Hello , my name is Todd and I humbly approach this group. I've just started using vslogic tonight. After three days of trying I have finally got the Logic program to recognize my VS1680. It was someone at Emagic tec support who helped me (thanks again Andy). My main propose for getting the Logic software is to use as a sequencer. Specifically I am sequencing drums (Roland TD-7). All my machines are talking, I am able to record MIDI events but I can't figure out how to transmit them back so that they play the TD-7. My system is Roland VS1680/Logic running on an iMac/TD-7 kit and things are connected through a Roland UM-2 USB MIDI interface. Thanks for any help at all. Sincerely, Todd Greenwood

Hello.... My setup is the same, pretty close...a vs 880ex and logic for midi with a roland xp-30 and a yamaha dtx drum module....the key lies in the interface it seems..mine is a motu micro express with a serial port...the interface is connected to the printer com port on the pc, and once the drivers were loaded, Ihave never had a problem..one thing I noticed is the interface must be swithched on before the computer is booted though..... Are you using the vs logic that came with the vs 1680? I never even loaded mine, I always have used platinum 4.1.1...like I said, once the drivers were loaded the midi in/out ports immediately recognized all the devices.....midi port 1- vs studio midi port 2-roland xp-30 midi port 3-yamaha dtx Marica Greenwood wrote: > Hello , my name is Todd and I humbly approach this group.

Hello again.... As a fellow vs studio owner, I would like to help if I can...and the only help I can offer is this suggestion....do you know whether your interface drivers are current??......if your roland module isnt sending and receiving properly it may be something in the module....had the same problem with the yamaha, and went back to factory default, cracked the manual, started all over and found the problem..... I've used a few different sequencers and by far, Logic was the most cooperative in terms of linking all midi devices together....the Mtc works incredibly with the vs, never a problem..... I'm looking at the vs 1880 now.....however, through other forums I have heard knocks against the supplied vs logic...happy with your 1680??? Lee Kanne captain@...

never a problem..... > > I'm looking at the vs 1880 now.....however, through other forums I > have heard knocks against the supplied vs logic...happy with your 1680??? > > Lee Kanne I'm quite happy with the 1680. I've been on it for two years now and I think I've gotten the Roland tec support pretty much trained up. But sereiously, it works fine and having everything in one box like that is really nice. For real serious stuff the preamps need a little help from a high quaility external mixer but once you get past that it works fine. The mastering software that came out for it last spring has helped me a lot. With it I can get my mixes as loud and flush as any commercial CDs out there. But I'm always looking for something better. I'm just getting into this Logic stuff now. How do you like Logic?? Hows it compare to the VS format??? Sincerely, Todd Greenwood

Hello...hello again.... Logic Platinum with the vs studio is a very versatile setup....I agree the preamps need work and right now the pre's on the mackie vlz mixer are working ok for me... The huge advantage to the vs studios is you already have a stable audio recording platform....so you spend more time making music and less time configuring your system and getting it stable...there is no doubt however that the logic DAW is a very powerful tool... I thought you said you had an iMac and the big question for me with that computer right now would be the audio interface...as we speak I heard there are some new devices on the market to address that issue... The are limitless possibilities with the vs studio and logic/midi sequencing set-up...I am very reluctant to jump into the audio side of Logic...I would say though if you have the patience and the time go for it....otherwise stick with the 1680 and the logic sequencer and you'll spend a lot more time making music... the sequencing software is deep....I've tried em all and this is the deepest....upside is it never ceases to amaze me the possibilites that exist...downside is I've spent hours working the software when I could have been making music.....
