Hello, let's say I were to set up an aux channel and put on a plugin. And let's say I want to use this little rig as a standalone effect for a completely different rig like a mixing board,with logic just sitting here doing nothing but receiving and processing sound via this aux. So I make the aux channel inputs be an analog input via my interface and the same for the aux outputs. Then I make my physical connections to board. What is the inherent latency of this logic aux channel? Obviously we have some samples of delay from the interface converters themselves, but is that it? Lastly, if I use delay compensation in logic, does this make the plugin latency zero if I'm not "running" logic? I ask this because how I understand delay compensation to work is that it depends on time line reference point as its rolling. But maybe I'm wrong?

I got it working, and it's awesome. I'm using it with a software step sequencer that doesn't have note length adjust. But the funny thing is that the recorded midi notes turn out to be 480 ticks in length no matter what. Otherwise, it's sounding exactly correct during the actual recording process, which is the most important thing. And it's a relatively simple fix, you just gotta select all those notes and transform them to same length as set in this environment plugin contraption. Anyone anything that would cause this auto 480 ticks? It's a quarter note in length, fyi. I don't have any quantize functions turned on that i know of.

well, it's a little complicated.. the converter thing i have is the Qunexus… it has a controller/keyboard on it with it's "three" midi ports shown in the clicks and ports, AND it has a bunch of CV connections. so, i'm using it as my output port to my CV synth. i'm also using its (qunexus') keyboard as my midi input controller/keyboard. so… the three ports in the clicks and ports are inputs, and i'm wondering if there is access in logic anywhere to add transformers to a qunexus OUT port. there also happen to be three out ports on the qunexus. #3 is the one i have to use. so i'm looking to modify/transform output port 3 on the Qunexus in the manner previously discussed.

Ok thanks, you have been so helpful! I appreciate that. With this transformer info I think I can figure something out. One question though.. In Clicks and Ports, or elsewhere in Logic, is it possible to patch these tranformers onto a specific output port rather than input port(s)? If I can do that, then when I create the solution I can leave it in place to only affect the midi-cv converter (port) and not all of my midi received in logic.

ok i've got that setup. indeed it just eliminates all note off messages, so the last played note gets hung infinitely. obviously it works to eliminate the previous problem but i now have to address how i'm going to stop the music!

ok, going to try this now. will have results in a few minutes. but i want to ask...will this simply eliminate any note off messages, leaving all notes hanging?

that's incredibly helpful! thanks so much... it's almost there… i have it all set up and i'm monitoring the sum of both signals now hitting the sequencer, and i can see all of the messages coming in a their desired order. but the 123 controller isn't preventing the note off message from coming through still… here's a screen shot after having just played the note C, held it while hitting D, then letting go of C (which causes D to stop sounding too), and finally letting go of D (which had no audible effect since it's already OFF).

I've got a specific need that I'm hoping someone can assist me with investigating... I need to use the midi transformer object to modify a midi input signal as such... Every time a NOTE ON is played/received, first a NOTE OFF is sent to ALL notes, and then the note is played with its respective NOTE ON. Makes sense? Essentially,I'm playing a vintage monophonic synth via midi-to-cv converter but my midi-cv converter has a coding design flaw (already confirmed w the manufacturer directly) and the unit gets confused when there is a note being hung onto (with ones hand) before a new note is pressed. The new note gets cut off by the previous note's release when in fact it is released. It leads to a lot of terribly stunted notes when trying to play a legato passage. So I need to have ALL NOTES OFF message sent at the attack of every note, just before the actual note on message goes out. This way there is no overlap of notes. I've tried to navigate the transformer object but it's a rather steep learning curve! I'm comfortable with this kind of stuff, just not sure where to start...
