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,
Jorge

I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?
Depending on the model of the Blackberry & the carrier.
if the blackberry didn't have 3G or a 3g sim card (depending on the carrier), then the SIM is probably too old to use and would require a new SIM.
The data plans on some carriers specify a blackberry data plan and an iPhone data plan, and they are not interchangable, so the carrier would have to switch that.
Usually since iphones come with a SIM preinstalled, some carriers may tell you the SIM card can't be transferred between an iphone and another device. -

I've recently started to use Numbers on my macbook pro but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use.
Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

I want to create a rules table so that the schema name in front of the table name in the from clause can be controlled by a separate table that is maintained but its not working . Help and your valuable inputs needed for this issueI want to use a dynamic schema name in the from clauseyou can alternatively set the current schema as e.g. in:
declare
vblqueryname varchar2 (20);

vblqueryname := '060_525_020';

if we dont want to use sleep/wakeup button for dissconnect the call so there is any other option for dissconnect the call without using sleep/wakeup button in ios 8.1.3 . kindly suggest..!
Hello kumar kalptaru,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button.
Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
While on a call - iPhone
End a call. Tap or press the Sleep/Wake button.

Hi there,
I just moved into a basement apartment in a two family home. We share internet and cable. The signal in my apartment is mediocre at best and I wanted to use my time capsule to boost the signal in my apartment while keeping their Fios network intact upstairs. Is there any way to do this without having to turn off the wifi in the Verizon actiontec router? Any help or tips would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance.The only way to boost signal with apple products is to another apple product.
Or run ethernet or some other replacement for wireless. eg EOP (homeplug) adapters. These are not foolproof though.. they depend on circuits being wired via simple fuses and can at times not work.
Your other choice is to get an Airport Express.. plug it into the FIOS router and use that to establish a network.. it can also be used as a wireless bridge in the downstairs area but you can pick whichever works the best. If your wireless is reasonable at least in one location downstairs any wireless bridge could do the same thing.. and plug into the TC for your downstairs wireless. -
The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?
If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?
The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port. -
I wanted to use an itunes gift card in the ibookstore, but it charged my credit card automatically without giving me any other option.
None for payment
After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".

If it's a new account then unless you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work on existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 , then you will need to enter credit card details on it before you will be able to use the account in the stores.

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?

Pancenter,
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
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.

How do i change what apple id i want to use when updating apps?
When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?
You cannot.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased. You will always have to update them using the same account.
