Hi Johnny, Sounds like a good plan 👍 Yes, the Garageband content is considered part of the Logic Library as Logic uses that as well. You mean you may want to open those old Garageband projects with Logic? Is that's the case, if anything's that's required to play those projects back in Logic, I suppose Logic will let you know you are missing content. I frankly have not tested such a scenario, but I doubt it would jeopardise anything. If content required for playing back the projects is missing, Logic will normally let you know. Sure, why not? 🙂 J.

Hi X-parrot, Have a look at this post: With that in mind, what kind of Mac do you have? J.

Hi @Pokemon2013, Great, you're welcome! Interesting, I really don't see how placing those files in that location could cause such a side effect, as I/O Labels are stored in the Logic preferences file these days 🤔 Cheers, J.

Hi Johnny, Since you reformatted your computer, the file (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.musicapps.InstallerHelperTool.plist) that keeps an encrypted reference to the location where you relocated your Sound Library to is now gone. However, as Logic scans all available drives for Sound Library content (which will always be in "Logic" and "Garageband" folders under /Library/Application Support in whichever drive the Sound Library was relocated to), this is how it is able to tell that you currently have Sound Library content in that "Logic Library" drive of yours. So, if you want Logic to reuse the Sound Library content you already had relocated to your "Logic Library" drive, you'll have to do the following: Quit Logic Go to your "Logic Library" drive, locate the "Library" folder that will be at the root of the drive, and rename it to something different (for example "_Library"). Launch Logic and go to Logic Pro > Sound Library > Relocate Sound Library... You should now see your "Logic Library" drive a selectable drive to relocate the Sound Library to. Click Relocate Once it's done relocating whichever content you currently have on your system drive (assuming you did not download everything to your system drive yet), quit Logic. Go to your "Logic Library" drive and trash the "Library" folder that resulted from the relocation you just performed, then rename the "_Library" folder back to "Library" Next time you launch Logic, it should now use the Sound Library content you where using before you reformatted. You can verify this by going to Relocate Sound Library... where you should see your "Logic Library" drive as being the "Current Sound Library files location". J.

Hi @salvadorfrs5, There's the Set Left Locator numerically... and Set Right Locator numerically... commands. The three dots mean a dialog will pop up where you can enter absolute positions (bar, beat, division, tick) numerically to set either locator position. These commands have no default key assignments, so you have to choose with which keys to call them. Search for them in the Key Commands window (Logic Pro menu > Key Commands > Edit Assignments.... or Option + K). J.

Try these: Elektronauts Modwiggler J.

No problem. No, the prefs files do not contain anything about plugin menu customization, that's stored in other files: ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Databases/Tags/ You can open the com.apple.logic10.plist prefs file and read its contents in various ways (for free): BBEdit (data displayed as XML) Visual Studio Code (similar to BBEdit, but requires additional extension to decode binary .plist files like Logic's) Xcode (a bit overkill to install just for this, but user-friendly, display of data as a table) There are also some commercial apps out there for this. J.

Hi @Pokemon2013, OK cool, I sent them via private message. Hopefully you had already installed all the content like I did and you're using the latest version of Logic as I am (10.8.1)? J.

No, I did not say anything about "smooth variation of tempo" 🙂 . J.

Hi @fleezle, Those parameters are in Alchemy's Perform section: You can read all about them in the Logic Pro's Instruments manual, in the chapter on Alchemy under “Alchemy perform control modulators in Logic Pro”. J.

Hi fleezle, Since you're using MainStage and not Logic, I'll move this topic to the MainStage forum. I'm not sure I understand? Are you saying that being able to control Alchemy's Sequencer's duration parameter (or "Rate" as per the name seen in the GUI) via MIDI is not what you need? 🤔 J.

Hi @fleezle, This you can do already. The Alchemy parameter "Seq1Dur" is available via Smart Controls as a "Non-automatable" parameter that you can control via External MIDI assignment: J.

Hi @Pokemon2013, If you like, I could share those files from my system? J.

There's a separate prefs file where controller assignments are stored: com.apple.logic.pro.cs. Trashing the main prefs file (com.apple.logic10.plist) will reset Logic's settings (formerly-known as preferences) but leave your controller assignments untouched as long as you don't delete the other file. J.

Hi Chris, I had the same idea when I read your post, but there's only MIDI input ports in the standalone Pigments app? Anyway, with the Plogue Bidule in AU MIDI FX format it works fine (tested with the VST Pigments): J. PS: I did not record anything, just sent the MIDI from the Pigments sequencer to RetroSynth. To actually record the output, you'd need External Instrument Plugin + IAC.
