cooneypiano Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I've been trying to use the PX-5S in Logic Pro as a controller keyboard. When using the string software instruments such as "Cinema Strings" the PX-5S does not handle changes in articulations correctly. When I try to change the articulation in Logic to "Pizz" the PX-5S plays back both "pizz" and "legato" articulations. This does not happen with my standard Oxygen midi controller. Somehow the px-5s is triggering multiple articulations at the same time. How do I turn fix this? I have discussed with Apple Tech Support and confirmed that it is an issue with my controller and not Logic. I would very much like to use the Casio for my only studio controller rather than having multiple keyboards set-up in my office. Thanks for any advice!

sslyutov Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Normally each articulation (regardless a model of a controller) is an individual instrument. When you hear pizzicato and legato simultaneously it should be two instruments on two different channels. Am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'll bet a nickel that it's two layers enabled in the control setup. I assume that muted layers don't send MIDI, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Try these two things. Use factory stage setting 0-0 Concert grand. That's a stage setting with only 1 zone active. I'll bet that's the problem. If it's not, also turn off high resolution MIDI out under system settings>MIDI. Some software isn't supporting that standard yet and can be the source of issues. I don't know where Logic stands on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooneypiano Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks Brad. That solved the problem! I didn't even need to turn off the high-res MIDI. I just needed to use a stage setting with only 1 active zone. Good to know! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
