pitch bend doing wierd thngs in logic pro x when i playback midi files. the sounds go all over place when the midi has pitch bend in it, never had problem on logic 9 with exactly same midi files. anyone have any ideas on how to fix. i can delete the pitch bend messages but it ruins the dynamics of the playing, especially guitar and bass tracks.
thanks
Logic Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
The amount of pitchbend is almost always a setting on the software instrument itself, independent of the value of the messages. If pitchbend was recorded when the instrument was set to -1/+1 semitones, it will sound "all over the place" if the software instruments' PB range is set to -2/+2 or -7/7 or -12/36 even. So you have to set the right interval on the instrument.
i worked out the problem , i needed to turn off midi mono mode in the esx24. for some reason the new instrument library has some instruments with the mono midi mode set to on by default.
it does make a big difference, i have compared it, the sounds work normal when mono midi mode is set to off. cheers
Afaik the mono mode has nothing to do with pitch bend. pitch anomalies could stem from Portamento or Glide settings on the instrument(s) themselves, which do not have/need corresponding MIDI messages. Chances are also, that there's a MIDI message somewhere at the start of your MIDI file(s) that invokes mono mode (MIDI CC 126). Open the Event List (shortcut: E) to check that, and optionally delete it.
these are commercial midi file purchased from various sites. what would be the standard setting they would use eg 12
Most common are -2 and +2 (a whole tone), but it also might be -1 and +1 (i.e. sampled guitar) - just try settings until they sound right.
how do i input these settings into logic pro x? thanks
