Yes, it looks like it's going to work. They're syncable. Slightly weird thing that when I turned on Flex Pitch on the imported track, it speeded up, or maybe slowed down. Definitely did something unexpected, even though I exported without FX and without tempo info. If I can't live with the way it is now I'll have to go back and look at the track and it's export again. Thanks for the assistance.

Ok, good idea. I'll give that a go. I think I made things very hard by not checking that damn box when I was importing the files initially. I'll come back when I've tried that and report how I got on. Thanks

Hi David Thanks for the reply. Chopping guitar parts up and making tuning adjustments to the vocals. No major work done on plugins, panning or volume.

When I initially imported the tracks I may not have chosen the "all tracks are from the same project" checkbox. Re-importing the tracks with the ADAPT setting and checking that box seems to have helped. Logic tells me the BPM is around 74 in the tempo map, though it fluctuates a bit. I did a fair bit of work on the earlier version. Is that rescuable or should I just dump that and work on the version that appears to have been imported more correctly?

Hi This is going to be tricky for me to describe so please bear with me. I was given some stems from a band jam, where the timing was all over the place, so I decided to try to make some kind of sense of it. I originally imported the stems about a month ago and did some fiddling around. I can't remember now exactly how I imported the files or what I did on the 1st day. Yes, I know, not very helpful. I'm still trying to get to grips with all the time correction stuff in Logic. I decided the basic tempo was 142 because the bass was playing a 2 note cyclical thing and the singing fit over it at that tempo. Originally there were no drums but I added a kind of Krautrock basic pattern and that fits OK at 142 too. However when I import the picking guitar, the only way it sounds very vaguely in time is when the Smart Tempo says it's 75.2. It's not really in time so I want to try and fix that but if I try and quantize it to get it in time, the tempo jumps to 142 and the guitar is now playing about twice as fast. It doesn't seem to make any difference if the tempo on that track is set to variable or constant. If my description of the problem is understandable, is there anything I can do to try and correct the timing of the picking guitar track? Should I attach some files to illustrate the above? Thanks for reading ... Koofar

This is a little head- stretching for me at the moment, but I think it's working. When I select a channel strip/track, the fader works. I had to delete a load of stuff that was opening the Controller Assignments window. Now it doesn't. Now I have 1 assignment for volume and nothing else, which I'm guessing is the one that controls all the tracks when selected. I have the feeling that it could be the start of a long journey, but for now, this is fine. I didn't need the control plugin or the Korg Kontrol Editor for what I wanted to do. If only I'd known that before. No matter, I might have learned something. Thank you David for guiding me through that.

OK, that makes sense. I'll uninstall the plugin. It's obviously very buggy with the most recent version of Logic. Uninstalled, but every time I move the fader, the Controller Assignments window opens. Deleted any Parameter that was Open Parameter Assignments and nothing about Volume. Now only the track I originally moved works, not the tracks I want to control. I probably shouldn't have deleted all the stuff I did.

Thank you. That seemed to work. Why did I have to select a channel strip that I wasn't intending to assign? So I didn't write any unwanted data on the track? A rather strange thing that happened after I'd assigned all the faders. I unselected "Learn Assignment for Volume" from the top menu, but then when I used the fader on my Nanokontrol to record volume changes on any track the faders were assigned to, the Control Assignments windows pops open and sometimes I can't close it. I have to quit Logic to get rid of it. Any idea what's going on there? Am I right in thinking that this Learn Assignment process is relying on the unsupported nanoKONTROL_Studio_CSPlugIn_0101? Would I be able to do what I want without that plugin, by using only the Korg Kontrol Editor? As you can see, I'm still quite foggy about what's going on here.

Yes, the goal is to control the volume faders of 8 specific channel strips in the Logic Mixer.

I don't think the plugin nanoKONTROL_Studio_CSPlugIn_0101 works any more in Logic perhaps since about v10.4 and it doesn't seem to be supported any more, so it looks like I'll have to use the Korg Kontrol Editor. My goal is, to begin with, to get Logic to recognize the volume changes. If that works I'll try other stuff. Using MIDI monitor I can see that it is now sending the correct CC, but Logic doesn't appear to want to recognize it though, as I said, I can see stuff happening in the beats display at the top of the arrangement window.

Hi David. Thanks for the reply. I was hoping I might not have to use that. I have it installed. I've attempted to set volume on track 1 and 2 which I thought was CC#7 from your list on this forum (7 Channel Volume (MSB)). I can see MIDI going in but it doesn't move the fader. Where can I find a complete list? Is it a standard MIDI CC list?

I have MIDI going in as reported by the beats display at the top of the arrangement window, when I move faders on the Nanokontrol, but volumes are not changing.

Hi folks I've just spent the last couple of hours trying to get my Korg Nanokontrol Studio to talk to Logic 10.7.4 to no avail. Is it still possible or not? I notice it's absent from logic-pro-control-surfaces-support-guide.pdf It's visible in Preferences -> MIDI -> Inputs, but not in Preferences -> Control Surfaces All I want to do for now is control the volume faders. Thanks Koofa

@David Nahmani 5 minutes after changing the settings as per your suggestion, this popped up, without me interacting with Blackhole at all. Any idea why it would do that? It could have been dialogs popping up like this, seemingly randomly, that caused me to hit the check box at the bottom.

Thanks David, I'll give that a try.

I'm also experiencing this issue of my input output seetings being changed. In my case it's to one called Background Music (https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic), "a macOS audio utility: automatically pause your music, set individual apps' volumes and record system audio." Last night when I stopped using Logic (and my Mac Mini completely) it was set to System Setting. This morning when I sat down to resume the project, both input and output had changed to Background Music. I'm going to uninstall Background Music, because of this PITA behaviour, and see if things settle down. In croke79's case, if they are still using Zoom, that wouldn't appear to be an option. The question for me is: Why does Logic allow these other apps to interfere with user chosen settings? It's *really* annoying.

I don't think it is. It's triggering an extra note while I'm holding that one note alone. Probably. I'll try an empty project. Will try that too. Thanks

Sorry I'm late back to this topic. I'm playing a single note, holding it down for a bar, then releasing it and playing another. As I mentioned before, in order to troubleshoot, I turned off the repeat function. Maybe I'm just going to have to accept this as a limitation of a qwerty keyboard when entering notes. It's too tempting when I want to get an idea in quickly. I generally don't have my midi controller plugged in and ready to go. Space is very limited with my 3000 LPs in the same room!

No ideas?

Same note, different length, same MIDI channel I think. I didn't take a lot of notice of it, as I could only get it to repeat once during that test. Just did another test, this time loads of repeating notes: 1. position: repeats immediately after 1st note 2. length: 1st note length "0 1 0", 2nd repeated note is the length until I release the key 3. MIDI channel is 1. All notes in test are same channel. 4. Repeating notes key: A spread from E2 up to E3 5. It happens more often when I play a run of notes that overlap each other. If I play slowly, one note at a time, it doesn't seem to happen.

I did. See above. I said "Re Event List: I just tried a test and out of about 50 notes I played, only one repeated. The next time it happens more than a few times, I'll get the info. "

p.s. I'm now getting notifications again! Which is nice.

Cautious? No I played the same as always. Template corruption? I didn't know that was possible. But wouldn't there be other signs of corruption? In my case there are no other signs. As I said, I turned off the auto repeat on the keyboard settings. Next time it happens, I'll post more info. Thanks

OK, so MIDI echo off the list of possibles. Re Event List: I just tried a test and out of about 50 notes I played, only one repeated. The next time it happens more than a few times, I'll get the info. I usually start from a custom template. Why would that be relevant? Many thanks for persevering with this. I'm starting to wonder if it could be sticky keys on my keyboard.

Is it possible I'm having a MIDI echo problem as described below? "When you select the interface (project settings>Midi>Instrument Without Mid Thru function), you must toggle one channel in and out of Live Mode in order for the change to be realized. I have confirmed it does work and will disable Midi Thru for one or the entire port if selected. However if you just select the interface from the dropdown and either via listening or with a midi monitor - still hear or see the notes being sent out from Logic to the interface - just toggle the record button on one of the tracks ( if it's a port) or the track with the channel you are trying to disable (if its only one channel you want to disable) and Voila! - Midi thru is disabled.
