You're welcome and this .....ahem....."enhancement" has caught out a lot of people.

I take it this is a totally custom key command set? By default in the US key command set: Key "2" will open screenset 2. Cmd-W is the default Close Window key command. Shift-P is assigned to Search Sample Peak.

I wasn't going by the image, I was going by what you stated in the original post. Is there a surround channel/track in the project? If there is....this is why the appearance of the Inspector destination channel strip has changed. Remove the surround CS/track and the appearance of the destination CS in the Inspector will revert to the "Stereo Out" appearance. This ^^^^^^ assumes that you haven't changed your I/O settings and names - explicitly or accidentally (in Logic's settings). Are you using a stereo or multichannel audio interface?

What's the keyboard make/model? Are footswitches/pedals connected to it? Do you have more than one keyboard/drum machine etc. and are they connected? If so, how - MIDI, USB? Do you use any MIDI utility/monitoring software or run another program (Reason, Live, etc.) alongside/simultaneously with Logic?

It's the presence of the surround track/channel strip that is causing this. Are you actually recording/monitoring/mixing in surround? If not, delete the Surround track/CS and things will return to "normal" (Stereo Out).

GB for iOS can record at 24-bit, but not at 48kHz, AFAIK. The internal audio engine is set to 44.1kHz, I believe. Logic Pro 4 iPad supports 24bit/48kHz. That said....this isn't a cut/dried thing. Internal audio hardware - iPad Pros (and I think later model non-Pro iPads) support 48kHz by default. Earlier/lower-end iPads default to 44.1. When using external audio hardware - iPads "can" support higher rates/bit depth - but this is dependent on the audio hardware being used and if it can be physically switched or switched thru a software utility. For simplicity - LP4iPad offers cross-platform compatibiity with Logic on the Mac (projects, not just wav files...so FX, synths, presets, patches, routings, region/arrangement/tempo, etc.) - and you can subscribe monthly/yearly....as needed. Monthly might be best if the x-platform thing is only needed a couple of times a year. Personally, had no problem with paying the yearly subscription and have found that LP4iPad has been used way more than I expected I'd use it. It'll never be my primary DAW, but it's come in handy on a few occasions (including a couple of impromptu recordings/jams - and I just happened to have the iPad in the car at the time...so got lucky). Not sure about other iOS DAWs.

I'll preface this by saying I'm no lawyer.... Apple Loop content is royalty-free and can be used as you wish - for music creation. You can't, however, repackage Logic content (loops, etc.) and re-sell it as a sample collection, for example. https://support.apple.com/en-us/101908 WRT Spotify, "samples" would probably suffice...as you are using royalty-free content provided by Apple with Logic. https://artists.spotify.com/en/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-sample-clearances

What option is shown in your Transport bar?

Take a look here....

It may have been a corruption in the problem project. As a Q, have you ever had the project with the issue open at the same time as another project? Opening two projects simultaneously can expose a long-standing bug - which "might" result in corrupted projects. Sometimes this is minor weirdness and sometimes it totally trashes the project.

Realtime or offline bounce? Logic and MacOS version? On older Macs/Logic and OS versions, the success of the bounce can come down to sheer processing muscle/grunt...so choosing a realtime (or offline) bounce may perform better.

Is the polarity of your expression pedal actually inverted or does it have a range knob? Can the above be changed on the pedal unit itself (or in the controller)? If so...make your adjustments and try it with a stock Sampler string sound and see if it behaves as it should. David is correct that the 2nd mod routing is incomplete - but could be set to control filter cutoff or whatever target you want to control with the expression pedal - in addition to the default "off the rack" expression control.

They may also have future plans for it...and it is - as mentioned - already useful in a few ways.

A cursory look through the Sampler factory library shows that mod matrix routing 2 is assigned to expression for cellos, violins, string ensembles, etc. This is the default routing for much of the sample library (see pic). Perhaps adjust the amount/sensitivity in Sampler (or the pedal/controller?) If using the Studio Strings plug....make sure Dynamics via Ctrl is active. Is your expression pedal functioning on the correct CC# (CC#11) and is the keyboard you're playing through (the exp pedal is connected to it) sending this data on the correct channel? Logic will "see" and record all data, but - depending on the sophistication of your controller - it's possible that note data is being recorded on channel 1, but expression data is being recorded on channel 2.....for example.

Known bug....see NI info. Apparently still in Kontakt 7.10.1 https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/39/official-update-status-kontakt-current-version-7-9-0
