rededfred2010 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello everyone, I am trying to load/play full type 1 midi song files in Logic. I have watched people on Youtube load them by dragging them straight into the arrange page which is what I have been trying to do. Apple says that is how they work as well. What happens for me is that I get GM devices instead of software instruments loading and can't figure out what needs changing. Logic seems to think I want the file to play external instruments when I just want software. I can imagine this is an easy fix. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you. Logic 10.5.0 Mojave.

David Nahmani Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Can you attach the MIDI file here so that one of us can try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ok I tried the first one and it opened software instruments in 10.7.4. What version of Logic Pro are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rededfred2010 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 No not all. What am I missing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that Logic isn't finding the software instrument patches it wants to load and therefore uses external MIDI channels instead. Choose Logic Pro > Sound Library > Open Sound Library Manager and make sure you install all the content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
