Archeopteryx Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Mac: 2 X 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel Logic Pro 8.0.2 This is a recent problem - never happened before. All of my soft synths (EFM1, ES1, ES2, Sculpture, etc. and also outboard modules like JV1010 and Proteus 2000) are playing roughly 30 cents flat. Even stranger, they no longer respond consistently to pitch bend. I've tried hyper drawing a pitch correction as a work-around, and the attack of the note may play in tune, but the decay and release snap back to the grossly flat pitch. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or how to trouble shoot it? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi there Archeopteryx! Welcome to Logic Pro Help. You can attach the Logic file in question to this thread. I'll take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
involver Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Perhaps your the pitch bender on your MIDI keyboard is faulty? Try unplugging the MIDI keyboard or filtering pitchbend messages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Are you comparing the pitch of your synths to standard tuning, or as compared with existing audio tracks? (I'm suspecting a sample rate mismatch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archeopteryx Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Solved. It was the pitch wheel on my MIDI controller keyboard. Even though the thing has been power cycled several times, it was still (apparently) stuck and sending bad pitch bend data. The wheel is on a spring. All I did was tweak it and let it snap back, and all the pitch problems instantly resolved. So, Involver hit closest to the bullseye on this one. Thanks for all the tips. I was pretty sure it wasn't sample rate mismatches because this problem was globally affecting the outboard modules and soft synths at the same time.

redlogic Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 GMTA! 8) GMTA OK... So which is it? Green Mountain Transit Agency or Georgia Motor Trucking Association or Georgia Music Teachers Association or Greater Madison Tennis Association I'm thinking Greater Madison Tennis Association. But, knowing ski, it's probably Georgia Motor Trucking Association. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Now I'm trying to remember.... Grand Marnier Tastes Awesome? No, that wasn't it. Um... Get Me Twenty Armadillos? Nope, that wasn't it either. Um... Global Marker Track Alternatives? No, wasn't that. Hmmm... Oh yes, I remember now... it was this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
