Ahhh there it is. I'm not the first to experience it. Thanks for at least making me feel less crazy

Hi Atlas, Sorry for the delay, but thank you for your response! It doesn't seem to make any difference, unfortunately. I'm puzzled by where the issue is. I actually have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with Divisimate, but just that the message needs to come from a physical controller. I know it's weird, but I'm not sure how else to explain why it's not working. The CC signal can get to the track no problem; it's just that Logic doesn't see it as an articulation change except under the right circumstances. Anyway, I do appreciate your help, but for now, I am resigned to the fact that I'll do old fashioned KeySwitching as opposed to official Articulation changes. It's unfortunate, but not the end of the world - it's how I did KeySwitching up until recently when I found out that Logic did Articulations. Cheers, Joel

Hi Atlas, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Divisimate is pretty incredible, and it immediately found its way in to my permanent workflow. The first day I had it, I was able to complete a pretty impressive Big Band track in about 2 hours. I was in love. I do have MIDI Remote enabled. After tracing the MIDI data flow, my suspicion is that Logic needs to receive Articulation changes directly from a physical controller or at least have the track you wish to send the message to be in 'focus' (selected in the arrange window). I currently have my Articulation Set set up to receive CC#89(1-127) as the method of selecting Articulations, and I have a LaunchPadX set up to send that. If I select "ALL" or "LAUNCHPAD" as the MIDI in Port, and click on the targeted track, it works fine - Logic sees the CC message as a remote for Articulation Sets. But for Divisimate to work correctly, the MIDI signal needs to come in to Logic via Divisimate Ports, allowing you perform on / record multiple tracks at once. When the same CC message goes to the same Track, instead of seeing CC#89 as a Remote for the Articulation set, it just sees it as CC#89. (I've tested this by placing MIDI monitors in different spots to see where the information gets confused). For the record, I am easily able to get standard, old fashioned Keyswitching to work no problems, jus has normal. I am specifically referring to Keyswitching via Articulation Sets. Anyway, if you've got any suggestions, I'm all ears! For now, I think my conclusion is that this template will require me to Keyswitch the old fashioned way.

Hi All, I'm in the process of doing a new orchestral template and I've hit a stumbling block. I've been using Divisimate - for those that don't know, it's an external piece of software that assigns incoming notes to assignable channels/ports in Logic. For example, if you are working on a Big Band arrangement, all you need to do is play a chord, and it will route the lowest note to your Bari Sax, next lowest to your Tenor which is doubled by a trombone, then next note to trumpet, etc.. It's a great tool, but requires you to route the MIDI in to Logic via ports that it creates. You can either go directly in to Divisimate which goes in to Logic, or you can have a dedicated track in Logic that goes in to Divisimate and then back. Either way, you need to use ports as your track inputs; using All causes feedback loops. I found ways to make everything work really well, until I started trying to implement Articulation sets. For whatever reason, Logic will not do Articulation changes with an Articulation Set correctly if the input is coming from a port. I've got a Launch Pad X set up with all my keyswitch triggers (I'm using Modern Scoring Strings, so Keyswitching is part of the beauty). If I go directly in to the track with the MIDI In Port set to "All" or to the LaunchPad X, it works fine, but if I go through Divisimate, it it registers the CC changes just as, well, CC changes instead of changing the articulation. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and, if so, does anyone have a workaround or, eve, better yet, a solution? Cheers, j

Anytime!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That's amazing - it does exactly what it needs to do. Thank you thank you thank you. When I look at your code, I can see that I was actually nowhere near being close in my own attempts. It's far more complex than I thought it would be - is this because you made it variable? Anyway, I really can't thank you enough - please let me know if I can return the favour somehow... -j

Hi All, I've encountered a problem that I think can easily be solved with the Scripter Plugin... however, though I've got tonnes of Logic Environment and Max/MSP experience, I have never scripted in my entire life, and I don't even know where to begin. However, I imagine what I need is not too hard, so I'm hoping some kind soul can either push me in the right direction, or, if it's not too hard, provide me with the code. I have an environment setup that relies on every track being on a different MIDI channel (it interacts with other software via IAC bus), and channel is crucial to make sure that everything goes where it's supposed to go. However, some of my plugins seem to only react properly to Channel 1 (lookin' at you, Arturia...). So, I need a way that a MIDI message can remain on Channel 2, but be converted to Channel 1 for the sake of the plugins. Just to be clear, I know how to change channels via Transformer objects in the environment, but I specifically need the channel change to happen AFTER the sequencer, but before the synth plugin... In layman's terms, the code would look like this: 1. MIDI comes in on any channel 2. MIDI message has its channel re-assigned to be Channel 1 (or a variable channel would be awesome too) 3. MIDI message goes out. Can anyone offer me any help? Also, to be clear, i have spent the past 2 days trying to learn the vernacular for this, and I feel that I'm probably frustratingly close, but this is my literal first attempt, and I just don't know how to trouble shoot this; I don't know the terms well enough to know where my errors are. Any help (or even better, code - providing it's as easy as I think it should be) would be appreciated. Thanks, J
