Hello, I have a Roland A-800 Pro keyboard that is causing Logic to either crash or require a force quit. I've got the latest driver and everything works just fine and dandy in Mainstage; it's only in Logic Pro X (10.4.6) that the problem is occurring. In the Environment>Ports area I'm showing no incoming MIDI activity from the Sum output and my Audio/Midi setup panel sees that the device is on and active. Any ideas? I'm attaching a screenshot of the last thing I see before my program crashes.

If you halftime all your MIDI sequences, maybe?

I'm having the same problem with my A-800PRO controlling Logic Pro 10.4.5. Every time I open Logic with the keyboard turned on it tries to sync up and then crashes. While I haven't fully solved the problem the only workaround I've found is to keep disabling the ACT mode or quickly change its control map to 8. Seems like once Logic and the controller start to communicate you have about 5 seconds to do this before it crashes again.

Thank you so much, Atlas007. Between you and fuzzfilth I got it done. Ironically I was busy figuring it all out while you were preparing and delivering my Christmas present. Yep, our solutions are basically the same. In the spirit of giving I've attached a screenshot of my new environment with some info bubbles. Great challenge!

I'm going to try both of these suggestions guys. Thanks so much!

Maybe I need to find a band that can keep time

Yes that's indeed closer to the solution. If the band drifts speed-wise I can re-sync the metronome using tap-tempo but for the period in which I'm hitting the pad I'm a one-handed drummer. Not a complete deal-breaker but am still seeking the one-strike answer. Thanks for the ideas!

I have. The problem there is that I've got sticks in both hands and too busy with the other limbs to do a fader object. All I've got's my left hand with stick on pads or it can't happen. Frustrating to be so close to doing tempo mods on the fly.

This is my first attempt on this BB to lend a hand but I think I might have a reasonable guess at your problem. When you introduced an audio track to the project Logic now has that Keep/Adapt tempo mode which may be overriding your tempo changes? Even if that particular section doesn't have the audio, the flex-timer might be trying to do its thing. Perhaps if it's set to "Adapt" you might try "Keep". Hope this might lead you towards the answer.

I've done a number of searches on this forum to see if this topic has been covered. I'm a drummer, triggering the playback of Logic sequences with a foot switch. What I'd like to be able to do is use two drum pads to make incremental changes in the tempo of Logic: one pad for -2 BPM and one pad for +2. That way if the band is pushing or pulling the tempo during a performance I can adjust playback speed by hitting the corresponding pad. I can see that Logic allows me to create tempo sets and in the attached example I'm using a mouse to change from 74 to 76 BPM. Problem is I cannot find a way to map this to a particular key command or assign it to an incoming midi message from a drum pad. Any ideas?
