The microKONTROL is a multi-input device and there aren't much of that type on the market. If you just don't like the tiny keys, there is the KONTROL 49 which is basicly the same but bigger. I think the best controller for Logic is still the Mackie. But it costs a lot more. How can we interpret "better controller"? Could you tell what you expect and what disturbes your friendship with the microKONTROL? ___ Peter Ostry

It will not support third party software and save only in the upcoming AE (Apple Entertainment) format. There will be no XS Key, the available features depend directly on your purchases via the iTunes shop. Apple cares about your rights. Copy protection will be integrated in every song you compose. The program adds a unique digital watermark and nobody can copy your song. You can't either so you are perfectly save. AppleLoops will see a major overhaul. They will no longer adopt to the song key and tempo but rather set your song according to the loops which lets them sound much more authentic. Video gets synchronized either. Exchanging loops will automatically re-order the video sequences to speed up the cutting process. The note editors get dropped and will be replaced by a new tool based on musical phrases. There will be a selection of all important music styles interpreted by the best players of the world, ready to give your song the final touch. There will be no MIDI, we know that already. And of course no environment and cryptic event lists. A new built-in sensor will automatically connect to hardware and transform and automatically map it's parameters to the instruments in your arrangement. The big manufacturers are already developing devices to support that system. Orchestral composers will be very pleased. Since many instruments are more or less identical you just choose the size of the orchestra. Sonic details are of course maintained. It needs just one click to put a virtual wooden box around a harp and turn it into a piano - like in the real world. And Apple acquired VSL. All samples got modified to support Ultrabeat. Ultrabeat itself will replace the arrange window. Good news for bass players: you can stay at home. That isn't really an instrument and the fifty notes you play per hour can easily be generated by the application. ___ Peter Ostry

Hey guys, Quick question about processing power in Logic Pro 7 : I use alot of software instruments / plugins and I'm trying to decide whether to buy a DUAL 1.6 ghz G4 (2gb max Ram), or a SINGLE 1.6 ghz G5 (4+gb RAM). They're about the same cost,& I understand logic is built for dual processors, but I wonder if the extra ram (and the fact that it's a G5) would be better? Any experience / suggestions would be helpful. Thanks! -Scott Logic Pro 7/ mac G4 733mhz/ osX 10.3.8

I typically use my Triton Rack in MultiMode. Suppose I want to control an editable program parameter such as Filter Frequency with a fader set to transmit system exclusive messages. The simplest way to do is to expose the fader's SysEx event list, click on the "Midi In" button and then alter the Filter Frequency parameter from the Triton's menu system. That's fine. Unfortunately, the Triton menu system does not allow access to program parameters when in MultiMode. One must first switch to "Program Mode" and then activate that mode's menu system. I hope you see where this is going... It's extremely counter-productive to switch Triton modes while working. Let's say there are multiple tracks in play, and they collectively trigger several different MIDI channels on the Triton operating in MultiMode. Suppose I want to define a SysEx fader for a sound's parameter currently assigned to MIDI channel 3. In this scenario I'm not interested in loading a full-fledged Triton environment; I'm only interested in a single SysEx fader. After I create the fader, I'm forced to switch out of MultiMode into Program Mode. Naturally, this wreaks havoc on playback. The track in question is communicating on the port's channel 3. Now, one option is to change it two channel one in the multi-instrument options, which isn't such a good idea as any unintended alterations (eg, mistaken program change) will affect all other tracks using that multi-instrument on that MIDI channel. Okay, so I move on over to the Triton Rack and change its base MIDI channel to 3. Argh... My intent is to simply audition the parameter control. Basically, I'd like to loop a few measures, and play around with the SysEx fader in real time, including reassigning which parameter I wish to control and affecting these changes in real time. As it stands the Triton's menu limitation truly interrupts the creative work flow. My question follows. I'd like to avoid digging into the Triton's MIDI implementation for the SysEx message that encompasses the Filter Frequency parameter. Does anyone have a viable solution? I don't mean to single out the Triton, as the problems occurs with any synth functioning in MultiMode not having a very navigable menu system. Thanks for your help. Cheers...

This was right after it came out, version 1.01. Seemed to work fine, you have to jump through the usual Logic hoops to get multichannel output but as I recall, it was stable and I never heard back from them about problems. The stock kit it shipped with sounded pretty good and looked to be a good deal for under $200usd. HW

Hi, Can someone please explain to me step by step how to use the Match Eq? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! CJ

I posted this message on the Apple newsgroup, and received some good suggestions, but still have no success. I have old files, done on Logic using DAE/DTDM/ESB, and want to open them on the Core system I now have. The problem is that I can't see presets I used on my plugs (Atmosphere, Stormdrum, etc.) because they are now "crossed" out and when I change the "instrument" input from DAE to CoreAudio a new fader opens and the plug-in is then blank. All I want to do is open the plug to see what presets I previously used. Is there any way to discover which presets I used on any particular plug-in I used on a DAE track when opened on a Core system. I no longer have access to the DAE system. I have tried deleting all the DAE objects, then saving and reloading the file in hopes that Logic would ask me if I want to open the file in CoreAudio. All of the tracks I'm concerned with are DTDM Instrument tracks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cobb

I no > longer have access to the DAE system. So, I assume you still have the plugins in question? Not that I'd have much of a hope, because I'm sure Apple messed something up (just what happened when they abandoned VST and ASIO support), but you could try the following: - Open "Audio Configuration" (Audio menu). - Under "Device", select Direct TDM (or DAE, whatever it was before). - Select "Edit > Copy". - Select "CoreAudio" under "Device". - Select "Edit > Paste". In case you're lucky, your plugins will be placed properly, with their settings and all. Regards Sascha

Hi, A strange thing appears when bouncing a file containing logic-plugins: When I start bouncing from the spot where the plugins come in they are processed perfectly in the bounce. Also when I playback the file, everything is ok. But when I try to bounce the whole piece, the plugins, which are at the very end of it, are not played back at all. Does anyone of you have a solution to this? thanks, Miranda

When I read your post I looked at the date to see from what year it was because you did not mention the Intel CPU :) I would go for an Intel Mac! Intel Macs are way faster as PPC....

You could try to move your song end a bit to the right or the cycle longer if you use that for bouncing. But more likely - is there probably some automation before that position which has a chance to suppress the sound? Volume, muting, disabling, parameter change? Not necessarily on that chanel but maybe a send to it or something like that.

Thanks! This in fact was the problem: a quick change in the volume automation of another track, just before the track with the plugins started. Miranda

hello.. weird ??? here.. I am a legit owner of Logic and have been using it on OSX for quite a while.. Recently with the ability to run XP on my mac I have wanted to run logic on the PC side because of the many plugins that are available on the PC side.. So my question is, since I have a legit copy with dongle and all, will i be able to install the pc version ( If I can get a hold of the installer that it ) since its an older version? Thanks in advance.. J

Whenever I double click on an audio track in the arrange window it goes to some kind of track mixer that includes midi tracks but doesn't include buses and inputs and stuff that are in the audio mixer when I go in there. Is there a way of making the audio mixer open up whenever I double click an audio track in the arrange window? cheers b

I get the message "No Audio Configuration found for CoreAudio." I have even tried building some CoreAudio tracks (so there would be tracks to copy to), but I got the same message. I'm getting the feeling that this isn't possible. Thanks, Cobb

Yeah, I tried out an intel mac mini, but alot of my 3rd party software wouldn't work w/ it. Also the 2 computers I'm looking at ARE used, but both have alot more power than my current 733mhz G4. I guess I was just wondering if it's the G5 I want w/ all that RAM, or if the dual G4 would provide more consistant power for softsynths ect... Thanks! -scott

It allows you to view (or not view) certain classes of tracks, like MIDI, Audio, Audio Instrument, Busses etc...

In either case, it's a mismatch between the DAE and CoreAudio settings, once you get it sorted out Sascha's copy/paste solution should work (at least, it does for me.)
