You can synch midi to audio using the locators and tempo functions in the sample window. See here if this is what you mean: http://www.logicuser.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2638&highlight=

Well unfortunately, it happens to be my Apogee Trak2 mlan FW card. Can't do without that. I do have it isolated into an OWC PCI card which I was told would allow the other devices to work up to speed. JP

anyone know if it's possible to use a kick drum pad equipped with internal trigger, plugged into the sustain pedel input of a m-audio keystation,to play kick drum on logic's ultrabeat. if so please explain how thanks

> ah!! thank you!! Apple has been hiding this links from > logic6 users so that they can make them upgrade to pro > 7! To counterbalance the conspiracy theories, keep in mind that Apple released the last Logic 6 update after releasing Logic 7, with the sole purpose of enabling Logic 6 users to load Logic 7 songs. :o) Maurits.

I'm always manipulating the tempo. What I usually do is add the "tempo" global track to the arrange window, make it nice and big, and then simply draw the tempo as a graph. Naturally I listen with each change to see if I've gotten the "feel" right. Logic also has a feature wherein you can "conduct" the tempo by tapping a button, but I've never been all that happy with the results. David

This file holds data about file positions etc., so destroying it (or removing it) shouldn't have any devastating effects. You may need to go to the project manager window and get it to re-scan your hard drives (window menu) Functions>scan. The downside is that this can take some time for larger systems. Although it does run as a 'background task' ie you can do other things in logic while its doing this, on my PB it makes tracking impossible! maybe do it before you leave the studio tonight. > By the way, did it help that I reported that the program appeared to have started completely > before the error appeared ... i.e. did that make you think of the project manager? Yes! The first time i saw this problem was only a few days ago, and at first i was somewhat confused. Normally if logic (on startup) is going to crash it'll do it on either 'starting core audio' or when it loads preferences, ie when its showing its splash screen. Mike

Yep, in the key commands menu there is 'Stop and Go To Last Play Position' you will have to assign this to a seperate key. If you don't already know, there is a search dialogue in the top left of the menu, start typing something in and it will filter the non-matching entries, this is should be very handy for you! > > - Is there any way you can set the audiofiles you record to automatically > take the name of the track??

How do I do it. I ahve been getting some things of the dvd that comes with Computer Music magazine, ut can't seem to work out how to make them appear. Probably a real amatuer question but any thoughts please?

You can use a wrapper from FXpansion that wraps vst's as au. Works fine. The vst plug's need to be for OS X though. / chris bell

Midi data... not my strongest point. I observe that if I set up a transformer to catch note events (= note), the value that's captured is the note's velocity. How can I catch a note's pitch in some numerical form? What I want to do is catch the pitch value and then have the transformer output relatively scaled fader automation (IE - high notes will spit out a big value, low notes a little one) I'm fine with getting fader events out of the transformer and cabling them into the target, which happens to be the EFM1's Carrier Harmonic on another track. I just don't know how to catch/filter pitch values of notes going into it in the first place. Or, please let me know if I've overlooked some vastly easier method of doing the same thing :)

I am looking to purchase a Vocoder or voice fx plugin for Logic, and I was wondering if anyone would suggest a few that works well for them. I use MAC & PC, so please let me know the platform you are on. The types of effects I am trying to get are similar to the vocal effects you hear on Cher’s song Do you Believe, and many of BT’s songs. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Chaz

Thanks guys! I was hoping the backwards function would come up in the editor. As for the Expander, I should have mentioned that I'm using Logic Express. So there is not one in the Dynamic plug-in menu. It sounds like I might just have to try getting rid of mic noise with a combination of eq and a noise gate. Thanks,

Can't you tell the Keystation to send the note? If it is a Pro 88 you can. Don't know the other models. ___ Peter Ostry

That doesn't follow your playing expression but can for example output velo 30 for the deepest tone and velo 100 for the highest. The values between accordingly. If you want to do that: Set the status of the upper row to "Notes". Then click on the rightmost of the three black vertical lines until it leads diagonally from the upper pitch field to the lower velocity field. That transforms pitch to velocity but would output between zero and 127. Select "Scale" from the velocity menu and adjust the lower and upper value as you like. > I'm fine with getting fader events out of the transformer and > cabling them into the target, > which happens to be the EFM1's Carrier Harmonic on another track. I > just don't know how to > catch/filter pitch values of notes going into it in the first place. You don't need a numerical value. If you set the status of the condition to "Note" then the transformer shows you the pitch as note names. All mathematical operators work as if there were numerical values. > Or, please let me know if I've overlooked some vastly easier method > of doing the same > thing :) So far I know only the EXS has such a function. The "Key Scale" parameter allows that. Or your keyboard, perhaps. ___ Peter Ostry

While we're on this topic, I wish the pitch corrector in Logic could follow a melody that is input via MIDI. Would I be correct in assuming there are third-party plug-ins (autotune?) that can do this? Thanks... David

Hi there.. Can any one tell me step-by-step how to link the ES1 to either an Audio Channel or an EXS24 with a sample playing. Basically I've got a 1 bar LFO sound which I want to award midi notation to. I can't seem to get the ES1 to play any of the notes which I have side chained. The EXT is on, second oscillator is selected (sub) ..Is there something extra I have to do in the Side Chain before it will work? I have selected 'Track 1' to represent what I guess is Audio Track 1.. Zav

Thanks for the prompt response, I'll check it out. When I get things sorted out I'll let you know how it goes.Thanks again Max

Replace the PSU sounds promising. THank you for your reply. Take care, Max

Well FWIW I have an early Dual 2 gig G5 and I am experiencing the same bug that you are talking about.. From what you're saying I SHOULD be able to make it work on my chipset. No?

http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars Here's an excerpt: "Basically the rumor is this: There will be no Logic 8. The successor to Logic 7 will have a new name. The unnamed application will be 10.5 only and will work with a new line of touch sensitive Apple displays. Also, it will be an OMG PROTOOLS KILLER!@!!" Ok, it's not much, but it's a curious tidbit. d

Hi, I have been using a Korg Microkontrol with logic for a while, and up to this point have had no major issues. However, lately when recording or just playing, the pitch goes haywire and detunes as if I were messing with the joystick. Is this possibly a problem with the keyboard, which was refurbished, or a setting in logic that I have overlooked? I would appreciate any help....thanks oh yeah also..I want to get a better controller anyways, does anyone have any recomendations? Thanks, Peter

I think this is drawing a long bow from a rumour on Apple Insider about some patents issued in Apple's name via Gerhard Lengeling. Don't hold your breath. Cheers Clive Young
