Music Spirit Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 One of the students I teach over Zoom ( they screenshare and run their Logic Project) has this problem: 1/ Inputs notes via step input to form a chord with both hands on a Piano stave ( Midi Channel 1 = Treble Clef Channel 2 = Bass Clef) 2/ Normally when I do this all notes come in to the Treble Clef on Channel 1 - then use the Separation Tool or Click Select the Left hand notes and move them to Channel 2 3/ When the chord is played back only the Treble Notes ( ie Midi channel 1) sounds - those notes moved to other midi channels do not sound. Two questions: A) What settings need to change to make all channels sound in the above set up? ( On mine Channel 2 and other channels play back normally_ B) What settings need to change in order to input notes ONLY on a given Channel other than Channel 1 - on my setup even if I change my Master Keyboard to output Channel 2 ( a Korg SG1 with a dedicated pot in the front to adjust midi channel) - Logic only receives on Channel 1 What would I need to do in order to Input ONLY on Channel 2 ie directly to the bass clef stave?

des99 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm not a score guy but I seem to remember a thread here where it was seen that whatever you did, step input only ever created events on MIDI channel 1 - a search might turn the thread up. I'm not sure if this is your issue (someone else can weigh in) it's just it's tickling some vague thread memories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this is your issue (someone else can weigh in) it's just it's tickling some vague thread memories... Good point - I also remember a thread on that.. but how does one find it? I tried various search terms and nothing comes up on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed there are a few threads discussing this limitation in Logic Pro: • Step Record Midi only sends Midi Channel 1? • Logic erroneously writing all MIDI data as Channel 1 • Score Editor - Midi Channel per stave Input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Nope, not that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Nope, not that one... Whoops, I added a couple more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Ah yes, the second one you added was the one I remembered (Logic erroneously writing...) - thanks for digging that up. No idea whether it will help the OP, but it's the best I could think of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Make sure in the track inspector - the midi channel is set to all - if it is set to 1 or another channel - all notes regardless of their note event midi channel will be channelized or sent to channel 1. Also the step input has channel designator in the upper right corner .... i can't recall if the is work properly with an external keyboard, but it does with the built in step editor keyboard.
