  1. Thanks guys. Yes I realised the source was wrong a short while ago. Also I didn't have the zone velocity set correctly. I managed to solve it now. For reference and future recall the solution is: MAPPING: Group 1: zone velocity 0-64 / Group 2: zone velocity 65-127 MOD MATRIX SOURCE: Mod Wheel TARGET: Sample Select AMOUNT: +100% GROUP VIEW: Group 1: Velocity Range 0-127 / Linear Gain / XFade 64 Group 2: Velocity Range 0-127 / Linear Gain / XFade 64
  2. Bump... very frustrated that I still can't do this very basic task... 🙄
  3. Curiously I'm having a similar issue in Kontakt! The principal here is apparently beyond the capabilities of my brain!
  4. Hi, I have two very simple samples of a guitar ebow sustained an octave apart. I would like to use the mod wheel to smoothly crossfade between them at will. I followed the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/logicpro/lgsifc8649f5/mac but it doesn't quite behave as desired. The velocity range low/high/xfade is a little cryptic. I did this: SOURCE: Velocity TARGET: Sample Select AMOUNT: +100% VIA: Mod Wheel Group 1 (D#1): Velocity Range 0-64 / Linear Gain / XFade 127 Group 2 (D#2): Velocity Range 65-127 / Linear Gain / XFade 127 And it's almost there but I can still hear the low sample at full mod wheel when I shouldn't hear any. No amount of fiddling with these parameters is yielding a smooth transition from one sample to the other (yes the samples are the same gain structure). Where am I going wrong?! Thanks!
  5. Thanks, I didn't see the mixer volume function. I'm still getting to grips with the new (or not so new) Sampler. Velocity scaling does bother me a bit in DIY multi-samples, but it seems you've done the same thing as me (batch normalise or equivalent). For me it'd be a very handy feature! Surprised this doesn't come up as an issue more often? Cheers
  6. Thanks, yeh not sure it's clear though. I know Env1 Amp is continuous but the scaling is exactly the issue... Let's say in the above example the sample at velocity 127 is 0db and the sample at velocity 96 is -6db (and so on). I would have to set Env1 Amp to 0db to have the correct loudness playback for the sample at velocity 96 (-6db). But if I also want to trigger the top sample at velocity 112 which should result in the sample triggering at -3db, it won't work because Env1 Amp is at 0. But adjusting Env1 Amp starts to distort the loudness imbalance. The way around this as far as I know is to set the Env1 Amp to say 24db and increase the sample of the sample at velocity 96 by +6db, thus creating a continuous velocity scale. It seems strangely complicated and convoluted, I'm surprised there isn't a feature for this scenario (eg auto scale velocity by gain). I'm not sure what you mean by adjusting the mixer volume as this is before any output... Appreciate the input - thanks!
  7. That is true, yes thanks. Supposing I wanted to be difficult though and have velocity scaling in between each layer as well! Is the only way via gain adjustment? Cheers
  8. Hi, I've never actually understood how to do this properly or efficiently... Lets say you have produced a sample of a snare at 4 velocities: p / mp / mf / f You would then logically assign these to a key with the the velocity layers p: 1-32 mp: 33-64: mf: 65-96 f: 96-127 However, the snare recordings naturally become quieter in the softer dynamics, so when you assign to these velocity layers, Sampler is actually making them quieter still. The way I would manage this usually (and somewhat tediously) would be to increase the gain of each sample up to the level of the loudest one. Then when Sampler applies the velocity, the transition would (in theory at least) be linear. How do people manage this process? Is there an automated function? I'm guessing there's an easy solution, I just don't know it! Thanks in advance.
  9. Ok so I can clear the lane set, set the status to 'note' and untick the pitch box which gives me all note velocities back again but the lane is labelled as 'C3'. How do I just default this to an 'all velocities' lane?!
  10. Hi, In Step Editor, Logic used to show me a lane for velocity containing all notes, but now it shows them to me with each note split across multiple lanes. I've played around with creating/deleting lane sets, and the lane drop down options but I can't get it to behave as it used to. Any help appreciated - thanks!
  11. Thanks again. I've fixed the issue, it's something with the Keylab. It seems to always be transmitting on all channels or on 1 or something. I just swapped all the MIDI channels around and set the Keylab to Channel 1 (was 4) and now it's working fine. Weird, but I'll contact Arturia. Cheers!
  12. Thanks for the reply. I already did the steps you linked to and it all works except for the Keylab 88 for some reason (so possibly something that end). The record arm doesn't display in quite the same way for that track which is worth noting: Is there a way of patching this in some other way i.e via DIN and re-routing to an audio track?! Thanks~
  13. Hi, I'm setting up Logic to run various external hardware synths on independent MIDI channels so I can do multitrack recording (via auto demix) and this is working fine. However I want to use my master keyboard (an Arturia Keylab Essential 88) on one specific audio instrument. I set the audio instrument to a dedicated MIDI channel and set the Keylab to the same channel. But I either have to have that channel selected (which disrupts or duplicates MIDI from other channels) or it doesn't receive anything (by R enabling that channel). I tried the same thing via the Keylab on a MIDI interface (instead of USB) and similar problem. Not sure what's going on here and if I need to do something via the dreaded environment or some external MIDI trick...? Any help appreciated - thanks!
  14. Ok got it thanks! That makes sense now. When I tried I was using CC1 instead of CC2 (slight oversight!). Thanks again
