Problem solved for the time being. Today I opened up the project and it's ok. Yesterday I had also quit and restarted Logic, but I guess I needed to reboot as well. Still it would be good to know why this bizarre thing happened if anyone has any ideas about it.

I don't know whether this is a Logic issue, a Kontakt issue, or a problem with a specific virtual instrument. I have four instruments in one multioutput instance of Kontakt - two violins, a harpsichord, and a viola da gamba. I've been doing a lot of detailed midi editing on this piece for several days now. Just now, while listening through for the nth time, the harpsichord (Sonicoture Renaissance collection) started sounding a semitone lower. The midi notes for the harpsichord still have the right names, but they sound a semitone lower. I assume that I must have accidentally touched something to make this happen but I don't know what it could be. I've checked the tuning for the instrument in Kontakt and that hasn't changed. This has never happened before.

That worked - not exactly as described - but it's worked in any case. Thanks

Ok I tried this and got some way but am now stuck Because of the following error message. Should I delete the Application support file?

I just had to replace an SSD in my 5.1 Mac Pro which I had been using for archiving (because the existing SSD was getting too full). I have a separate SSD for sample libraries including the Logic Sound Library. Now Logic can't find the sound libary on the Samples SSD. If I choose Relocate Sound Library in the Logic Menu, the archive SSD, which has never had the Sound Library on, is the only volume selected - Samples Library and all the other volume) are greyed out so I can't select the correct volume. A year ago the HDD I had all my samples on and my Logic library failed, and I had to reinstall everything. But I haven't had any issues since. Does anyone have a solution. NB I tried logging out and signing in again so that I had admin privileges. I'm on Mac OS 10.14.6 and Logic 10.5.1 Kontakt, used within Logic, has had no trouble finding its instruments so far.

Ok I solved the problem myself! - List Editor > Tempo. Delete the faulty tempos.

I prepared a midi file in a notation program and I've imported it into Logic Pro. The tempo throughout the track is fine until the end, where I had programmed a gradual slow down in the notation programme. The tempo at the end is now incorrect. I was able to change it in the Tempo Track to how I wanted it to sound, but when I reopened the project my changes have been overridden and it has reverted to the incorrect tempos again. Is there a way to solve this issue?

For this example I'm not using a control surface. It's a demo project supplied as a midi file with Embertone. I checked in the Midi Automation Tab as you suggest and although there are several (self-explanatory) CC assignments which were explained in the manual, those two are not apparently assigned.

I tried changing everything to Ch 1 (In Kontakt, in Automatiion/Midi, and in the Track Inspector. In Automation all the changes revert to Ch2 immediately. I also checked out the Automation in Kontakt, and it indicates that nothing is assigned except CC#511.

Not as far as I can tell. I've read the manual several times, and I've also checked out every Youtube tutorial I can find (not many) for the instrument. And I have emailed the company (Embertone) 10 days ago and received no reply so far. It seems as if one is supposed to intuit the application of those two controllers.

Hope this is helpful

I have a Kontakt instrument set up (Friedlander violin). They have supplied some demo midi tracks to help users explore the instrument. One demo has two Controllers controlling something, but I can't work out what they are doing. I;ve tried deleting them to see what's missing but I don't notice any obvious differences. I there a way to track which part of the instrument the controller is the controller is assigned to?

Oh ok - yes that's exactly what I intend to do. Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. I will experiment. Also forgive my ignorance, but what is an S.I.?

Thanks for your reply. The issue is raised in this tutorial at 4:08. Really it's not a Dorico issue as such, but a general one about importing a midi file from a notation program into a DAW.
