9.1.4 Sync Issue

Yep, that's consistent with what I see.

What basically happens is the LFO runs fine for a while, then trips and adds half the set value so now the lfo waveform is offbeat - ie, at 1/4, it will add an eighth before returning to quarters on the offbeats now, and with 16ths it will add a 32nd etc - and these "trips" continue every once in a while - with 16th notes, it generally happens every four to eight bars or so, and with longer durations it takes longer for each trip to occur.\

But it basically makes any tempo synced patches essentially useless... I'll probably be dropping back to 9.1.3 until we get a fix...

for sure!.. i went back now to 9.1.3, everything is working as usual.

Same problem here, very irritating! Had to go back to LogicPro 9.1.3.

I've got this problem as well. I had a project with three ES2s with lfos synced to 1/4 notes... after upgrading the LFOs oscillate at the same frequency but not synced to the beat. I made a preset of the patch, and after reinstantiating the patch it works on first playback for a time but falls out of sync. On second playback, it's back to 1/4 note frequency but not synced to the beat (or the 1/8th note, or 1/16th... it's starting somewhere in between the first and second sixteenths).

I tried older versions of the sequence to no avail, but opening it in 9.0.0 worked just fine.

I really don't know how something this critical could be let through. I sincerely hope Apple takes this seriously and release a hotfix. I mean, all songs with synced ES2's will all be out of sync now, basically work all ruined.

This is crazy.😠

I hear you. I hope they come up witha fix soon as well. I have the ES2 on qute a few of my projects! :/

Same problems here. All ES2 synced projects are ruined. I REALLY don't want to reinstall all package back to 9.1.3 just because of this bug... But at the moment it seems the only option, how sad...

By the way, I've found one workaround, it's annoying but nothing more to do.

So, start the song, and then open up each and every ES2, travel from macro to midi mode (or vice versa) and press "compare" button at the top. ES2 will go back to sync, but only for that single play. If you stop - you'll have to do that again. Annoying really, I hope Apple will take that seriously.

What exactly do you mean by "travelling from macro to midi mode"?

Edit: never mind, I got it. Now let's see if that can be automated somehow - though I suspect it can't....

It's pointless anyway (why should you spend your time automating useless things...), unless it's very important and you don't have time to reinstall/downgrade Logic to 9.1.3. But I haven't figured out how to automate this anyway.

Hmm i still have the 9.1.3 updater. 9.1.4 fixed so many things though.

I am about to do a system reinstall anyway as i have just formatted, i think probably the best thing to do at this stage is just go to 9.1.3 and wait till 9.1.5

Where is that bug fix list of 9.1.4 again? I know it fixed automation stuff and the pause issue dammit.

Here's a workaround :

Bus to audio. Then while recording to audio, switch ES2 to previous setting, and back to original setting.(do this during a blank measure prior to the start of your sequence)

This will keep it in sync

This is such balogna! I updated a couple of weeks ago, right before I moved for the summer across the country and just brought enough equipment to continue my work. I just opened up a song to work on tonight and found my song completely ruined by the upgrade!! I didn't bring my Time Machine HD or Logic install discs with me for my 3 mos stay, so now I'm just STUCK until they get a fix out!! I'm really frustrated; this is not a minor issue! The "Faster Thoughts" instrument in the ES2 is JACKED. What am I to do? AVOID ES2 altogether for the rest of this project?! Please fix this quickly! Does anyone know how to revert to 9.1.3 without a time machine backup or install discs? I guess I could have my wife mail them out to me... WHAT A JOKE!

Guys, it's worse than I thought...

Instrument called "Cirquit Dialog" is out sync too, and it's not ES2 based instrument. It's not even Logic Pro instrument (it's Garage Band synth, "GarageBand->Synth Basics->Circuit Dialog"...

This update is awful..

EDIT: However it is a stripped down ES2, my bad.

Correct - almost all of the Garageband "synth" instruments are derivatives of the ES2, and are thus also affected by this bug. Digital Stepper is another one that's particularly bad, as one of it's key features is rhythmically synced LFO-based effects.

Apple are aware of the issue, and hopefully it won't be too long before we get some kind of fix... until then, I'm sticking with 9.1.3...

first i searched for a 9.1.3 logic update from a torrent page.

then i tossed logic 9.1.4 from my application's folder to the trash.

i run the installation software, and I only ticked on install logic so i unticked on libraries,apple loops, and stuff

while installing the upgrade, it asked for the original installation disk, so i put the disk in, and from there the installation was done like in 30 min.

im back in 9.1.3. and everything works fine.
