Integra-7 editor in Logic 9

Anyone else seeing the Roland Editor crashing Logic 9 ? I have removed it from my mixes until problem is addressed. I am loosing faith in the Integra I am afraid.

nope havent had a crash since Ive runned it, I have logic open 24hrs a day

It crashed several times with Reaper 4.2.2, and doesn't seem very reliable...
Anyway, I hardly use the editor as I prefer to control it from the iPad for quick adjusts, the front panel for MFX and the keyboard controllers for all the variations and most of the settings.

Similar problem / misunderstanding here:

I do not wish to change my audio input/output in Logic9, as I run the digital out from the Integra back to my audio input (Lynx aurora on Mac OSX10.7). The Integra is connected with USB.

I can use the preview button to test the USB connection on each Integra channel. It works,

I can edit synth parameters from the editor (on the software instrument track), but I can't change tone presets and browse the preset categories. I get this message: "CONNECTION ERROR / cannot receive midi message"

Of course, I set the editor MIDI devices options to 'Integra-7'

Pretty useless unless I get this sorted. Must I resort to MIDI cabling?

Thanks

Hmm... I now see that I can change the preset using the right menu. I'm back on track!

Although I still need external MIDI tracks in Logic which is a shame.

Hi guys
I am totally lost with getting my Integra 7 to work in Logic 9.

I am currently using a Korg Kronos which is plugged via USB to my iMac. In audio preferences in logic I simply set kronos as input and the output as the iMacs audio system. Simples and it works great.

My integra is also connected via USB and in an ideal world I would like to simply record from my integra into logic via an audio track.

Could someone be kind enough to explain how I should go about setting up my integra so at the very least I can get it to record into Logic (either by audio or midi)

Really can't work it out.

Thanks

I don`t have an mac but I know this....

Have you installed the Integra USB driver?
to use driver, you have to set the USB driver in System/Setup on the integra 7 from Generic to Vendor.
This is for audio! After this you should be able to set it up in audio preferences in logic!

Midi should work as soon as you connect the usb cable! Don`t know if that is how it works on an mac.
it works like that on PC anyway. check you midi preferences in logic.

Hope it helps!

1) No, no external midi track, see step 3: Create a software instrument track. There you can insert a plug-in named "external instrument" into the "I/O" slot (see pic 1).

2) Steps 2-6 are in Logic. The external instrument plug-in needs to know (a) to what midi port it has to send its MIDI data (= "MIDI destination") and (b) at which input it has to expect the returning audio data (= "Input") (see pic 2). Since INTEGRA-7 offers only one stereo audio output channel in its USB connection, it's "1-2".

Dear Sirs,

I have been attempting to do the above without any success.

A couple if things when I do so happen.

I don't have the option in settings to select the integra in 'Settings'. This appears in Preferences / Audio / Input Device, which I set to Integra 7 accordingly.

On creating a software instrument and selecting 'External Instrument' then clicking to get the blue tab, there isn't the option to select the Integra as the midi destination. Am I missing something here? The integra USB is all connected ok. Forgive me if I have missed something but shouldn't I need to create an audio track to record the integra's audio.

Many thanks in advance.

That's correct, it's "Preferences" instead of "Settings" (I run Logic in German and was lost in translation... ;-)

On creating a software instrument and selecting 'External Instrument' then clicking to get the blue tab, there isn't the option to select the Integra as the midi destination.

So you have the option to select a MIDI destination but you cant's select Integra 7? When you write "The Integra USB is all connected ok", does that mean that you are able to send MIDI data from a normal "External MIDI" track in Logic to I7 ? If yes, under what name does your I7 appear in Logic? That same name should also appear as one possible MIDI destination in the External Instrument plug-in.

Forgive me if I have missed something but shouldn't I need to create an audio track to record the integra's audio.

Nothing missed, nothing to forgive. Yes, if you want to record the I7's audio then you need an audio track. The software instrument track (which can only contain MIDI data) is needed if you want to listen to your I7's audio on that same track. In order to record the I7's audio you just use a normal MIDI track for the MIDI data you want to send to I7 and an audio track for the incoming sound.

Hi Hobbit and thanks for the prompt reply.

I thought it might have been a translation thing as I noticed your images were in German.

On the second point I can create and record and play back from an external instrument midi track. It appears as Integra-7. Oddly enough, I have just gone back to the mac and the integra 7 option has appeared as an external instrument as you have demonstrated and I don't appear to have done anything differently!

I have also managed to create an audio track as week.

How about that!

Many thanks.
