Staleyolk Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hey guys Im just wondering what to do about this. Its not crippling to my workflow but it is a nuisance to have a message popping up about two pieces of gear that I don't even own anymore. (Old interface, Old keyboard) In fact none of those pieces of gear were ever used or had their drivers installed on my current production computer. The message just pops up on old projects (that are not done yet ) from when i had that setup. Now do I have to delete something in the environment like the midi path it suggests? I would not go in and delete anything there on my own without advice btw, or is there a message prompt log where I can delete it there. That fantastic little "Don't show again" check box does absolutely nothing. -Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted September 19, 2011 Solution Share Posted September 19, 2011 Open the project, open the environment, go to the MIDI Inst. layer (or maybe the instrument is in another layer) and delete the multi-instrument called "TR SOUND". Save the project. If this happens on your templates, do the same for your templates - and save them again without those instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3m4nt Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Here's another issue, I'm getting the alert: Instrument “Pro40 MIDI” sends to a MIDI port named “MIDI” of MIDI interface “Pro40” which no longer exists. I'm using a Saffire Pro 40 pre and am not seeing evidence of it in the Environment Window - even when viewing with MIDI layer. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Cai Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hello David my pop up says: "sends to audio-interface C600 which no longer exists" ... My first 2 steps were those you had already recommended above ... whilst in Preferences/Audio the new interface (Motu 828es) is set ... any idea where I can disable the C600? ... thanks loads! cheers!

David Nahmani Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 my pop up says: "sends to audio-interface C600 which no longer exists" ... Can you share the exact text of the pop-up, or better yet share a screenshot of the alert window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cai Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi David! thanks for your superquick response! You Catched me I quoted wrong .. but anyways I could not find the C600 in the "environment" or at "control surfaces" ... so here my screenshot: thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 anyways I could not find the C600 in the "environment" or at "control surfaces" ... so here my screenshot: thanks Great, thanks, so yes that points to the same instructions as I posted earlier here: viewtopic.php?p=697228#p391984 – those will definitely help you solve the issue, but you need to figure out where the process fails... can you find the "MIDI Instr." layer?

Cai Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 thanks David. I checked all environment layers three times (icons and text wise) ... cant find any "Fast Track C600" ... aaaah hold on ... "METRONOM" ... did it ... aaaah stupid me ... I over read the most important word "metronom"... changed its port to "828es" ... now Logic does not complain anymore ... thanks mate! next drink is on me!

If those devices are no longer in use follow David's instructions. If the mentioned devices are still in use (and connected as it seems what you are stating), check in your AMS that they are detected. If your "SPD" devices requires drivers, make sure those are up to date. In both cases, also ensure that your cables are reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locate the instrument in the MIDI Instr. layer (or whatever layer of the environment the instrument is in) and in the Inspector choose the correct MIDI port for that instrument. Then save the project again to commit to that new choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flonky Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I always get those messages when I launch Logic but my Hardware Synths are switched off. Can I prevent Logic from "scanning" the MIDI-Instruments at startup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunwortis Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 For me the Inspector shows no MIDI port information for any tracks at all. I get the "MIDI port no longer exits" message with every recording. On the other hand I'm not clear what "MIDI Instr. layer (or whatever layer of the environment the instrument is in)" means. Is an "instrument layer" a 'track'? HELLO guys.

shaunwortis Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 OK. I've solved this. Will try to make it clear for all others: 1. Use the key command ⌘0 (zero). This will launch the MIDI environment window, or will tell you that you must have "MIDI" checked in the "Advanced" tab in Logic Pro Preferences. This setting does not appear to be on by default but one can make a mess of MIDI nevertheless. 2. After enabling "MIDI" in the "Advanced" tab in Logic Pro Preferences, the MIDI Environment window can be opened (via ⌘0 (zero) or the new option in the "Window" menu). 3. In the MIDI Environment window, there is a non-visible menu next to "Layer" in the left panel, which will be visible when hovering over "All Objects". Change that menu to "MIDI Inst." and the list of MIDI instruments will show. 4. Delete the no longer existing MIDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVoodoo Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hey, so I'm fairly new to using logic pro and it's software, so I'm not sure where the environment is or how to resolve this issue. I tried to do a few things to fix this issue, but I can't figure it out. I just want to finish a song XD Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
