Irregular MIDI Notes

Hello
I started up logic express 7.2 today, intending to do some MIDI work. But when I loaded up any virtual instrument and played a regular C scale on my keyboard, this is what it sounded like

Try the same using the Mac Keyboard (Caps Lock).

If it sounds right then you have some problem with your MIDI keyboard.

cheers

I think you've inadvertently selected a different scale type other than the equal temperament type we all normally use - you need to go into Song Settings (which I think is under the File menu). There are two radio buttons - normally 'equal temperament' or something similar is selected but if you hit the other button you can choose from a pretty extensive list of scale types. So just put it back to the other button and that should be it - a feature not used by many people I imagine, but worth trying for something like an oud sample with one of the middle eastern scales, for example.
