    I'm having a hard time following along based on how you've described your issue so far. Can you please take a screenshot of your VI setup (with the Control Edit tab active) and upload it to imgur.com (or a similar free image hosting site) so we can take a look?

    emspace, thanks; sorry not to have been clearer; thanks for your help; Cyril, Yes, have been through the video tutorials several times.

    I just recreated from scratch:

    On the left - in the Workspace - 'C0' is indicated; on the right - in Control Edit - both C1 and C#1. Why two sets? Why both C1 and C#1 in V-SPAN

    In Logic Pro 9 I have MIDI event notes corresponding to C1 (at the start of Bar 1) and C#1 at the start of Bar 3.

    Although I can hear the sustain (cell 1A) and pizzicato (cell 1B) when I click on those in VI, and indeed if I assign CC #1 to the change and move the Mod wheel, when I play the Track in Logic, I only hear whichever cell in VI was last clicked/selected.

    IOW no actual switching.

    I know this'll be utterly simple. Thanks so much :-).

     I would imagine that you are putting the keyswitch in the wrong octave. Remember that Logic thinks C3 is Middle C, whereas VSL uses C4.

    DG,

    Yes, thanks; I thought of that.

    At times I have been able to switch one way by setting an octave higher/lower. But can't get it to stay: whichever it switches to stays switched when it begins the loop with which I'm testing again!

    What's the difference between the two keyswitching places… on the left and right, please? Then I can at least make sure I'm setting in the right place!

    I would use a keyboard instead. There you can directly test, which key works for the keyswitch - just try any C or whatever key - one will be the right one :)

    Then record it in Logic and open the piano roll editor afterwards to see which "C" it was, since different equipment handles the octaves differently ( C3 on one Masterkeyboard can be C4 on another one, also depending on individual setups and key shift parameters) .

    Don´t worry about it, just find out by try and error - it´s a question of seconds.

    kleinholgi,

    Yes; thanks; you're so right. Then look at Lists and see which event was triggered successfully. Thanks.

    But it should always be a key within the patch range, shouldn't it?

     No, the keyswitches should be outside the patch range, as you need to use keyswitch notes that don't try to play a note

    Andy,

    :-(

    Thanks.  I have been wrong then, haven't I, in assuming that the tilde ~ in a cell indicated outside the patch range.

    What does tilde mean?
  • A
    A

     In the Key Range, the tilde just means "-1", it's the octave below C0, so B~ is the note below C0

    Thanks, Andy!
