Define Custom Bank Messages... crashes Logic Pro X 10.0.5

Hi all,

Having a devil of a time setting up patch names for my Proteus 2000 in Logic Pro X 10.0.5. The Proteus 2000 requires a custom bank message format to access all of its banks over MIDI, so in the MIDI Environment I select its multi-instrument and then Options -> Define Custom Bank Messages.... EVERY time I do this Logic crashes, the custom bank messages window never opens. (The same thing happens if I right-click the multi-instrument and select Define Custom Bank Messages... from the contextual menu.) (Partial crash log below.)

I have tried switching off my MIDI modules and disconnecting my MIDI interface, just to see if it's a hardware issue, but to no avail. I have got to this window before, in an earlier version of Logic Pro X, so I'm wondering if it's a bug with 10.0.5. Any more suggestions of things to try?

(I'm running a 2012 Mac Mini with Mac OS X 10.8.5, Logic Pro X 10.0.5, and a Cakewalk UM-2G MIDI interface.)

Hi Sven,

I am using an external module/sequencer MidJay made by Ketron. I can see the contents of of the hard disk on my mac but I cannot identify a master setup. How does one dump the master setup onto SysEx?

Your help is much appreciated

Hi Tenayo,

In the SysEx Librarian you hit the Record button. Then, on the MidJay you should find and activate some function to dump your multi-mode setup, ie. each MIDI channel's program, volume, pan. I don't know about the MidJay but typically this function is called "dump master setup" or "dump multi setup".

Note that for this to work the MIDI-out of your MidJay needs to be connected to a MIDI-in of your Mac.

Hope this helps,

Sven

For what it's worth, I use the MIDI event list to manually insert CC#0 or CC#32 events as needed to make the appropriate bank changes. This is probably the only work-around that I can think of if doing custom bank work.
