LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hello, my Oxygen 49 MK VI keyboard was having trouble. Sometimes some random notes would cut out and after hitting MIDI reset they'd just play with unwanted sustain (I don't have a pedal) before cutting out again. Then one note opened the preferences window. I then opened controller assignments despite not knowing how to use it and deleted some things. I don't know if that is where this problem is coming from. Now no MIDI output exists, even for the on-screen keyboard despite the input being registered (I can play a chord and its name is displayed on the display bar). Can you help? Thanks very much!

David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Choose Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Bypass All Control Surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately that hasn't seemed to solve the problem. Is there anything else I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So you have a checkmark in that menu in front of Bypass All Control Surfaces, yes? Now let's see the MIDI events your keyboard is sending. To the right in your LCD display in Logic's control bar at the top, click the little down arrow symbol, and choose Custom. Now you should see a MIDI in monitor. 1. Press and hold a key on your keyboard. You should see a Note on event (little musical note symbol). 2. Release the key on your keyboard. You should see a Note off event (crossed out musical note symbol). Is that the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yes, that is what's happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yes, that is what's happening Great. That's a good start. Now do you hear a sound when you press a key, and does the sound stop when you release the key, according to the Note on and Note off event you see when pressing/releasing the key?

LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 No, that's the problem I've been having. The piano roll keyboard does produce sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 And if you use the Musical Typing window, do you get normal behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 No, there's no "live input" that works. The input is registered, but no sound is produced. The activity monitors/volume slider thingies (next to the panning knobs on the tracks) don't register anything, even with musical typing.

David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 What track/patch do you have R-enabled? What if you try to create a new software instrument track, and choose a factory electric piano patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Breakthrough! I opened a new project and musical typing now works. However, when I plugged in the MIDI keyboard I chose to 'Auto Assign' and now playing anything just opens the controller assignments window...

LIGHT130 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Now I tried what you said earlier; bypass all control surfaces and now it works! Thank you very much!!! Do you have any idea what the problem could have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Great, good to hear. The problem is that you chose auto-assign so Logic expects you to want to assign your controller's buttons, knobs and sliders to Mixer and Plug-in parameters, and so it does the same with the keys of the keyboard.
