The reason your .lso files will not display with the Logic icon on your mac desktop is because the files are PC format and do not have the embedded info headers (fork or whatever) that a normal mac file has which helps the OS identify what *file type* it is. (On the PC, the .xxx is what identifies the file type. Recognition of the three letter file extension is a feature of many mac apps (Adobe, Microsoft, Quark for example - you will still get the "with what app do you want to open this...kinda thang" but it will guess correctly), but apparently not with Logic. Thankfully, the previous poster has provided some handy dandy scripts to solve your problems in a batch fashion. Regardless, you should at the very least, launch Logic *first* - then, use file-open. You should be able to see and open your .lso's. Save-as to a new file name (I would be wary to overwrite) and your newly save files will have mac icons which you now can double click to open. ~Poor Lizard

Hi, I'm having problems arming tracks on my Fostex D-160 from Logic using MMC. The basic MMC works fine but I've had no luck with arming the tracks. The manual isn't exactly helpful either...I know I have to create an instrument with the tape icon (#305) or use the MMC record buttons environment object...I have tried both but can't seem to get it to work. The manual just says "You only need to create one instrument with the tape object, you can then assign this to as many tracks as you need for you tape machine..." - Fair enough, but how do you assign them? Any help gratefully received, I've just about given up on the idea now!! Cheers Ian

Even with the batch processing it takes a certain amount of work - ie replace illegal characters in one pass, then replace directories as needed. You also have to make sure that that sample file directories land in the right place, or the EXS will take forever to search whenever you want to invoke a certain bank. Personally, I don't expect to re-visit this issue again, now that CDXtract 4 has parity on both platforms. But the original poster raised a valid concern: even with batch processing the task of moving EXS from pc to mac would be a potentially large task. A step by step guide, or better, an elegant solution (some kind of utility?) would be a good idea for Emagic to consider - especially if they are trying to make cross-grading as attractive and painless as possible..

hello all... first off, this may be a bit off center, as im not sure it is 100% logic related. if need be, feel free to email me off the list. last nite, i was working on a song. i went to bed, didnt shut anything down, just left it up to work on this morning when i got up. when i got up this morning, i had a strange loss of sound in everything EXCEPT logic. my windows media player, winamp, acid, sound forge, etc, nothing puts out any sound. i can try to play a loop in sound forge and nothing, however if i import it as an audio file to logic it plays fine. ive gotten some strange error messages as well, and even gotten a few "error syncing midi" messages from logic too, but when i would close and reopen it would be fine (in logic). i scanned for viruses, re-assigned the outs on my soundcard to make sure they were correct, etc. im quite nervous about this, to be honest. my OS consists of winXP, 1.6ghz chip, 512 megs of ram and an echo mia soundcard. i just purchased this machine about 6 months ago for the specific purpose of running audio only apps. any help would be enormously appreciated. its getting to the point where i am scared i may have to format or something drastic like that. thank you... corey allison corey@...

I just converted to Win XP, Logic works fine except it takes for ever or about half a minute anyway when I click "record" till the recording starts. Someone else had this problem? And also: Has there been any news when it comes to using versions after 5.1.3 which seems to be the last version where I can open the FX-plugins? Hoping for help Bruno

Has anybody figured out a way to configure any logic virtual instruments to play micro-tonal, non-chromatic scales (especially "just tuning")? I guess it is possible to individually tune each key on the EXS, but rather time consuming. Can anybody recommend a website dedicated to this subject? thanks, alex paulick

I saw what homburg wrote. I have to disagree with his theory of forever on conversion :-). Well it would take forever doing it by hand if you had a lot of files, but a simple AppleScript will suffice or even a couple of C++ files I've got would do the trick together with a shell script. Contact me privately (I have one already that does something similar). Hmm. You can certainly mount the volume of a shared disk (from a network computer) - but if this is for real-time stuff I don't know how that will go (i.e., how these exs libraries are utilised in Logic). But you can certainly try. I'm on 10.1.5 (so this may be a little simpler in 10.2) but... From GUI: Jump into Sherlock and hit the Apple Icon (to search the Apple Knowledge-base). Type in "Mac OS X Connect to SMB" or something similar (Note: you'll need to log into the knowledge base by creating an account first if you want to view the results of a sherlock find in your browser. So go to http://www.apple.com/support/ and click KnowledgBase or MySupport and set up an account if you haven't already. This account, btw, will be used for Apple online discussions and the store etc). To share your stuff with the outside world.... - Go to System Preferences-->Sharing Turn on sharing, you may want to allow remote logins via terminal and or ftp access (if you want to login from your XP machine for example). From the knowledgbase: -- Follow these steps: 1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock. 2. Choose Connect to Server from the Go menu (see Note 1). 3. In the address field of the Connect to Server dialog, type the URL using this syntax (see Note 3): smb://ServerName/ShareName/ 4. Click Connect. (e.g., smb://192.168.1.2/R/) You will be prompted for the workgroup, user name, and password. In addition to connecting to actual Microsoft Windows computers, you may also use the Connect to Server dialog to connect to a Macintosh that is offering Windows File Sharing. Notes: 1. When you go to the Connect to Server dialog, you may browse by computer name. In Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.1.5, the names of SMB-sharing computers do not appear. In Mac OS X 10.2 or later, the names of SMB computers do appear (see Note 2). However, only the names of computers on your subnet appear. 2. You may not always see the expected user-defined computer name when browsing via SMB. See technical document 107085, "Mac OS X 10.2: Windows (SMB) Computer Name Does Not Appear in Connect to Server Dialog". 3. "ServerName" may be an IP address or DNS name. 4. The name of the "share" (the shared disk, volume, or directory) must be specified. You will not be prompted for it. --- After following those steps you'll have volume R on your Mac Desktop assuming, of course, that you've allowed the volume to be shared from XP. Note: If it doesn't work then you could set up the Mac to synchronise its copy with your XP machine. But that's for another day :-) check out 'man -k smb' for commands relating to smb. with regards, -- Lachlan Deck ldeck@...

where does the folder with the sounds go so i can play them on the es1????

Open up a terminal window and do a man page on 'ln', the linking command. You do this by typing 'man ln' at the command line. This will display information on the 'ln' command and all of the command line options for this command. the option you want to look at is the ' -s' option which creates a symbolic link which is basically an alias. So if you have a harddrive partition mounted at /dev/hda3 and you want to create an alias to /dev/hda3 at /alias_name then you would type in 'ln -s /dev/hda3 /alias_name' at the command line. Another way to do this is just to mount the drive at a mount point of your choice in /etc/fstab, this is the filesystem table and lists the mount points for most ( if not all) logical devices (harddrives, floppys, cdroms,usb storage devices, etc..) Do a 'man fstab' to get more information on the filesystem table. I know this may look complicated but the unix way of computing is extremely powerful, be patient if you first don't understand. Ask questions if you are confused. Benjamin Duke

Yeah, sure, but that requires you to import and re-save for every PC song you might have. The Applescript I uploaded batch-processes all files and folders dropped on it, so that afterwards you can simply double-click the files to launch Logic. A tad more convenient imo than the Import function. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html

I think the only >ways to do it are either to tune the samples individually, or to use >hyperdraw to place very specific pitch-wheel control message. If you want to do monophonic just-tuning by using pitchbend or detune messages, you don't need hyperdraw at all. Just set up an environment patch that generates the right amount of pitchbend/detune for each note entering the patch. Basic idea would be: note enters the patch, and the remainder of 'division by 12' is determined. This yields a number 0-11 (0=C, 1=C#, etc). This number is sent to a transformer set to 'Use Map'. The map then contains 12 entries (0-11) which determine the amount of pitchbend/detune to send. Something like that. The only tricky bit is the division/remainder stuff. You could either make a transformer Map, where each appropriate note-value is translated into the proper numeral in the 0-11 range (requires you to make 128 entries 'by hand', only once). Or you could do something slightly more complicated like divide by 12 (63/12 = 5), then multiply by 12 (5*12`), and then subtract that from the original value (63-60=3). For polyphonic just-tuning, I'm afraid the only way indeed is to assign samples to each and every key and tune them all by hand. The only possible shortcut would be: put all C's in a group, put all C#'s in a group, etc, (12 Groups) and tune each of the groups -- instead of tuning every zone separately. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html

hi again more on my horror story. whenever i try to open up all of my songs except for one or two i am getting a message saying "the system cannot find the file specified. result code = 2" has anyone run across this message? what does it mean =/ im scared im going to have to wipe the entire drive clean.

Anyone here in Australia managed to get their FREE LOGIC instrument and Apple Logic 5 Manual when they went for this PROMO as I haven't received anything from them
