Will my Unitor8 non USB Midi Interface work with Logic Pro 8 (MacOSX 10.5.8

I just purchased one of these Unitor8 gizmos, but have no way of connecting it with my Mac due to the absence of the USB connection on the MIDI interface. My question is....can I use a RS422 mini-din 8pin serial >>>to USB adapter converter, and will the OS and Logic recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The problem is not the reliability of the adapter (they're just fine), but that the Midi driver doesn't look for such an adapter. It won't work. The only chance to get your interface to work is to buy one of the emagic interfaces that came with both USB and RS port and to chain them up.
Cheers,

Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello,
Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello,
I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Which 61 key midi keyboards work with Logic Pro X (10)? M-Audio, Novation, Akai, Roland???

Hi. I'm new to this community but would really appreciate some help.
I'm struggling to find a 61 key midi keyboard which works properly with Logic Pro X.
I was looking into getting either the M-Audio Axiom 61 or Novation Impulse 61 but all I can find on google etc. is people saying they don't work properly.
Has anybody got a 61 key which works seamlessly with Pro X?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

To "The Art Of Sound"
Hi. I doing next.
1. I create new project
2. I select Yamaha Grand Piano
3. I play something in "live" mode. All is ok
4. I play something in "Rec" mode. All is ok
5. I record second track with the same instrument, with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok
6. I record third track with Yamaha Grand Piano. All is ok again.
7. Now I muting first or second track and... third track plays wrong notes! I unmute first track, but third track still to play wrong notes! Why???
Ok. I continue experiment with created project. I have three Yamaha grand Piano tracks and I creating new software instrument and assing Hovering Machine to it. I try to play in "live" mode something. And I get interesting effect. If I play short notes (sixteens, for example), I can play for one minute without problem. And Logic Pro X starts to play wrong notes after this time delay.
If I start to press chord notes without breaking, Logic Pro X plays for 15-30 secounds normally and starts to play wrong notes them.
Well. I turn off all plugins and effects from instruments. But Logic Pro X countinues to play wrong notes!
I experimented with NI Kontakt 5. Kontakt plays wrong notes!
I experimented with LUSH-101 plugin and minimoog. This two instruments play correct notes always!!! WHY????
Why some instruments play wrong notes and other instruments play correct notes in the same project?
I wrote wrong in my previous post. I got this problem with Logic Pro X 10.0.3 update.
Actually I have serious problem now. I opened projects created in Logic Pro X early and I have this problem in ALL projects. This's commercial projects and my partners asked me already about release date... What must I answer?

Will the Tascam FW-1884 work with Logic Pro X?

Hello,
I notice that the new Logic is 64 bit only and yet the Tascam FW-1884 is specifically listed as a supported control surface.
Tascam has not released 64 bit drivers for this device! Can anyone shed any light on this? Will it work only as a control surface and not an audio interface? Is the documentation in error? Anyone have this working with Logic Pro X?
Thanks,
Lyford Rome

Lyford,
Again, in regards to hardware... it is not about LPX compatibility.. It is about compatibility with the OS X version and it's CoreAudio... Once you 'get' that point then everything else makes sense...
Tascam are notorious about leaving owners of "End of Line" products 'high and dry' when OS X is updated... and as you have found... the 1884 is not compatible with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and likely will never be so... because Tascam will not be releasing Mountain Lion drivers for it.. so, it is not something you can use with LPX, which requires Mountain Lion 10.8.4 as a minimum requirement.
As an aside, Apple have acknowledged they make an error in simply using the LP9 Hardware compatibility chart for LPX (as LP9 could be used with earlier OS X versions for which there were drivers for the 1884 for example) and have said they will be issuing an updated version "in the near future"......

01v96i Yamaha...will it work with logic pro X

I bought the new Yamaha 01v96i Mixer but I can't make it works with Logic pro, in the list of available DAW I only find the 01v96 which is not the same and in-fact it does not work with the 01v96i.
Does anyone have an idea on how to set Logic for it or at least does anyone know if the new Logic Pro X has the new 01v96i in the list?

HT5812 Will East West Quantum Leap SILVER work with Logic Pro X ?

I wonder if EWQLSO SILVER edition will work with Logic Pro X. I can't think of any reason that it should NOT but if anyone tested please let me know. The software is quite old..
Thanks

it's worthwhile considering the VSL Special Edition, but check whether anyone else is running it on macbook, my iMac (also 4GB) is very happy with it, and some of the sounds are wonderful.

Do you know if the Digidesign 192 will work with Logic Pro X?

Hi everybody! The question is simple, maube the answer too... Do anyone know if the Digidesign 192 I/O will (completely) work with Logic Pro X or if it needs other devices (such as controllers, internal or external card, etc.)? Thank you all.

Will a Mackie Control Universal V.2.1.2 work with Logic Pro 9?

Will a Mackie Universal Controller V. 1.2.1 work with Logic Pro 9?

Mine does. There was something If I can remember how to do it about after the update selecting the controller to mackie controller. You have the option within the controller itself to be mackie controller or logic controller. If it powers up and says mackie controller, You should be fine. If you have a problem get back to me, Ill look for the link that tells you how to change it.

Will MainStage 3 work with logic pro 9

Hi
Will i be able to use Mainstage 3 with Logic Pro 9. I intend to use it for playing guitar over backing tracks made within Logic Pro 9. Also is latency a problem. I have 2.5GHz quad core I5 MacBook Pro with 4Gig RAM.

You shouldn't have latency problems if you have it set up properly. I can run both programs simultaneously on a 2009 dual core 2.4 MacBook Pro with 6 GB Ram. I would consider upgrading your RAM. You may want to try using the Playback plugin in Mainastage 3 for playing back your mixed down tracks. Then you would only need to run Mainstage by itself live.

The wha wha pedal work well with GarageBand but not working with Logic Pro
Only the red light turning on and off at the screnn of the MBPro and on my Apogee GIO (Guitar Interface Midi) switch button but the effect wha wha won't work.
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10
1   libSystem.B.dylib
0x94c2a267 mach_msg + 68

4   libSystem.B.dylib

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

USB Interface Not Working With Logic Pro 9

Hello,
I've had a Tascam US-1641 for several years now with absolutely zero issues on my old PC. Ever since I upgraded to Mac (early 2011 17 inch Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard) I've had nothing but problems with the US-1641. No matter how many times I uninstall-reinstall the drivers and what USB port I plug it into, whenever I turn on the device and it's connected to my Macbook, it crashes my operating system and it freezes everything I was doing. Logic Pro doesn't load and when it sometimes does (10 minutes later), it immediately crashes when I click anything.
I've tried several tips to fix it and nothing worked. The most popular choice was select the default input/output in Logic to the system audio, then quit Logic, turn on the interface, then restart Logic. No such luck. I have to reboot my machine at least 5 times, uninstall/reinstall the driver and hope it works to use the interface. I thought it was the operating system, so I upgraded to Mountain Lion and installed the new driver for Mountain Lion, after of course deleting the other drivers and removing all previous data, and it is still giving me the same problems.
I don't have the money to afford a replacement model or a different interface from a different company, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what exactly it is that's causing the interface to freeze my operating system and crashing my Mac whenever I try to use it. I am getting extremely frustrated at this and as much as I love OSX and Logic, what good is this piece of software if I can't use it? I need help.
Thank you.

The problem lies with Tascam and their inability to write stable drivers for OS X... and isn't anything to do with Logic Pro ..
As you know, you are not the only person to have had this issue and the reality is, while the 1641 might work fine with Windows, when it comes to OS X Macs.. it's an entirely different story... depending on the version of OS XS you are running.
The one tip I have read, that seemed to fix it for most people.. (Though not all) is as follows;
(Thanks to Paulypaulpaul for this)
-uninstall your tascam driver 2.10
-restart
-install driver 1.03
-restart
-plug in your tascam
-goto where you download your drivers (http://tascam.com/product/us-1641/downloads/), scroll down to the bottom where it says firmware, Download the firmware 1.02 (3rd from top under firmware), install it. your control panal should now read 1.03 for your drivers and 1.02 for your firmware.
-install drivers 2.10
-restart
Follow each of the steps exactly.. including all restarts when indicated..
...and good luck...

Does Emagic's AMT (Active Midi Transmission) work with Logic 8?

Is Logic 8 able to utilize Emagic's AMT (Active Midi Transmission) technology as used by it's Unitor 8 & AMT8 midi interfaces? (Similar to Digidesign's Midi Time-Stamping)

it was shown before( as unitor 8 though) but not anymore.
Ok, so it's not installed, and your computer doesn't know about it.
rescan midi doesn't find anything more,
No it won't. OSX can only communicate with an interface through a driver. No driver, no interface.
read somewhere that AMT 8 is not compatible with logic pro, which is odd.
Absolutely incorrect. And mine is working fine with all Logic versions, thank you very much!
Ok, trash you MIDI driver, which should be at:
/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/ EmagicUSBMIDIDriver.plugin
Also trash
/Users/you*/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.
/Users/you/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist
Reboot. Reinstall the Emagic MIDI drivers from your Logic or GB installer. Reboot.
Check the AMT now shows up in the Audio MIDI Setup utility. If it does, you should be good to go.
Edit: Oh, before you do all that, check that the USB cable hasn't just fallen out..!

Will my Kurzweil PC3 work with Logic Pro 9?

I spent months looking for the right keyboard--what I mean by 'right' is one that I felt sounded best. I ended up with a Kurzweil PC3.
Before I purchase Logic Pro 9, does anyone know if I can use the sounds on board (Kurzweil objects) with Logic Pro 9, instead of using the built-in sounds (objects) in Logic Pro 9? If so, how does one do it? I don't want to use this beautiful keyboard as just a MIDI controller.

My own setup is similar to your discussion. I use a Native Instrument Komplete 6 audio unit as the interface for both midi and audio into and out of Logic Pro 9.1.8. You can set up a Multi-channel instrument in the Logic environment, or use the External Instrument plug-in. In any case, there is a fair learning curve to get this right, but the multi-instrument in the environment is completely capable of controlling the PC3 if you set up the correct Bank change and program change messages. There is one major problem that I am having and that is using PC3 Setup mode. If you set the PC3 into Setup mode and hit some notes, it produces a midi-feedback loop between Logic and the synth, causing the PC3 to go insane if you are connected using the USB port. This is because the midi out from the PC3 is sent thru the Logic track and back out to the PC3 causing a midi feedback loop. In program mode it isn't as bad but does cause a small amount of delay echo. The only way I have got around this so far is to connect using midi cables instead of USB then when recording I disconnect the cable from the Komplete 6 to the PC3 midi in, leaving only the midi cable from the PC3 out to the Komplete for recording to Logic (while monitoring what I am playing via the PC3 audio outputs). Then when I want Logic Pro to drive the PC3, I disconnect the midi in to Komplete and reconnect the midi out to the PC3. Playing the recorded Logic track now drives the PC3 without any feedback. But, there has got to be a better way! Any ideas would be appreciated.
I think this result is because Logic always sends midi notes thru to midi output. Is there some way of preventing this?
