d_dubline Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hi All, I've been using Logic sampler for many years and have run into a hitch that I never faced before - I'm trying to figure out how to enable some kind of "select via midi" behaviour wherein my track playback selects the notes being played in the open sampler (So that I can tune or edit the selected region). This works fine with a midi controller, pressing a key will select the region, but playback from the track does not. I'm searching for a toggle function somewhere that will enable this but am at a loss. Any help would be much appreciated! /d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Not sure to understand... There is a however a difference between the route a played note from a recorded track and the MIDI controller's events (key switch). Note played from a recorded track will trigger/affect the instantiated plugin (i.e. Sampler) in that assigned channelstrip. OTOH, key pressed on a MIDI controller will trigger/affect the Logic program itself(i.e. select a region). Thus, two different levels of interaction, due to different route those MIDI event are going through. For the MIDI event that trigger the region selection, it has to come back at the Logic entrance to affect it. This is something achievable usually by the use of an IAC loop. However, before going any further, I'd rather understand a little more what you are actually trying to achieve. So providing further explanation would be useful...

d_dubline Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi Atlas, The question is this: I have a Sampler midi region with notes in it. when I play back the midi with the keyboard or a controller, the notes are selected/highlighted in the sampler. But when I playback the region, they are not selected. I'm trying to to be able to get playback to select the notes (say in a drum sequence I want to easily be able to see which region(s) are being triggred so that I can edit/tune that region. Other programs (say NI Battery) do this by default, whereas Sampler now only seems able to select the regions by triggering them via the keyboard. See this video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FYkDSp-jtYsZCEq6qHaVy5KQzYMhY54S/view?usp=sharing Does that clarify? /d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_dubline Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 NB in the video, the first time through the sequence I am manually triggering the notes via the keyboard and you can see the corresponding notes are highlighted in the sampler window as they are triggered. But when I playback the same notes via the midi region they are no longer selected/highlighted when triggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Try to route the notes to an IAC bus and select and R-enable the Sampler track? Let me know if you need help with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_dubline Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi David, Thanks for the response. That's a more convoluted fix than I was hoping for, as mentioned this is something that other sampler plugins will do by default (Battery etc...) so it shouldn't need special routing, and I'm 99% certain that the EXS sampler did as well (and possibly even the new sampler pre-10.7?). I have a legacy machine that I can verify on this weekend. But it looks like (for now) the feature is no longer accessible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I can confirm that this worked in EXS24, used it all the time. Since the Sampler in 10.5 it didn't. It's been bugging me like crazy but can't find anything about it online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
