Mac Mini For Logic Pro X
Julia Heaslet
My Akai MPK Mini has a tap tempo button for the arpeggiator. I've never tried to sync anything before, and was having a lot of trouble figuring it out. I thought I got it right, but looked like if Logic was slaved to the MPK, then I couldn't use Logic's transport controls, and the MPK doesn't have any.
You could then use Logic's tap tempo key command which you could trigger from a pad in the MPK mini. (For this you'll need to set Logic to respond to external sync in the project's settings, and use the Lear New Assignment button in the key commands window. If you assign a note sent from a pad in the MPK, you should delete the velocity value from the assignment so that it responds to any velocity value).
Actually, I think it would be more convenient to simply assign a key on your computer keyboard to the tap tempo command. That way you won't have to remove the velocity out of the assignment, and you could always use thta function it even if you don't have the MPK mini plugged in.
I've got an mpk mini, and I'd like to play software instruments using it, specifically mapping drums to the pads and other instruments to the keys. I'm a complete noob when it comes to midi controllers so I could use all the help I can get.
Typically, on a MIDI Controller, keys and pads both send MIDI note events. You can check this by hitting a key or a pad on your keyboard and looking at the MIDI In monitor in Logic: it should display a little note icon and a few numbers after that.
Control-click the Control bar at the top of your main window and choose Customize Control Bar and Displays. In the LCD column select "Custom" and click OK. The MIDI In display reads "No In" when no MIDI data is incoming.
So the MPK sends MIDI data to Logic, the MIDI notes can be recorded on the software instrument track. When playing the notes, and/or upon playback, the MIDI data you play or the MIDI data read from the track is routed to the software instrument on the channel strip. That software instrument triggers sounds depending on the MIDI data it receives. That sound is routed to the inserts on the software instrument channel strip, then through the fader, then the pan, then the output fader.
Nearly 100% here, you mentioned a snare being mapped to D1 and in order to map it to a pad I could change that pad to D1 in the mpk software. Im confused how I'd be able to tell it was mapped to D1 in the first place, can I see this information for each individual piece of a drum kit?
I've tried going into the preferences and deleting the default library preference file as recommended on the help pages here (the last logic X update stopped audio recording through my XLR Scarlett interface, and this sorted the problem) but nothing seems to work to get the MIDI keyboard to work as a controller.
I've tried going to the controller assignments window and my keyboard is listed there in italics. When I click 'Add' or 'Scan' nothing happens. I think as some point a help box popped up saying something about devices labelled in italics and having to do something with them manually - but my Akai MPK Mini doesnt have any drivers to reinstall - it just connects via USB...
Make sure you select an External MIDI track in question. These tracks are intended for sending MIDI parts to external instruments (hardware synths, samplers, drum-machines, and so on). Makes sure you have Inspector enabled (a section of the Logic window on the left side, which displays parameters for a track selected in Tracks area) by clicking on the "i" icon in the upper left corner of Logic's window. What you have to do is unfold the track parameter box (orange arrow on the screenshot) and then choose another port (red arrow). Only External MIDI tracks have the port setting, so it should be easy to identify and correct the offending track.
I successfully used a small 2mm Allen key to detach the logic board. You shouldn't use anything tightly fitting, since, from what I understand, it's a levering action: fixed point is at the bottom of the case while the two holes in the logic board move to the back (connectors side). You can even get away with a single key/screw driver, if you alternate carefully.
The Allen key is used to gain leverage to hold the logic board so you can ease it out. I prefer the proper tool Mac mini Logic Board Removal Tool that way its safer from slipping which could damage your logic board.
Review this guide Mac mini Late 2012 Logic Board Replacement jump down to Step 15 which shows what's needed using the tool. The guide will weals you through the needed screws and other connections which need to be dealt with before sliding out the logic board.
Hallo Arduino people,
Forgive my ignorance, I'm a software developer and don't know much about electronics (yet). I hope you can help me, I've search the internet long enough already without finding answers.
I've also noticed a 3.3v pin, in some diagrams also used to connect logic level shifter.
Question 2: What's this pin for? Is it input and/or output?
Question 3: Why would the logic shifter need to have both 5v and 3.3v connected? To close the circuit?
Question 1: Is this pin INput only?

On Arduino boards where the microcontroller runs at 5 V (e.g. Uno), the 3.3V pin could be considered output only because it is being supplied directly from a 3.3 V voltage regulator (or a 3.3 V output pin on the USB chip in some cases). However, the ESP8266 microcontroller on the D1 Mini is running at 3.3 V so you can also supply it with 3.3 V via the 3.3V pin.
I want to use akai apc mini mk2 for logic. I can assign simple triger and LED feedback.
But I can to use like launchpad. Especially launchpad has midi preset in logic. So I want to use apc like launchpad by convert midi signal.
There may more variations and each have their own button and feedback mappings.
Also in addition to buttons, The APC MINI has faders which are not available on any of the Launchpads. What do you want to do with them.
A project of this proportion would not be a candidate for free support but I can help get you started. The strategy would be to map each button that the APC MINI sends to a different note number used by the target Launchpad. Then map the LED response that Logic sends to the target Launchpad to the required LED note number.
This could be set up as individual translators for each button (with no translator rules) or set up with rules in a single translator (each way) which would require button mapping logic in the rules of the translator.
Again, I can provide assistance by example of a few button/led maps once I know which Launchpad model you have as part of free support. If you want a full solution, that would be paid support and you can either PM or email me for an estimate.
Are you building a computer for gaming? And you want it to not take up too much space on your desk? Then of course you need a well-thought-out, well-designed and good-looking MINI ATX-sized case. Preferably still one with three mounted ARGB fans, an airy front and top, dust filters, and the side panel was made into a tempered glass door. This is where Case Logic Concept Portos ARGB MINI comes to the rescue. A concrete competitor for gaming tasks, providing good airflow, component culture, their safety and low temperatures of installed components.
An airy front and top panel significantly facilitates air circulation. Two 120 mm fans on the front and one 120 mm fan on the back Cases effectively cool the heated components. All for your comfort and the safety of your computer.
The ability to mount graphics cards up to 340 mm and a maximum CPU cooling height of 155 mm allows the installation of most high-performance components available on the market.
Convenient access to the top panel, and there are two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 connectors, plus one minijack connector for headphones and microphone, a power button and a button to control the fan backlight.
A gaming computer must have a good and powerful power supply. That's why we made sure that it has a home here! The maximum length of the power supply with the disk cage installed is 200 mm.
I have been inundated with ads and glowing reviews about this Hot Logic Mini for use in the truck. I do not currently have anything to cook or reheat with in the truck. I have never cared for microwaves but am not opposed to them but this product sounds like it would be nice if it really works as it says. I am not opposed to paying $40 to find out if it is any good or not (have spent more money on worse things) but just curious about anyone who has actually used one. Thanks.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
It isn't really comparable to a microwave. It is much slower and can't do everything a microwave can do. On the other hand, what it does do, it does better. It is ideal for reheating previously cooked food. Sometimes, I'll order a large meal at a restaurant when I'm by a good one, and put half of it in a foil container of the proper size and stick that in the fridge. In fact, I've just done that very thing. There was a good steakhouse across the street from the truck stop for the night, so I took one of my containers with me and put half in it. The day after tomorrow, I'll be parking at my consignee , so that morning I'll stick the meal in the Hot Logic and it will be ready whenever I am. I microwave would ruin the meal.
