janzalone Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi, I have a CDP-120 that I am using with the latest version of Logic 9. When recording, all of the notes and sustain pedal CC info can be correctly found in the Media Region / Events list on channel 1. For some reason, the sustain pedal CC info is being duplicated on channel 2 at the exact same location (measure & beat) as seen on channel 1. The end result is a very messy Events list with extra CC info that doesn't need to be there. Is there a way to manage the channel settings on this instrument? Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The CDP-120 unfortunately does this automatically in case two sounds are layered together. There is not a way to disable this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Couldn't you set Logic to only record what is coming in on MIDI Channel 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janzalone Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi Mike, Thanks for the response. I have found one area in Logic where you can define the channel, but it doesn't change this behavior. If you area familiar with Logic can you tell me the best way to make sure that I have it set up correctly? By default, the Midi channel in the inspector column is set to "any" I have tried setting that to 1. No change.I have gone into preferences>Midi but I don't see anything there to define the channel setting,I have gone under settings>Midi, and there is nothing there.I would think that it would be found in the transform area, but it's not there either. Any help would be great. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Another option might be to tell it to filter out the unwanted data. I'm sure there's a way to do it, even though I don't know offhand. For instance, this video is for Logic Pro X but it might lead you to how to do it in your version. http://logic-tips.com/midi/logic-pro-x-video-tutorial-31-midi-input-filter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janzalone Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hey Joe, Thanks for the help! I have actually already tried what he covers in this video. The concept makes sense, but it doesn't let you perform a "fine tuned" filter. It only allows you to filter out CC info. So when you do turn on the CC filter you loose the sustain pedal completely. The midi input filter doesn't seem to get down to the level that I'm after. If I could filter out channel two then it might be the solution. I must be overlooking something. I'm a piano player and sort a newbie when it comes to electronic music and midi instruments. I have tried chaining the channel that the midi instrument is set to, but it always records to channel 1 regardless. Can anyone help me set a midi instrument to a specific channel in Logic 9 as Mike recommended above? I can't seem to change it. Maybe I'm not understanding the principles. It might help me find the answer if I can at least get that part figured out. I know that this ins't a Logic forum, but maybe someone has the same issue.

Joe Muscara Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sorry, I don't use Logic enough to know. I suspect that with some web searching, you might find your answer. It might be buried here, or lead you to it. http://www.logic-users-group.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
