Electronathan Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm trying to figure out how to disable/hide the GM device from the external instruments menu in the library. Anyone know how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronathan Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Environment->MIDI instruments layer, select the GM object and delete it. Not quite, but I may have uncovered something that will help with what I'm trying to do. By creating an Apple Quicktime object, the GM Device is removed from the library menu for external instruments. If that can stick on my template (after deleting the object), I'm all set... Edit: it doesn't stick to my template. Seems I'd have to tinker with Quicktime, or the OS itself. Edit #2: This is probably a bad idea. If the quicktime synth were actually disabled Logic probably wouldn't know how to handle that. So I imagine anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Environment->MIDI instruments layer, select the GM object and delete it. Not quite Actually yes, quite. What fader8 told you is exactly the way to get rid of the GM instrument in an external MIDI instrument's library, which is what you asked no? Not sure what you're trying to do?

Electronathan Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Everytime I go to create a new external MIDI device (with the "+" button) Logic creates a GM device in the environment. You can delete it, and yes, it will be removed from the library as Fader8 said, but the next time you create a new MIDI track Logic will create a new GM device. What I'm trying to do is to never see the GM device (e.g. you can turn off the IAC ports or whatever other devices are in your Audio/MIDI Setup app) when I create a new MIDI track. I thank the both of you for taking the time to help, but in my attempts at figuring this out I've decided it's really not worth the trouble.

fader8 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, Logic will create a GM device automatically, but only if your template doesn't have any other multi-instruments defined in the environment. Be sure you're saving your templates with the multi's you use and you'll never see the GM device again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
