Logic 5.5 Always Resets My Synths back2The1st Patch

This has been happening since day 1... I try and assign my softsynths to midi files and I find the patch that I want and everything.... But when I press play it goes back to the very first patch.
How do I keep Logic 5.5 from sending this reset message? It is impossible to get anything done when it keeps doing this.
Can someone tell me how I deactivate this reset message?
ThankU!!! |

So you read the manual from your original purchased version and bought 4 books about logic and didn't find anything about something this simple. I'd definately recommend a pair of glasses or quit being a liar.
Try deactivating chase events in midi options (song preferences)
and check you don't have program cc (prg) selected in the arrange window. |

show me where i said i read the manual...
show me where i said i read 4 books on logic....... oh wait... you've probably already clicked the link... you're about to bust me.... but... oh no... that's right... i said i bought 4 books... and i just tried to help someone who asked specifically "books about logic audio?" so i let that person know... hey there ARE some books on logic... and these are the ones i purchased... here are the links for you... and i shared that information with him... which was.. here are some books... not.. here are these books that i've studied and i've read every single one and know them off by heart.. cuz if he had have ever asked me, or you, i woulda said " i have only ready halfway through 1 of the books"
so I'm a liar huh? how come it's so difficult to just provide the help without trying to call someone out like this... which in the end turns out not to be true at all.
you know as well as i do how difficult logic audio is... there is only so much i'm going to be able to locate in the manual or in these books at one time... sure, right now i could sit here for a few weeks and read every book or the manual until i come across that section.... but i need to know this right now... so i come here to ask for someones help since i can't go off looking for it when it's called a "chase event" which i've never heard of before. i woulda had to have been psychic which woulda meant that i coulda solved my own problem by myself.
i appreciate you lending the help... you can say whatever you want to me just as long as you help out in the end than i couldn't be happier...
thanx man, really appreciate it you lying sack of =)
LoL everything should go with an insult these days before providing assitance... my grandma fell down the stairs this morning and before I helped her up i kicked her in the ribs.. and before she hugged me and thanked me she smashed a framed picture over my head of me and her feeding a flock of swans pizza crust when i was 7. |

Call me a sack of all you want but not a liar ;)
If that didn't work nobody will be able to help you.
I never had any problems with my softsynths/hardw synths using logic. Just make some defaults with all the right settings and off you go. |

" Call me a sack of all you want but not a liar " hahaha lol
can i ask for some help without being attacked this time? :/ j/k feel free to berate the outta me!! lol... i just wanna get this solved.
logic is an incredibly vast program.. you can at least give me that... whether you think im a total retard or not... this program can humble the smartest most perceptive people.
anyways... i think you mean to goto Options -> Song Settings -> Chase Events? And/Or Midi Options.......?
I think you want me to unclick the squares that are selcted in the chase events tab? but not sure if there was something I needed to do in Midi Options. or you just had the path slightly confused and all I needed to do was go straight to the chase events tab?
well... it appears to have worked... wow, i surprised myself that i found the right path LOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLL.. i was sure i was probably in the wrong place.
Thanks dezma!!!!!!!!!!
i wonder what the purpose of chase events is now :/ but at the same time i'm glad to have gotten rid of them =) |

Select the midi track, open the event editor, delete everything that isa not a note event.
There you go. Has nothing to do with logic... it's just plain midi.:toothless |

| MIDIs can have more than just notes and velocities written to them - they can also have patch settings. Remove the patch settings and the MIDI will no longer change your patch. |

When you change your locator it makes the sequencer chase the events that would be essential to the playback on that point. (like sysex data, pitch bend data, mod wheel, etc)
It's in song settings > midi options > chase events
there you have the symbols of the events you want to be chased or not.
Make sure you don't change patches when you re in record mode.
You can have the program changes deleted in the event editor all you want, if logic tells the sw synth to choose that patch it will change so you should search in the sequencer. You have to be sure that in the arrangement you UNCHECKED the prg box, otherwise it will allways send program changes |

If your midi programming was done right, you shouldn't need to deactivate chasing (only maybe for sysex, as that usually needs to be read once).
I make it a habit when editing midi (I don't compose myself) to keep a little "initialisation space" at the beginning of the part/track, where initial program changes/controllers/vol/pan/etc... Are programmed.
Usually if you only use 1 instrument per track, chasing is indeed not essential. But once you get involved with more complicated stuff, chasing might come in handy (if you made a program change in the middle of the part, you want that particular program to play if you should locate after that event (otherwise it will stay at the previous setting).
Most midi files you find on the net and/or cd's or whatever have some kind of program changes set in the beginning of the part, to make sure it sounds decent even for people that only have a crappy soundcard with an integrated wavetable. If you want to assign your own stuff, make it a habit to clean the midi part out (you don't need to remove every controller! Otherwise you'll remove stuff like modulation etc. The particular events you should look for are program changes and banksel MSB/LSB). |

Just two things... he said, he used softhsyths and no external hardware. He said the patches of his synths were reset.
Only can use softsynths with audioinstruments. No "prg" checkbox here or rpgram setting here, so the midi data has to do the programchange. ;) |
