will3music Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have followed the instructions (from the manual) to create and save a set of key labels for a sampler instrument. I followed this procedure: 1. Open instrument within Sampler 2. Under "Mapping", go to Edit > Edit Key Labels 3. Create key label set by clicking next to the relevant note and typing the desired names (Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, etc) 4. Save Key Label Set As > type name of newly created key label set The set is then saved, but when I close the Key Labels dialog box, nothing happens. The labels aren't showing on the piano roll, and I can't see them displayed anywhere in the mapping/zone window within the sampler itself. I then re-open Edit > Edit Key Labels to find that the key label set has reverted to default, i.e. no key labels. My saved set is there in the drop down menu, so I select it; it loads into the Key Labels editor window, and everything is as I specified, no problem. However, again - nothing happens in the actual piano roll, there is nothing to suggest that the labels are actually being applied to the instrument, and when I close and re-open the dialog, the labels have reverted to default once again. Strangely, I have a previous sample instrument made in EXS24 for which I made key labels, and these work: they show up in the piano roll, and when I go to Edit > Edit Key Labels, there they are in the dialog box (I have not had to "save" them, they are simply there from when I edited them in EXS24). Anyone know what's going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heilei Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 To rephrase will3music's question above: has anyone been able to actually use Sampler Key Labels? In the Piano Roll window, in Sampler itself, anywhere? Apple has a page explaining how to create, save, load and delete them, but the page mentions nothing about actually USING them ( https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/use-key-labels-lgcp64b833d4/mac ). Key Labels would be extremely useful if they actually worked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Has anyone got these working?? I don't see them displayed in the Piano Roll or the Step Sequencer here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akitru Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Could a Mapped Instrument be used as a workaround for this issue? It does display custom note names on the piano roll (I use it for lighting control). https://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10.4/index.html?lang=en#/lgcpc37fc656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Could a Mapped Instrument be used as a workaround for this issue? Kinda, but that's quite a quirky workaround. Doesn't work in the Step Sequencer, requires to assign the track to the mapped instrument which means you lose quick Inspector access to the instrument's channel strip unless you create an additional track, and you would have to save individual mapped instruments for every individual key label set you want to use, and every time you want to use one you have to cable it into your instrument channel strip...

will3music Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 I’ve resorted to using an older version of Logic to create the note labels in EXS24. Apple clearly needs to be notified of this issue if it’s not working for anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
