Master Advanced Logic Pro MIDI Editing: Patch Changes and Modulation

My name is Paul Andrews and I run a small company called Audio Support. Every day, I remotely connect with musicians all over the world to help them with their studio equipment.

This afternoon I connected with a composer in Suffolk, England with a large collection of hardware synthesisers in their home studio. They are using Logic Pro on an Intel Mac and the system is running smoothly. Last week I solved a problem for them that involved the arpeggiated data coming from a Moog Muse and how it is recorded in Logic Pro and then transmitted back to the Muse.

This week, my client and I connected again to answer some questions about advanced features in Logic Pro.

How do I fix the length of MIDI notes I’ve recorded in Logic Pro?

I explained to my client how to do this using the Functions Menu inside Logic Pro’s Piano Roll Editor

How do I edit modulation data recorded into Logic Pro?

I showed my client that there were a number of ways to edit modulation data (and any other CC information sent from his synths) but the simplest method that I would use would be to use the lower lane of the Piano Roll editor. I showed my client how to find this and the various tools that were available for MIDI CC editing.

Is it possible to make the patches on my synths change automatically when I load a Logic Pro project?

I showed my client how it is possible to set bank and program information inside Logic’s External MIDI instrument plug-in. My client found this very helpful as he would no longer need to manually set ten patch changes on his synths when he changed which song he is working on.

If you would like to connect with a Logic Pro expert for an hour to answer your questions or offer technical support for any aspect of the software, please Get in Touch.

Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently.  He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support -
Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms.
Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again.
