OK I admit it ... I confess that I don't understand MIDI ... and despite attempts to sit down with the manual and conquer the unknown, I fail ... I know some of you chaps are MIDI experts and I admire your resiliance for getting to grips with this stuff. I now pay the price. I don't know what has happened but my midi is all messed up. If I try to play the Motif keyboard, it now carries out commands that my QWERTY keyboard should do, like some notes will play the sound loaded in my logic song and then others will start changing the screen sets. Also my US2400 console plays the sound set up in the logic song rather than being a mixer. I have tried resetting the Motif back to factory settings successfully, but this has not cured the problem, I also reloaded the driver for the Motu Express 128, and unplugged and plugged back in the midi cables, but much more than that I do not know ... Can anyone help, please? Thanks in advance Richard =)

Hi Richard, I get this sometimes with my PB if i change around my midi/usb devices. Particularly as in the studio i have a Mackie control and out and about a Korg Microcontrol. This is exacerbated as the mackie (in the studio) uses a Motu Fastlane USB and the Korg uses its own usb driver. To solve this problem you need to trash your control surfaces prefs ('harddisk'>Users>'yourusername'>Library>Preferences>Logic> ;'com.apple.logic.pro.cs') the problem does return after a while though. The only benefit to this problem is that, as the mackie sends pitch-bend data as you move a fader, you can get great 'clangers' style synth effects if logic screws up and sends the mackie data directly to synths ;-) Mike

Thanks. Have a beer on me =) Richard =)
