- Logic version
- 11.1
- Mac OS
- 14.7.1
This used to work properly, but now...
Mapped instruments stopped working in my sessions and Apple Support has been telling me it's a legacy feature, yet it's still included in the manual (https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/logicpro/lgcp8535bc34/mac) and it's the only way I know of to map most third-party percussion effectively.
Basically the mapping connection to staff styles seems to have broken. See screenshot (Logic Staff Styles.png). C2 - kick drum seems to show up because it's the default kick key in Logic drum kits. C5, B4, A4, G4 completely disappear, possibly because they're not part of Logic's default drum map, as seen in the first staff region of "Drums". Any notes outside of Logic's default map disappear. They are on the same channel and show normally when switching to a single or dual staff style, but not with mapped styles. When I move the missing notes down to notes that are on Logic's default drum map they show up again, as in the second staff region of "Drums". I included a Logic kit SoCal for reference, with the same tom notes now mapped on to Logic's Tom High, Tom Mid, Tom Low, and Snare Rimshot (the latter disappears because snare is not in staff style)
What am I missing?
Screenshot
Edit: Possibly solved. Software instrument can't be directly mapped? Need to use external MIDI track that's reassigned to mapped instrument and shown in the score instead of the software instrument.
