boglary Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I learned now how to record MIDI and add the sound from the media library of Logic. However I have lots of beautiful sounds in my synthetiser which I would like to use. How can I make it in reverse, recording the signal but add the sound from my keyboard?

How can I make it in reverse, recording the signal but add the sound from my keyboard? Search Logic manual "External Instruments". There a many ways to hook up your instrument with midi and audio cables and use Logic capabilities like "New external Midi" device, Software Instrument plugin "External Instrument" etc...

cliveports Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Surely its just a case of taking the audio out from your synth and getting it into your mac? and setting one track as a midi (software instrument) and another track as audio. That way you'll be able to record your midi and synth audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boglary Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yes, I can record audio from the synth and MIDI with software instrument. But what I would like to do to record MIDI and afterwards chosing the instrument from my keyboard. As I can't do as many things with audio as I can with MIDI files. But will check the manual as soon as I get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliveports Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 sounds like its even simpler then! As you already have the audio out from your synth to the audio in of your mac and you already have midi recorded then as long as you have midi out from your mac to the midi in of the synth you should be able to select whatever patch you want. You may need to mess around with midi channels of course and you MAY need to edit or filter the midi recording to strip out any programme change events as these may override what you punch in to your synth!

boglary Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Ok, thanks, so it is possible. I just have to mess around - this is the worrying part. But when I get there and stuck with the channels I might write again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliveports Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey, mess around! You cant break it. I always set up a dummy song in logic to mess around with. That way I don't worry about ruining songs I've crafted. If you get stuck..... just post again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
