MIDI issues with LOGIC PRO X and KORG synthesizer

The problem : I have three failed choices. My synthesizer is connected to Logic. I can only hear what I record in the speakers of my synthesizer.


1 - Make a audio track. Record my melody into logic from the synthesizer. Playback (on mac) a poor quality recording. THE PROS: This track is savable and I can move it around in the tracks.

2- Make a software instrument track. Choose (in my inspector) the external plugin as KORG CHROME. I record - and bam! My playback ONLY plays through the speakers connected to my synthesizer. NOTHING in my mac's speakers plays any sound. I can't SAVE or BOUNCE this track. Nothing shows up but a lonely metronome. Additionally, if I was playing a Grand piano and switch to drums (making a new software instrument track below the original Grand Piano) Logic chooses to play only Drums or Piano.

3- MAke a External Midi track. I choose my synthesizer. I get the same results as option 2.


PLEASE help. I've been at this for four days

I have LOGIC PRO X 10.1

I have a mac Yosemite.

Hi Adam,


Yes.. Go into iTunes Preferences > Advanced tab and uncheck the "Share iTunes Library XML....." option


Restart both Logic and iTunes after doing this and you should be good to go..


Personally I just bounce to an external HD as a wave file (so I have a clean backup) instead and then drag and drop onto the iTunes icon in the dock to import into iTunes...


But if you need toor prefer the 'automatic' shortcut way that is apparently the current fix


Note: I actually haven't had a problem bouncing directly to iTunes since I updated LPX to 10.2 along with the latest iTunes update (v12.3.0.44) but maybe it's still buggy for some people.


Anyhow, glad you got your last issue fixed 🙂


Cheers..


Nigel
