airproofing Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I just got a new MacBook Air with Logic X pre-loaded. Now every time I open a project (converted from Logic 9) it gives a message "Changed number of MIDI inputs. Now 1 input is available." What's up with that?

enossified Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What MIDI devices are (or were) connected when you were using 9? What is connected now? When I open old projects on my iMac that were last opened when I was using different devices than I use now, I've gotten that message. I assume after you save the project the message doesn't come up again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airproofing Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks. I had an M-Audio keyboard plugged in Logic 9. Nothing connect now in Logic X. I'll check that out. I still get the message every time I open the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Could you post a screenshot of the alert you're getting? How to attach files to your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airproofing Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 It stays on the screen about 4 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks. That message appears when a MIDI interface (or a USB device that has MIDI ports) is connected or disconnected from your Mac (or turned on or off). It shouldn't have any relationship with loading a Logic project file at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To see what port is added, open the midi environment, go to the "Clicks & Ports" layer, and look what's listed in the "Physical Input" object. Do you use Autosampler in the project ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airproofing Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 It always happens very time I open the window. JakobP - I don't use Autosampler - I don't know what it is. I'm new to Logic X and in Logic 9 I don't know what opening the MIDI environment means - there is no option for that in my Window menu, and never saw anything called "Clicks & Ports" so I don't know where to find it. I've looked about. Don't mean to be a pest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) No problem Go main menu Window>Open MIDI Environment, in the window that opens, click on "Mixer" in the top left and select "Click & Ports" in the drop down. Now you can see a box named "Physical Input" to the left, in there you see all midi ports Logis is seeing, can you tell us what's listed there ?

airproofing Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 There is no Open MIDI environment option in my Windows menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Ok, you probably haven't enabled the advanced options in Logics preferences ? Go Logic Pro > Preferences>Advanced Tools and enable all checkboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airproofing Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Aha... thank you. It has EZdrummer linked to a keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Aha... thank you. It has EZdrummer linked to a keyboard. Sounds like EZdrummer is providing Logic a virtual MIDI input port: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/ezdrummer-2-midi-out-with-apple-logic/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

des99 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It's really nothing to worry about. Logic is just informing you of MIDI port changes - something is creating a virtual MIDI port. You can probably turn notifications off on your computer if it bothers you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
