Great, you're welcome! J.

Hi Sancho, In my screenshot I patched it through the keyboard object only because that object is there by default, but you don't have to do it that way if you don't want to. The important thing is to patch a port (either the Sum or a specific device's port) to the Tempo fader. At that point you will already be able to control the project's tempo either by manually adjusting the slider, or by sending a MIDI message you've configured in the Tempo fader's input parameters in the inspector (as shown in my screenshot). Finally, if you want to record the tempo changes, you need to patch a cable from the Tempo fader to the Sequencer Input object. If you need more information about how things work in the MIDI Environment, it is documented in the Logic Pro manual, but if you have any specific questions, you can also ask here. Overview of the Environment in Logic Pro for Mac J.

Hi Sancho, Could you please be specific about which part of what I explained above you do not understand? With the setup shown in my screenshot, any MIDI device sending CC 14 would control the Tempo fader. If you wanted a specific MIDI controller controlling the Tempo fader, then you would need to patch a cable from that controller's input port (in the Physical Input object) to the tempo fader, while leaving the Sum port connection as it is. J.

Hi @Meowatthesun, Set the Mic Mode to Standard in your menu bar: J.

The downside of notes not being recorded transposed can be worked around with the famous "Record MIDI To Track Here" feature 😅 Not only during playback, also on live incoming notes from an external source. Another slight downside with Scripter in this context is that due to the fact it is a plugin, it won't affect incoming notes globally, only notes on the track where Scripter is present, so you'll have to place it on every track where you want that functionality. Personally, I still prefer it to the Environment for this. It's also easier to implement an "All Notes Off" functionality to avoid hanging notes when switching octaves while notes are being held down. J.

Hi @Jose Gonzalez, Make sure the "Mic Mode" (ugly orange mic icon in the menu bar) is set to "Standard" for Logic Pro: Also, make sure Logic Pro has access to the "Microphone" in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. J.

Hi @Lakshya Biyani, If you're on macOS Sonoma, make sure the "Mic Mode" (ugly orange mic icon in the menu bar) is set to "Standard" for Logic Pro: Also, make sure Logic Pro has access to the "Microphone" in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. J.

Glad to hear I somehow saved you! 😅 Cheers, J.

In other words, Sancho, you can set it up similar to the following in the MIDI Environment: By patching the Tempo fader somewhere after the Physical Input object, you can specify which CC you want to use to set its values (no need for CMD + L in this case). In the screenshot above you see I've chosen CC 14. If your controller allows so set a specific range of values for the CCs sent by its knobs, you could set it to a range of 50 to 100 and this will restrict the values set by the Tempo fader to your desired 100 to 150 BPM range. Furthermore, if you want to record tempo changes, make sure you patch a cable between the Tempo fader and the Sequencer Input object. J.

I have a Hammerspoon script I created a while ago that can easily be adapted to switching between input devices in Logic. Keep in mind that setting an input device directly within Logic (without closing/reopening Logic) will require GUI scripting. In other words, you’ll see the Settings window open/close and input device menu options chosen. This will all happen quickly enough to not be annoying, but still, not as nice as scripting without GUI interactions. J.

No problem! J.

Hammerspoon is free, but it requires you write a bit of code (Lua, and maybe a bit of AppleScript). J.

Yes, you can achieve that with the Playback plug-in and you can use any MIDI controller you like with MainStage. J.

Logic’s own virtual MIDI ports don’t loop back, so it necessarily has to be IAC in that case. J.
