Logic Pro 9 Logic Instruments Out Of Tune?

[highmarcs]

I'm a brand new user to Logic and I'm very fond of the chord memorizer function. However, within the first 24 hours of using it, I don't know if I'll be able to use Logic at all. The problem is, I program some chords in and things seem a little off tuning wise, but not greatly. I close the program and open things up later in the day and my chords seem to play back with WILDLY different notes in them. Everything is severely out of tune or transposed or seemingly on entirely different notes.

Is this just me? Has anyone heard of this? I need to see if this is happening to third party instruments in Logic.

I'd suggest looking around the Environment and seeing if there's a transformer or other environment object changing the MIDI notes from one note to another. If there aren't any, try inputting notes via programming (on the piano roll, score editor, etc). If that works, then the issue might be in your hardware MIDI controller.

HTH,

- Check your settings for micro tunings (song preferences > tuning)
- The Chord Memorize is my fav too - but it can only be programmed in one octave and when you play these chords will be implemented into other octaves where you feed it a "directing source note"

I think Orren is pointing you down the right path. What keyboard controller are you using (or other controllers)? I've seen old controllers (more than once) generate random pitch bend events. It seems to be a not uncommon symptom of keyboard controllers going bad. Look in your event list and see if there is any errant CC or pitch bend data there that could be causing this. Try disconnecting your keyboard controller when playing back.
