Yamaha DX7 slave sustain pedal won't work in LOGIC 7.

the sustain pedal definately works on the DX7, but it's midi message is not being recognized, I guess? When pressing both keys and the sustain pedal seperately I can see that the MIDI message is definately being sent through my MOTU Traveler interface as evidenced by the MIDI-IN light glowing. How can I sustain the notes that I am playing while recording? Which drop down menus shall I be looking at? How do I find controller number 64 to turn it on if that is infact what I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
brendan

Hi
Some old keyboards use a diferent polarity in the sustain. I'm not sure you can set a diferent sustain polarity at LP. If not, use another sustain pedal, (you'll see it won't work right in you DX7), but you can fix it changing the sustain pedal polarity at you DX7.
Hope it helps you

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

Sustain pedal doesn't work

I'm using an intel macbook, gb3, a yamaha p-60 keyboard, and an M-Audio Midisport Uno USB-Midi connection. I can record from the P-60 into a software instrument track but the sustain pedal has no effect -- I can hear the music with the sustain pedal from the keyboard but the recorded track has the notes without the sustain effect in GB. I'm new to GB -- can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I fixed the problem on my system. I did several things prior to retesting so I don't know which one (or which combination) did the trick. I downloaded and installed a newer driver from the m-audio site, (with garageband off) I deleted all of the garageband files from the preferences folder, I restarted the mac, then restarted garageband (reset the audio input in the garageband preferences)and reconnected the p-60. It then worked.

When will MainStage get the EVB3 sustain pedal fix that's in Logic?

shouldn't there be a fix for this problem in a MainStage release?
right now the behavior is fixed in Logic, but not in MainStage...
that the fix doesn't come out simultaneously for both hosts... plausible, but not at all?
please don't hammer me for wanting a sustain pedal to work in a B3 emulator. It's for live work, and I layer pianos and organs quite effectively... :-)
Weird...

Amp designer and pedal board not working in Logic Pro 8

Hello! I am new to LOGIC PRO 8 and maybe my silly question has a easy answer. When I want to record a guitar or a bass in the audio channel created for it, and want to insert for example a complete rig, the sound won't load and a message will apper saying "pedalboard not available" "amp designer not available" or pedal not available". If I open Mainstage 2 or Garage Band and I play, pedals are working and all amp modulation as well. If I go and look into the application support and plug-in settings folders it seems to me that everything is there. What am I missing or doing wrong? how can I solve the problem and make these enable for recording? THANK YOU FOR HELPING!

PLEASE HELP! LIVE won't work in LOGIC anymore

Hi,
This is my problem:
I happily worked on my MacBook Pro (2.33 GHz Tiger 10.4.11) for a long time, using Ableton LIVE as a ReWire slave to LOGIC and everything worked just fine.
I recently got myself a Mac Pro (2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-core 4 GB RAM) and on which Logic seems to be running fine by itself (as does LIVE), but as soon as I open any of my documents created on my laptop (files that were created in ReWire mode) there seems to be a latency issue, as in some of the tracks don't quite play on time and then when I quit LIVE it crashes and LOGIC crashes a couple of seconds after that too.
This happens also when I open an empty LOGIC file and start LIVE - again empty. A weird thing I noticed is that LIVE doesn't seem to crash when I quit, if I haven't pressed play. Only after playing something either in LOGIC or in LIVE do I get the crashes.
If anyone has got any suggestions for this I'd be SOO grateful - I've been searching the internet and forums all day and can't seem to find any answers for this weird problem ... Could it be something to do with Leopard?
PLEASE HELP!

Rewire won't work with Logic + Reason

I started a project with Logic + Reason and everything was working fine. But then one day it stopped working.
1. It'll work without Rewire (just a mixer in Reason)
2. The Aux channels on the Logic mixer don't indicate any levels.
3. The level indicators on the Hardware Device in Reason aren't indicating any signal
4. Rewire DID work one day after it wasn't working but now it isn't again.
5. I've tried restarting my computer and even changing my audio device to "Built-In Audio"
Why won't rewire work?
Message was edited by: RyConn M.D.

I have been having this same problem. One time Rewire will work and the next try it won't. I found that Logic will not see the Rewire channels when you go to add an Aux channel in the mixer screen. If you see the Rewire channels in this section, then Rewire will work. If not then Rewire will not see Reason and it will not function. It just started happening for me this last week or so. I wonder if Apple made some sort of change that is causing this problem. I never had a problem with Reason before this last week or so. It was always a really solid program interface before this. I am getting frustrated. I have reloaded Reason and Logic with no change. AI deleted the rewire files in the library. It may then function once and then it goes bad again. Can anyone Help Us?

Waves 9 won't work with logic pro x

I downloaded waves v9 but it still won't show up on my Logic Pro. It is a 64 bit polgin

If... you have updated to the latest version of Waves 9
and...
You have correctly installed/activated/validated them using the Waves License Center and the Waves AU Reg Utility (That you must run after installing the updates..) then they work pretty good with Logic. I know.. I use them on a daily basis... No magic... no special tricks...
The Waves plugins themselves still have a few bugs in them which is why Waves keeps updating them..(There have been several updates to Waves 9 since release across all platforms and not just OS X...) but it isn't anything to do with Logic... Its programming bugs in the Waves plugins themselves that cause the remaining issues..
So.. if you cannot get them to work properly, contact Waves support for assistance...

There is little if anything, anyone here.. or at Apple.. that can do to help you.. and to think its a Logic Pro problem... is just misleading yourself and wasting your own time...

Samson Q1U USB Mic won't work in Logic

Hey there,
My Samson Q1U Mic (USB) will not show as an available I/O in Logic.
It is selected in my Audio/Midi Preferences under Utilities, as well as under System Preferences in Sound Input, as well - it works in Garage Band - however, it does not show as an available device in Logic??
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to enable my snowball usb mic using the following procedure. I had logic studio open at the time, but I don't think it is necessary. In fact, you should probably do these steps (including above) before opening logic. By the way, I had never heard the term "aggregate device" before yesterday!
1. Mic was plugged in, powered up, and was working in SYSTEM PREFERENCES/ SOUND/ Input. I highlighted the mic and it was registering sound.
2. Go to UTILITIES/ audio midi setup. After window opens, go to the very top of the screen (menu options for audio midi setup) and click AUDIO which allows you to then open AGGREGATE DEVICE EDITOR.
3.Hit + to add new aggregate device. Select a check by built-in input, built in output, and your mic. Set the clock for built in output, not the mic. Save changes and exit/ close audio midi setup.
4.*Restart the computer.*
5.I left the mic plugged in I think during the restart, but I may have plugged it back in after restart. I again made sure it was working in apple system preferences.
6.Open logic. Select preferences/audio. The AGGREGATE DEVICE should now be available as an input option. Select and save changes.
7.Go back to your project. Your mic should work on an audio track. I didn't have to do anything to the track input selector- it just worked and it has worked consistently even though I have disconnected and reconnected several times!
SUCCESS!!

Not sure why such a great program would not have a simpler option for using a usb mic.

Weird Sustain Pedal issues.

Recently upgraded to Mainstage 2 on Macbook, OSX 10.6.2. At my studio I use a first-generation Roland Fantom as a controller, and at gigs I use an ancient Roland MKB-300. Both are transmitting MIDI via M-Audio Uno USB interface (w/ most recent driver upgrades).
The sustain pedal doesn't work when I'm using the MKB-300 with Mainstage 2, but when I use Fantom, it works. Sustain pedal works fine with either controller in Mainstage 1. Naturally I assumed there was something different in the MIDI controller data being sent from the MKB-300, but I checked them by recording sus pedal controller data from both into Logic and looking at them in the list editor window, and the controller data is exactly the same for both- MIDI ch 1, cont #64, press down=127, release pedal=0.
Again, either keyboard works fine in Mainstage one. And I don't have any trouble with MIDI note on/off data. Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on here?
Thanks,
Mitchell

I figured it out... this is so freaking strange. My Roland MKB-300 controller spits out a controller #123 message anytime all keys are released- that's an "all notes off" controller message that kills anything regardless of sustain pedal. Chalk it up to VERY early MIDI implementation (1986).
My totally ghetto solution was to tape down the highest note on the keyboard so it always thinks something is down. Anyone have any idea how to filter controller #123 messages in Mainstage???

What sustain pedal - exact make, model, type (momentary) is anyone using successfully on their controller? (I'm using m-audio)

what sustain pedal - exact make, model, type (momentary?) is anyone using successfully on their keyboard
? (I'm using m-audio controller)

I took an old Guitar cable, snipped off one plug, connected strand one to a metal plate and strand two to the metal part of a weighted lever. Plug it into the sustain port of my midikeybs. Press the lever onto the metal plate: sustain on. Let go: sustain off.
Even simpler: take a cable with a (mono) plug at on end and the naked two strands (mantel & core) on the other side. If you connect the two strands: sustain! if you disconnect the strands: sustain off.
What I am trying to say is: a sustain pedal is as simple as a doorbel button: on or off. So all that "the maker" can provide is "built quality", but really, any improvised simple momentary contact switch will do. In other words: there's really NO electronics to it, and if it is sold as a MIDI sustain pedal, it 'll work. But a doorbell button connected to jack cable will also work, so make and model (for a pure sustain-only pedal) are irrelevant.

Recording Interfaces that work with Logic Studio

Hey there! I'm pretty much a noob to Logic Studio. I've been using garageband and reason 4 before that. I've had an M-Audio Fast Track that worked alright with Garageband, but it won't work with Logic, at least for me. I did some research and found out that this happened for most people.
So I was wondering, what's a good recording interface that would work well with Logic (which should then work with garageband) that works very well and worth the money that's paid for it?
Specs:
Macbook Pro
version 10.5.2
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks alot.

Welcome to the forum jareddddddd, i do believe the problem your having with the M-Audio is the the drivers for intel, at the moment are Beta drivers.
Beta meaning they are going thought testing and isn't official drivers, therefore it might work or it might not.
As flood123 said the Duet will be much better, compare to low end M-Audio interface, which will sound far better and integrates well with Logic.
Also Fire-Face by R.M.E is a good interface, almost forget to mention Lavry interface which sounds way better than the two already mention that's only my opinion though.
Personally i have found it to be my preferred choice compare to Apogee low end interface that hasn't got the C77 clock work that Apogee flag-ship interface has, such as the Rossette 800 and AD/DA 16 carries.
Try and find a local music store and try out a few interface that is hook-up to L.P. by Fire wire and maybe you'll have a better choice in choosing.

Sustain pedal not working with my MIDI setup

So, I'm using a Yamaha P-140 hooked up with my Macbook Pro using a Midi-USD cable. I'm mostly using it for Logic Pro X and Sibelius, and it works just fine. However when I use the sustain pedal, it's playing an E3 note and it's messing up all the sound adding a lot of reverb.
Now, this isn't a problem when I'm using the piano as it is. It's also not a problem with either Logic or Sibelius, cause when I'm testing it with the "Sound and MIDI Setup" app on Mac, the sustain pedal is recognized as one of the "hammers" on the keyboard.
I have no idea as how to fix this problem, and it's really annoying having to play super legato when I'm recording.
Thanks in advance.
Note: The keyboard have an "AUX Pedal" input and a "Sustain pedal" input.
USB MIDI Cable specs:
(As written on the package)
- Built-in driver
- USB powered and Class Complaint for true plug & play. Just connect to a computer USB socket for automatic installation of the driver.
- 1 in + 1 out MIDI interface; 16 MIDI input channels & 16 MIDI output channels
- LED's indicate power on, MIDI in signal and MIDI out signal.
- Supports Windows XP, Vista and Mac OS X operating systems
Aditional info:
Now, I've seen the event-recording in Logic for when I use the pedal, and it's picking up 2 different signals. The first one is a "Controller" (as it say under "status") with the info "Sustain", the next 2 have the status "Note" each one triggering an E3.
I looked it up and the pedal is a Yamaha FC3 half damper sustain pedal. I'm not an expert when it come to pedals, but I believe a half damper is a pedal with multiple trigger points? Giving you different amounts of sustain depending on how much you're "pressing it".
(Position 2 1 1 19 = pedal release)

Try deleting Logic's preferences... sounds like a control surface issue.
Delete the Logic 10 preferences file AND the shared control surfaces file.
In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this.
If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro.
then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Note: Delete both files, they will be rebuilt the next time Logic runs.

Sustain Pedal not working when recording with software instrument piano

I have an M-Audio sp-2 sustain pedal going into an M-Audio Keystation 88es, which is connected by USB to my mac. When I'm recording and holding down the sustain pedal, the sustain is working properly. However, when I playback what I have recorded, the sustain is gone and it is just the regular piano key notes with no sustain. Does anyone know what the problem here is?

This appears to have been a bug. After restarting the computer the sustain recording is functioning normally now.

Sustain pedal not working in Mainstage only with Kontakt 4 plugin

I can't get Kontakt 4.0.2 to sustain notes when instantiated in Mainstage.
The sustain pedal works fine for Kontakt in stand alone mode, and for the same patch/channel strip in Logic 9, but not when in a channel strip in MainStage.
I have the pedal mapped properly (same channel, same keyboard selected, same channel selected on Kontakt plugin), since all other patches work fine with said sustain pedal in Mainstage... except for the Kontakt samples.
I have tried a different controller with a different sustain pedal (again, properly mapped and channel synchronized- same channel on controller, pedal and Kontakt interface), and the same thing occurs.
I have gone into the "wrench" area of the Kontakt plugin/instrument options/controller/MIDI controller #64(Sustain Pedal) acts as". I have set this to both Pedal + CC, and Pedal w/o CC and restated Mainstage on both occasions.
Neither setting works. Again, the same settings work fine within Logic (i.e. the sustain works). I have the pedal mapped to the right keyboard and to the same MIDI channel in Kontakt, and I can see it respond on the Mainstage interface; in fact, I can play the patch fine; it just doesn't sustain!
An interesting thing is that when I press the pedal, I can see a MIDI message on Mainstage but not in Kontakt.
Have you come across this issue before? Any ideas on what's going on and/or fixes?
Thanks.

You shouldn't have to assign it in Kontakt -- it just works. I would delete that.
A key indicator is that when you press the pedal, the MIDI message does not appear in Kontakt. That tells me your problem is in MainStage -- for some reason MainStage is intercepting that MIDI data. Therefore, the problem's not inside Kontakt's edit mode. It's somewhere in MainStage.
Sorry I can't be of more help but at least that narrows it down.

My reply:
By the way, if you want to instantiate a Kontakt 4 patch within Mainstage, you have to create a keyboard surface in Layout mode, then assign it and map it to the keyboard you want to play that channel strip with in edit mode. If you don't map a sustain pedal object, Mainstage doesn't receive its message; therefore I am confused when you write: "You shouldn't have to assign it in Kontakt -- it just works. I would delete that."
The keyboard is mapped correctly, since I can play the Kontakt patch fine. Both wheel controllers and the sustain pedal are not getting midi data into Kontakt. As I said, everything works fine in Logic with the same set-up; so I agree, it has to be something I am missing within Mainstage...I just don't know what it is!
Has no one else had this issue on this forum?

Personally I don't think that's a solution and may not change a thing. Logic probably recognized the Akai and tried to use a stock Controller Assignment.
It's easy enough to try this without deleting the file I mentioned.
With Logic running, go to the far left Logic Pro menu, go the Preferences> entry down near the bottom is Control Surfaces. You can Bypass, Rebuild or check what is assigned there.
Believe me... this is not time and trouble... had someone more knowledgeable than me about this particular problem answered you, you would've been on your way.
