  1. If I'm interpreting this correctly only M2 and M3 are affected; and your signature says you're using an M1?
  2. I seriously doubt that Apple would buy another DAW suite and create in-house competition to Logic. Let's remember: The first thing Apple did after buying Emagic was killing the Windows versions (and keeping the Mac versions). Since there are no (official) Mac versions of Samplitude and Sequoia I doubt that this will come to pass. Granted: Immediately before Emagic was bought there was some cooperation between them and Magix (for example, there was a shortlived notation program that was essentially the notation part of Logic and some more); and I've also seen other things that ultimately didn't see the light of day.
  3. If I recall correctly additional inputs show up in Cuemix when ADAT is enabled (at least on macOS).
  4. Exactly like this, yes. Yes, this would set the pitch for all notes except 36 to 39 to 100. From an aesthetic point of view I would put the "else" on the same tab distance as the "else if" before because it functionally belongs to that group. This makes everything slightly easier to read. The code will execute the same regardless.
  5. No, but I'm not fully awake yet. Multi CP4.logicx.zip
  6. Here's a Multi Instrument with the Bank Select commands for the CP4. I've included the name for the first entry for a few banks (I think 3, 8, 9 and 14). Set the ports accordingly and check if it generally works. If so I'll add the full name set.
  7. You're likely using a Multi Instrument from the environment here. What you need to do is to define the bank select commands in the environment; it works somewhat as a translation layer between the actual track and the data sent to the CP. I'll look into the manual later and see what we can do.
  8. You should look into "else if" statements and then get nesting your code as desired. For example: if (event instanceof Note) { if (event.pitch == 36) event.pitch = 58; else if (event.pitch == 37) event.pitch = 59; // and so on } event.trace(); event.send(); Depending on where you put event.send() you'll get different behavior. In the above case all incoming data is passed through except specific notes as defined in the function (those get manipulated and then sent). Compare this to if (event instanceof Note) { if (event.pitch == 36) event.pitch = 58; else if (event.pitch == 37) event.pitch = 59; // and so on event.trace(); event.send(); } In this case only notes are sent; all other data is filtered. Again, specific notes as defined are manipulated. Compare this to if (event instanceof Note) { { if (event.pitch == 36) event.pitch = 58; else if (event.pitch == 37) event.pitch = 59; // and so on event.trace(); event.send(); } } In this case only the manipulated notes are sent and all other data (including notes not defined in the function) is filtered.
  9. Could be a reset message Logic is sending. I think Logic sends by default Controller #120 on stop when notes on that strip were played before. You could put a Scripter plugin in front of Kontakt and run the "Trace Events" script (from the Tutorial scripts) to see what actually is sent.
  10. I don't think an MP3 has any tempo information embedded. So Logic will pick a tempo based on various factors; and you might well end up with the double or half value.
  11. He did, and you can buy it from various sources. https://www.logicprohelp.com/logic-pro-book/
  12. Input devices are always a highly personal thing. Some people prefer traditional mice albeit sometimes in very different sizes; others prefer trackpads while others again swear by trackball devices. I tried nearly everything and ended up with a vertical mouse (for stationary work). For mobile work I go with the computer keyboard and the trackpad; this works for me because I can rest the hands on the case in front of the keyboard when using the trackpad. But I've seen plenty of cases where people always use a mouse with a laptop despite it having a trackpad built in Once more - this is something that works for myself - but that does not mean it will work for everyone. I suggest always trying out any input devices before. As far as music keyboards go: I can't really work with anything smaller than 49 keys. The 25 keys models have the disadvantage (again for myself) that I can't play a bass note and a chord at the same time. I have one with 25 keys and the only thing I can use it for is inputting notes in a scorewriter. But for anything having to do with real playing it's for me unusuable. (But it might also be useful for switching articulation sets.) 37 keys might be slightly better but 49 keys is in many cases the minimum - again: for myself.
  13. If I'm reading this right the Macbook refuses to install Sonoma? Others might be more knowledgeable about this; but there is a small chance that this could have something to do with your network setup. But let me stress that this is purely a shot in the dark based on personal experience. Here's the story: The college I work at got two new Macs in 2019; an iMac and a Mac Mini. Both were located on the same network. But while the iMac would easily update to a newer OS variant the Mac Mini was always aborting (very late in the process) with some kind of error. Interestingly when I took it home it run the update without complaining. This was all happening with LAN connections. After the college moved widely to WiFi those problems disappeared. I blame the whole issue on the T2 chip in the Mac Mini (the iMac still didn't have one); this is a security chip that is tied very deep into many functions of the OS. My theory is that it tries to communicate with Apple's servers on a port that was closed in our network (schools and universities often try to close off as many ports to prevent misuse of ressources and attacks). While all the downloads and so on were working just fine this particular functionality somehow got blocked in our firewall. The functionality of the T2 chip is nowadays incorporated into the Apple Silicon chips (M1 to M3) so there is a possibility that this could affect those newer Apple products, too. But once again - this is merely an idea. This also could be something completely different.
  14. Indeed playing around with the Metronome project settings restored the values of the Klopfgeist and the Metronome channel strip to sensible values again; and those are retained for new songs. The "Tone" setting is changing the "Tonality" parameter of the Klopfgeist while the "Volume" setting is changing the level of the Klopfgeist channel strip. For some reason those settings (in the Project settings window) have no markings so it's no immediately clear where the actual default values are; but changing them while the Klopfgeist window is open and the Metronome strip is visible certainly helps. Thanks for the tip.
  15. Not quite: Just the very newest version(s) of Logic don't run on Monterey anymore. Logic 10.8 came out last November; 10.7.9 came out last July and was still running fine on Monterey. However the jump from 10.7.9 to 10.8 seems to be quite substantial feature-wise (I'm still on older versions myself). One of the reasons I haven't upgraded to newer versions is compatibility - I'm still running some older software for which the compatibility with newer versions of macOS is unknown. My main computer at home is still on Mojave... Another reason can be that some people don't particularly like the "look and feel" of the newer macOS versions; or that those versions introduced some new bugs. Monterey was a comparatively stable and mature release, hence it's no wonder people are sticking to it. Ventura would already be sufficient. If you don't intend to run "legacy" software and would additionally "learn" macOS along the way I don't see much of a reason for you to stick with Monterey; you could easily upgrade macOS and start with the latest Logic version right away. So in a nutshell the pros and cons: Monterey, Logic 10.7.9 pros: no need to upgrade macOS, very stable system cons: getting Logic onto it might be a bit more convoluted; Logic will lack the newest features; macOS Monterey will get security updates for a limited time Ventura/Sonoma, Logic 10.8.1 (?) pros: Logic is possibly easier to install (just buy it in the App Store and install), newest Logic version, macOS will get security updates for a longer period cons: need to install Ventura or Sonoma, there might be some bugs or incompatibilities looming in there BTW: The reason that your laptop will come with macOS 12 and not a newer version is probably because that's what it originally was shipped with. When dealers reset those computers the original macOS is (more or less automatically) installed.
