controller #23 seems to be affected.
Well, another little mystery of Logic...

  • Trouble with midi controller

    I have had ongoing trouble getting my midi keyboard assigned to logic plugins/parameters although it has automatically picked up the signal of the keyboard once before it is now still coming through but i cant get the sound working within logic anymore what so ever, i think i might have made a change i shouldnt have within the midi preferences but i have checked inputs volumes etc they seem fine what might be the problem can anyone help?

    yep i have instrument tracks set up with both ultrabeat and es1 and are looking to control with keyboard, I can see that it is picking up the keyboard as surtain sliders on the keyboard are automatically assigned to the cutoff on es1 but just dont have any sound what so ever, when all other output sounds from logic itself are fine. I have tried almost everything in the midi preferences, and just cant work it out.

  • What's that effect with MIDI? How to make it works on Logic Pro?

    Hey guys,
    Look at this video at 6:00.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUsq16D7-KE&feature=uploademail
    How to make something like that on Logic? Guy uses Logic for sure, I watched other videos.

    Look at the time at 6:00. He does something (I don't know how to call it) with sliders on his Akai MPD. It's not a sample it is some effect in Logic, or some option in Logic which you can do with MIDI Controller.

  • Audio Instrument Midi Channels

    Hello, all. Can someone explain to me the pros and cons of having the MIDI channel for your audio instruments set to 1 as opposed to all All (or All as opposed to 1, for that matter)? I ask this because I was having some problems with a third party plug (Native Instruments' Reaktor 4); namely it was playing in one instrument track (1), but then when I would set up another track with another instance of the same plug, it wouldn't play at all on the new track. This was very odd because when I inserted a different plug on the second track, I WOULD hear the new plug. Anyway, to make a long story short, I noticed the MIDI channels of all my instruments were set to 1. I changed them to All, and everything is now working and I can hear all my instruments. However, I was (still am) wondering if I, perhaps, just detrimented myself in some manner I know not what by changing my intrument MIDI channels from 1 to All.
    Any help on clearing this up would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much, one and all, for all the help and support.
    Javier Calderon

    Thank you very much for the response, Natural. I'm glad that as far as you know, midi channel 1 generally works well.
    Interestingly enough, I actually have to manually set the midi channel to 1 (on all tracks other than inst 1, that is) because whenever I create an instrument, Logic seems to automatically assign the instrument to its corresponding midi channel - i.e. inst 1=midi 1, inst 2=midi 2, etc.
    And what you said regarding some software instruments being sensetive to the midi channel you assign seems to be thoroughly correct. However, it seemed to be channel 1 that caused the bugaboo in my NI Reaktor plug. Setting the midi channels to All seemed to work well.
    Thanks again.
    Anyone else have any knowledge or advice to impart would be welcomed and appreciated.

  • Dedicate midi controller to instrument

    I would like to know how to dedicate a midi controller to a specific instrument. I currently use two devices. I would like the Korg micrKontrol to be dedicated to a specific instrument. I would then use my Keystation for the instrument I have actively selected. It is important to not allow the Korg to work with the selected region.
    I am using Logic 8.

    Figured it out!
    Open Environment window
    View --> deselect "By Text"
    drag the physical input that I want to the instrument I desire

  • Alesis Midi Controller Keyboard setup with Logic Pro 8

    Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me... I'm a complete newbie!
    Recently bought a Macbook with Logic Pro 8 and would like to get set up for some home recording. The keyboard I want to use as a midi controller is the Alesis QS6 which has been in the wardrobe for some time. I have a Midiman USB midi interface.
    When I connect it all up, I can't get it to make any sounds from Logic, only from the keyboard itself, which I don't want. A friend suggested taking out one of the midi cables so now I have only Midi out from the keyboard running into Midi in on the Midiman. When I play the keyboard the notes register on the Transport bar and I can even record them but I cannot hear anything.
    Can anyone tell me what settings I need to have on the Alesis? Should the Keyboard Mode be on Normal, CH Solo or Out 1,2,3...16? I read somewhere I need to turn General Midi off, does this sound right? Is it something to do with midi channels - I don't even know how to tell which midi channel is selected in Logic.
    If anyone has experience with using the QS6 with Logic I would love to hear from you!!!
    Thanks!

    Run the Audio/MIDI Setup utility. Is your keyboard/MIDI interface displayed in there?
    If not, OSX does not see your MIDI device. Install it's drivers if it has them. If it doesn't have any drivers, your MIDI config might have got hosed. What keyboard is it?
    Unplug and replug it, directly, don't use a hub. Does it show up in the AMS utility now? Try powering it for an adapter, not from USB.
    If you still get no joy, I'll give you some procedures to try...

  • Sending audio samples to midi controller

    i have logic pro 8 and i was wondering how to send chopped up samples of an audio file to my midi controller which is an axiom 49. for example, i wanna chop up some vocals and instrument loops from a song called dazed and confused to create a hip hop song and i ve seen it done before on youtube just wondering how to do it.

    Not sure what you mean by sending audio samples to your MIDI controller. Maybe you'd like to play or trigger these samples from your controller? One way is to cut them up (lots of ways to do this in Logic) and then assign the resultant bits of audio as samples in the EXS sample player. You can also assign these samples in Ultrabeat.
    You'll need a basic familiarity with editing in Logic, as well as some fundamental knowledge of the EXS sampler or Ultrabeat.

  • Problem with Yamaha PSR-550 as MIDI controller

    Hi:
    A friend lent me a Yamaha PSR-550 to use as a MIDI controller for Software Instruments, but I am having a few problems. My MIDI to USB interface is an M-Audio Uno 1x1. I have already used my Roland V-Accordion with no issues- it was plug and play. I assumed the same with the Yamaha and hooked it up but got no sound. Checking the 550's manual I saw that there were a few different templates for MIDI setup. The "Master Keyboard" looked right (using the keyboard strictly as a controller for MIDI data) but it gave me nothing. I tried the other templates too without success.
    In GB help I read about Audio MIDI Setup, opened it, created a new device and connected the ins and outs but still got no sound from the keyboard and no indications in Test Setup. Then I downloaded a USB-MIDI driver for the Yamaha and installed that. Nothing. Reading some posts in the Discussions I swapped the MIDI in and out cables, although they specify "To MIDI In" &c. Still nothing. Finally I noticed that the M-Audio Uno is showing no activity coming from the keyboard. I tried all those templates again but am still seeing no signal from the 550. As an aside, I just noticed that when I click on the "New External Device" icon while in Test Setup mode the Out arrow from the Uno shows red and the Uno itself indicates that a signal is going out.
    My question is whether I am doing something wrong in the PSR-550 setup, or if the MIDI out on the keyboard could possibly be bad. Thanks to everyone in advance for any help you can give me.
    /bob luke

    I am working without a net here (not at home where my Mac and Yamaha are), but I will TRY to lend some advice from my experience, and will try to confirm and clarify it tonight when I get home.
    I go through the same problem every time I hook up my PSR-740 to my Mac. I too have a Uno 1x1. It usually takes some fiddling with all of the controls.
    I seem to recall the main issue is within the Yamaha's setups and I don't know if the 550 has the same options as the 740. But, what I have to do is go into the MIDI Utility function on the 740 and make sure 2 functions are set a certain way - I believe one has to be External ('Control' function?) and the other may be 'Yes' to MIDI output?. Don't quote me on that yet and sorry for the vague answer. Hopefully I can set you straight later today.

  • What to buy? I want to use my Technics KN-5000 as the MIDI controller.

    Hi,
    I tried searching for similar threads but couldn't find something that close to my particular situation. I'm completely new to Logic and computer MIDI in general, at the moment I have...
    Technics KN-5000
    iMac 24"
    From what I've read and heard I am planning to buy...
    Logic Studio
    a USB-MIDI converter cable
    My main questions are:
    Is this all I need to get started with Logic?
    Are there any disadvantages to using an older keyboard as opposed to a new purpose-built MIDI controller?
    Will I only be able to use the software instruments from Logic, or will I be able to use the instruments from the KN-5000?
    Will I be able to map any controls from the KN5000 to Logic functions (sliders, etc.)?
    When capturing MIDI will Logic capture the full range of features from the KN5000 (sustain pedal, etc.)?
    Is there anything else I should consider buying?
    I appreciate that I've given a whole load of questions, if anyone can answere any of the questions it'd me much appreciated. Also, I can only apologise for being an annoying noob!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Welcome to the forum!
    1. To get starting with Logic Yes!
    you don't say how much ram you've got
    but it is advisable 2GB.
    2. Nope.
    3. You can use both, but after listen the sounds you have in Logic
    I don't think you'll use the KN's.
    4.Problably Yes.
    5. Yes!
    6. An audio interface if you plan to record audio,
    Monitors (speakers) I believe it's a must, I don't believe you get satisfaction from
    iMac speakers...
    Well, next time try to post only one question, I'm getting dizzy... ;o)
    Peace,

  • I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

    I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
    Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • Midi controller / audio interface

    hi - After years of working with Cubase on a PC, i have become a brand new mac convert and have just invested in a macbook pro with logic express.
    I am looking for recommendations for getting midi in & out of the computer as well as a good audio interface. I play keyboards and will use an external midi sound module for sounds so midi latency (as near as possible to zero) is important as is audio quality and I am looking to buy a new midi controller keyboard. Am i right in thinking that the new breed of keyboards will act as the midi interface too?
    Finally if there are any good "starting out" reading resources you can point me to that would be greatfully appreciated!
    thanks

    Hi Alex,
    Welcome to the Forum!
    You already have the solution on the back of your mind,
    Most midi keyboard controllers can be pluged via USB to your computer, and act as a midi interface for other modules too,
    some of them also have an audio input.
    As you don't state any buget, my only advice will go to the audio interface,
    each one has it's own preferences, and I'm sure it's going to rain answer on that matter; go for an Firewire interface to audio (USB's weak), also take a look at your internal HD (I believe it's an 5400rpm drive) you need and external HD 7200rpm in that case for audio.
    Finally, if the resources you looking are about Le, instead of reading
    the best I fiound to date is Martin Sitter's videos:

  • Opinion on what to do with midi keyboard situation

    So a few weeks ago I purchased a m audio axiom 61 midi keyboard to use with logic 9 on my mbp that is currently running snow leopard. I connect the keyboard through a usb cable and when doing so, the keyboard turns on but no noise comes out when I press the keys. When I hook up to the keyboard to any computer running leopard it works fine, the problem is only when I hook it up to computers running snow leopard.
    The keyboard is class compliant so there are no drivers, updates, or software that will make it work. After searching all over the internet these past few weeks for a solutions and having a horrible response in terms of customer service from m audio I have basically lost hope in terms of having this keyboard work with my computer.
    I am asking what you guys think the best solution is for this problem. I'm debating either having to purchase a leopard install disc just to downgrade so it will run with my computer or selling the keyboard and just purchasing another one from a different company that will work with my computer by default. Both of these solutions would be a nuisance and I'm not looking forward to going through the steps for either.
    What do you guys think I should do, and if you have any ideas on what to do please let me know.
    Thank you.

    I think we need to slow down here. You do not need to open Audio MIDI setup to test if the board works. Plug the thing in, open Logic, and simply look down in the transport window while you press some keys. You should see Note numbers flash just to the left of the CPU meters.
    This is the critical step. CoreMidi is smart enough to know what is going on without even opening Audio MIDI Setup first. I do it all the time. I plug my M-Audio 02 keyboard in to the mac with a cable, and instantly get at least the notes coming into Logic in the transport as I described.
    If you get the notes recognized, then your Axiom is fine.
    As far as sound goes, that's a whole different story. You will get no sound in Logic unless you do several things first. I won't go into them all here, as I'm hoping you already know about going to the Preferences button at the top left of the screen and choosing Audio... from the list. Core Audio will come up and you can make sure you have Built-in Input selected since you don't have an external interface.
    Then make a new track, choose a Soft Instrument, and a piano or something, and play away.
    Audio Midi Setup control panel is for setting the SYSTEM's audio midi settings. Logic uses it's own settings. You need to set both to the same thing ideally.
    But, say you get a firewire interface. Hook it up, go to Audio Midi Setup, you choose it as your choice of audio interface, and done....but Logic will still have Built-in Input set and you will hear nothing...so you have to again go and change it in Preferences > Audio.
    bottom line, I use GarageBand as my test bed for things like this. It's a bit more "direct". The first track it puts in the line for you is a Piano...so you just plug the axiom in, and start playing.
    Verify for us that you are getting note recognition in the Transport area.
    One last thing - do you have a bunch of stuff plugged into the USB port with the Axiom? There is always the possibility there isn't enough bandwidth for the board to work if you have a scanner, iPhone, card reader, digital camera and keyboard/mouse all plugged in...longshot, but worth a mention.

  • Help with usb Midi controller on brand new machine! Please!!

    I just unboxed my macbook pro 13" non-retina and updated to 10.9.1, installed a few of my apps, etc.    I'm having a meltdown over my midi-controller not being recognized. It is a Roland A-49 USB Midi Keyboard controller that is not powering on. It runs off bus power just fine in my older 15" MBP and also from my '12 Mac Mini. When I pull up the system profiler, under USB it reads to me:
    How can I get this working properly?

    Hi there, been a viewer of the discussions here for a while & felt compelled to finally sign up to hopefully offer some help with this problem as I had exactly the same when I first got Logic Pro.
    The problem is more to do with the sound setup than the controller keyboard as logic is sensing midi data as you have seen in the transport.
    I would suggest firstly (Hopefully Pro & Express are the same in these respects) clicking on the Logic Express tab in the top left, then Preferences, then Audio.
    In the box that appears select the Drivers tab. Then make sure that the Core Audio check box is ticked. Under that make sure that you output source is selected (ie your interface if using monitors, or built in Audio if not)
    Hopefully this should help.
    The simplest to test your sound is by clicking on the Audio tab (3rd or 4th along at top) & opening the Loop Browser, choosing a catagory & draging a sound onto a track.
    Remember to click on the track you will be dragging onto to select it & in the Loop Browser Blue loops go onto audio tracks & green onto instrument tracks.
    Now with testing the controler keyboard...
    Click on an instrument channel, then goto the bottom left of the screen where you will see that channels fader.
    Above the fader click on the I/O (you may have to click & hold here) choose either mono or stereo, then choose say the EXS24 & try you keyboard.
    Hit * on the numeric keypad & play something, then hit space to stop & you will have your 1st region.
    I hope this helps with you problem, Logic can be confusing at times but is worth sticking with.
    Good luck

  • Error trying to sync audio with midi

    I get this "Error trying to sync audio with midi" using my motu 828mk2 firewire sound card.
    I have updated my osx to 10.5.2 and now i cant use my motu ... osx 10.5.2 has a firewire issue with the motu 828mk2 if any one else has the same problem with any make of audio devices please let me know, i cant seem to find a solution unless i go back to my old osx or buy another sound module, but i should not have to result in doing something like that when i have spent a **** lot of cash buying this in the first place, isnt motu and apple both big players in pro audio? why is it so un compatable, is it just me with this issue or is their a major blunder with apple or motu, it only seems to happen with osx 10.5.2 and nothing else with the same machine with diffrent installls, so apple get on to it and fix it as im sure its the new osx firewire kexts or something, its not motu as it works fine with everything else and the same machine with all os systems.....except osx 10.5.2.

    Well, I thought this was fixed by changing the buffer size but it isn't. Still get the "Error trying to sync Audio with MIDI" error. Logic is detecting 44.1 kHz, I have Logic set for 96 kHz. The FireWire is set for 96 kHz, internal sync. Logic preferences are set for sync -> internal. Audio sync is set for "external or free" (I am not using a MTC source). I have downloaded and installed v1.8.4 from M-audio. I changed the IO buffer from 256 to 512.
    I can't figure out what the magic is here. When I boot Logic, it syncs fine until I click on the "help" menu, the loses sync. Occasionally it comes back for no apparent reason. The system has no problem recognizing the 410 or bringing up the management interface.
    Any sage words of advice?
    Thanks, Bark

  • Midi controller doesnt work with ES2

    Hi
    Im using my virus TI synth as a midi controller for my soft synths.
    It works just fine with my NI instruments, the midi learn functions just fine with those,
    but when i try midi learn with the ES2 i cant get the virus to control any of it.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks
    digi

    With the help of Bee Jay (much thanks), I figured this out. What you have to do is this
    First, use the Virus TI graphic user interface to create a Remote Template. You can learn how to do this by going to pages 24-26 of the Virus Control Tutorial.pdf (read it carefully). I would suggest creating a new template titled "Logic".
    In creating this template, you will need to create MIDI strings for each of the Virus' knobs (page 25-26 in the Virus Control Tutorial.pdf). I would suggest using some of the MIDI controller numbers for the ES1's parameters, which are listed on page 248 of the Logic Studio Instruments and Effects.pdf manual - if you do that, the ES1's knobs will respond to those Virus knobs for which you assigned the specific controller numbers listed for the ES1. Then you can create some more unique MIDI controller strings any extra (unassigned) Virus knobs. In any case, each of the Virus knobs has to be assigned to a unique MIDI Controller number.
    After this is done, you can use Logic's Controller Assignments "learn" function to assign the virus to control the other Logic instruments. First, make sure your Virus is in Remote mode and your new "Logic" Remote Template is loaded, and open up a Logic instrument (e.g., the ES2). Now hit command-L. Logic's Controller Assignments window will appear, but you can just drag it off to the side for the moment. Now click on a knob on the ES2, then twiddle the knob you want to use on the Virus. Do that for as many knobs as you want, then deactivate the "Learn" button on the Controller Assignments window when you're done.
    Then, whenever you want to control a Logic instrument which you've set up this way, you just need to put the Virus in Remote Mode and make sure you load the "Logic" Template.

Maybe you are looking for
