Nice that they followed up with a point release so soon. Have they staffed up?

Well, it's WWDC on June 10th. Maybe they want to make sure things are nailed down before they make their A.I. announcements?

@FPC : So the easiest way to sample straight from YouTube is Koala is what you’re saying then? Or I guess one could sign up for YouTube premium where any video could be dropped into a file in LP for iPad and then go from there?

Yes I just use the screen recording function on the iPad to grab what I want and then use Import Video on Koala to grab the audio.
Using Logic's stem splitter rather than Koala's is another step but it's not too bad.
Not sure what YouTube premium gives you?? Does it let you have the audio as a download??

We have received a number of reports that in Logic 2 for iOS/iPadOS, Software Instruments with their own keyboard will not record to a track. After investigating we learned that Software Instruments with their own keyboard need to be configured to send MIDI to the track. The video below shows how to do this;

Huh? Has this changed already? Can't find this option under MIDI In Channel...

You'll find it under 'Internal Midi In' where you choose Instrument Output and the track that hosts the GeoShred instance you wish to record.

Aha, gotcha. Thanks Samu

We received dozens of reports that recording GeoShred (and other instruments, SWAM, Moog) no longer worked in LP2i. We don't know why they changed the default. If you create an instance of an instrument then certainly you want to record it. It just feels lame that this default was changed.

Recording? Do you mean MIDI or audio?

Great video! My early sub is coming up and whilst I do like the workflow and tools in Logic for iPad I'm finding it hard to think I would have paid 120 (AUD) for 2 years, 180 for 3 and so on. I work in Logic on desktop and use the iPad to flesh out initial ideas that usually get finished on desktop. For that purpose I'm finding it hard to justify $60 a year when I could probably get the basics done on iPad in Cubasis. In a perfect world (no budget limits!) Logic for iPad would be my weapon of choice on iPad. It's a quandary I tells you!

With the new studio piano is there a dampening pedal option? I can’t seem to find it….maybe they only think people play loud.

I see that nobody here have answer your question…

With Dampening pedal, do you mean Damper Pedal?
Often the Sustain Pedal is called Damper Pedal, and, is that what’s you’re after?

Whatever - everything can be automated, and the pedals on both Grands and uprights are available…

Thanks. Yep, not the sustain pedal as that is there on the keyboard. I have recently found that the middle pedal on an actual physical piano has a lot of magic in it, but I can’t find the equivalent pedal in the piano plugin in Logic. I want to play it as I hear it rather than automate the pedal afterwards.

If I understand you here, you wanna to use more than one pedal (Sustain) when you play on the screen keyboard in Logic Pro?

If you have Pianoteq v8 you can play onscreen with all four pedals presented in the piano world…

Mountain_Hamlet

@HolyMoses yes, Pianoteq has these things. I was interested to know if I had missed something with the Logic offering. Thank you for your suggestions. I appreciate you replying to my question.

To summarize this: you wanna access the damper function on the touch interface of Logic Pro and use it ”live”?
The Damper is there on Apples Studio Pianos, but can only be used with external MIDI controller, or, thru the track automation…

Yes. We should be able to at least tap it on and off. If it’s available everywhere else then why not in the GUI? The sustain pedal is available at the touch of a button.

Perhaps you put an email in Apples Logics mailbox and demand this!

Does Logic use midi keyboard /controllers with sustain or demp pedals ?

Logic doesn’t use them, we are (if some irony is ok a friday evening)…

Is the question about support for pedals?

yellow_eyez

I guess if it doesn’t use them, the question is not valid for the pedal lol
Thanks for the reply
