alexfsu Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I see how Logic detects what chords we play at the bottom middle of the arrangement screen (i.e., Cm, Dmaj7, etc.). But when those chords are played when I play the arrangement, I see no indication of what notes are being "pressed". Hope I'm making sense here. Is there any way that Logic detects what chords are being played via MIDI when the track is played, not just when you play them on a MIDI keyboard beforehand?

David Nahmani Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 You'd have to route the MIDI data back into the Sequencer input (in the Click and Ports layer of the environment), which could be a problem if you have any track record-enabled.

Ah, "Click and Ports", we meet again. Could you briefly explain the routing for this please, or at least provide any links? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexfsu Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I routed MIDI input into the Sequencer and turned off Record enable but still no MIDI data at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Here's an easy way to do it: -Make sure the IAC driver is enabled in the MIDI section of Audio MIDI Setup (Applications/Utilities). -Create a new external MIDI track making sure the Open Library box is checked. -Pick the IAC Bus port and a MIDI channel from the library pane after creating the external MIDI track. -Copy any MIDI region you want to analyze for chords to that track. -Make sure that track is not selected when you press play unless you want to find out what a MIDI feedback loop does.

David Nahmani Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks Jordito! Alex, Jordito's way is really elegant, it doesn't even involve you ever opening the environment window - which is always nice. What I was going to suggest is to open the environment, and do some cabling in there, but honestly now that I read Jordito's suggestion I strongly feel you should follow his advice.

hotrats Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Another simple way to do this, if your keyboard has a THRU Midi port, is to connect that to the Midi in, set up an external MIDI instrument and a region with whatever chords you want to analyse, reduce the tempo, and Play.
