Midi Sound?

Jul 19th, 2010, 09:17

Hello, Well I'm ready to create music and I am able to record my flute, however my midi keyboard doesn't have any sound. I have my earphones plugged into the m-audio and the keyboard plugged into the hard drive. Any suggestions. I am using a mac and logic express 7. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Roz

Hi Roz, I need a bit more info to understand the issue here... What kind of MIDI keyboard are you using? Is it 1. a MIDI Controller (doesn't contain it's own onboard sounds - can trigger sound on an Audio Instrument track in Logic)... or: 2. a MIDI Keyboard with it's own onboard sounds? If (2.) Create a new MIDI track in Logic and you should be able to record the MIDI notes from the keyboard to the track. The sound will need to be routed from the keyboard to a speaker. If you wish you can connect the output from the MIDI Keyboard to the M-Audio sound card's input(s). Now in Logic create an Audio track and set the input to correspond with the Inputs on the M-Audio. Record ready the track and you should be able to hear sound. Hope that helps Rounik

Rounik, Ok, it's all coming back to me. I forgot that I had to create a sound. How do I loop a fragment? Also, where do I go to change the key. I think I remember I had to go to the top and create dots and move the sound up and down accordingly. You are a great help! Thanks Roz

Hi Roz, To loop a region press 'L' on your keyboard or position your mouse cursor at the top right of the region edge and the pointer turns into a loop tool. Drag to the right to create loops of that region. To change the key, you can open Global Tracks and in the Signature section you can change the key. Hope that helps Rounik
