Music Spirit Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am using L7.1 and a pretty experienced Logic user: does anyone know of a key commands bug when trying to view Key Commands? I always thought my troubles were due to transition from L6 to L7 but I have just been watching Martin Ritter's excellent Macpro training videos and my Key Command window does not do stuff that he is doing. ie When you type a KC into the finder window all the categories are blank? You have to fiddle around for ages to get the various key commands to show used/unused. Has this KC viewing thing been fixed in later versions of Logic Pro 7 - I am reluctant to upgrade as the Score Editor is really important to me and I have read on other Logic Forum that later versions of L7 actually have *more* score bug faults than earlier versions Any info on this much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear your search so the box is empty. Set your SHOW box to USED and your OPTION box to EXPAND all. You should see all the key commands. Using the Search box is for typing in the Command (like Stop, Play, Goto) that you want to control, Not the acutual Key to control the command. If you type in a 'Z' then any command with a 'Z' in the word or phrase will display. .If you have no key commands at all, you may need to reload them. 8) Now...stare into the light..

Eric Wikman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm fairly new to Logic, but have been spending a lot of time setting up my Key Comms for my workflow. I have noticed that the key comm window will stop allowing me input sometimes. If I go thru a few choices for one key comm setting, suddenly I can't type in the box any longer. So I just close it & open it... and it accepts input again. Also, my "P" is set to put the locators to a selected region's boundries. But sometimes it just won't work This is all in the Arrangement window, so there is no chance of "P" being assigned to another key-comm conflict.

cf7 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have noticed that unless the cursor in the find window of the Key Command Window is all the way to the left, it has problems doing its search. So be sure when activating the search window, that the cursor is all the way to the left by hitting the delete key a few times. Strange stuff but it baffled me for a while. Please post if anyone has experienced this or if it helps. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 FYI, there are definitely bugs related to operation of the Key Commands window, most of which I've documented in the bug report section of this website. http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=4486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 PS... I'm very glad to see that LPH is going to the dogs... Dog avatars that is! Me, musicspirit and shiver so far that I've seen. Excellent! But... how come my dog looks grainy? She didn't start out looking like that, but her pixels have apparently expanded. Should I call digi-vet? Or just upload another picture?

rikki rivett Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 On the subject of KeyComs, it's good to know that the "weirdness" in KeyComs window isn't (just) nerdness on my part. I'd just like to plug two Logic keyboard manufacturers at 2 very different price points: Logic Keyboard- (I use one)pretty, hghly efficent and not cheap http://www.logickeyboard.com/ Editors keys: (I haven't used one) less pretty but great price http://www.editorskeys.com It's SOOO much faster, more fun, & kinder to your fingers to use KeyComs. HTH PS I'm putting this in Tips&tricks too, hope that's ok with you David???? RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...Actually, I don't have any bugs in My Key commands. It works Flawlessly TYVM. If I want to see if a command exists, I search for a word in that command (i.e. Play, Record. GoTo, etc) and I get all commands containing that word. Next to that command line I can see if a key has been assigned to it. If I type in a Key command letter (with or w/o modifiers) I will get a Pop-up windows telling me what that KC is programmed to. I then have the option to replace it or cancel it. Also for some KC to work, I need to be in the Window they are used in. I can print out a KC list or Store and recall my own personal set of commands. The only bug that exists is with me because I can't remember every single command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bug that exists is with me because I can't remember every single command. That was a "friendly FYI", not a "FYI cuz u don't know nuffin" kinda FYI. What version of Logic are you running? (If you're running a later version than 7.1.1 maybe they fixed these bugs?) In any event, the bugs I reported in that post, unlike the insects that are always swarming around my monitor, are very real. In v 7.1.1 the KC window is a buggly little piece of code that does not work as it should, i.e., typing the command while the window is open should cause that command to scroll into view (without having to do a search for the command). There's also a nasty little bug that will actually crash Logic if you try to remove a particular key command from one of the sample edit functions. Nice!

I am on 7.2.3 and I took the FYI in a nice way. The fact of the matter is my knowledge in Logic is limited because of how I am using it. If I hadn't joined this forum, the term "Ingorance is Bliss' would fit me very well. I am grateful to everyone who writes in with a question, solution, a url to a different product. I am not using every function in Logic but this forum has opened my eyes to what it can (and cannot) do. I have learned enough in here that I am now ready to actually sit down and read the reference (and Plug-in) manual(s) and learn some things. Now we need to work on that .jpg of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
