Resource Page

Welcome to the Logic Users of Garritan Personal Orchestra Page. This page is designed to provide a resource for Apple/Emagic Logic and GarageBand users. GPO can be used as an Audio Units plug-in with Logic and GarageBand under OSX. Below you will find helpful information and resources. GPO is working very well with Logic 7. Although GPO is used by many Logic and GarageBand users with good results there are a few issues that have to do with bugs in previous versions of Logic, the way Logic handles MIDI, and previous issues with the Kontakt Player. Almost all of the remaining issues have been resolved with the latest version of Logic 7. Make sure to get the latest update for Logic at the Apple/Emagic site and the latest Kontakt player update. If you have any Logic files or information to contribute feel free to contact us.

Peter Delano

Peter Delano has created two Logic Environment files as a workaround to the Logic 'Reset to "0" Bug which is in prior versions of Logic (Logic 7 fixes this). The first environment allows you to convert incominig Mod Wheel data information into track automatation data. This will avoid the "return to zero" bug in Logic. The second converts Mod Wheel, CC#20, #22 & 24 into automation data. The first one deal with only mod wheel whereas the second one incorporates track-based automation control of GPO's other control parameters (portamento, and the 2 variation knobs) and includes a few cable switchers for working with multiple GPO instances.

Troubleshooting Common Problems in Logic:

Problem:	Solution:
Logic 'Graphic Offset Bug' (mouse pointer is noticeably off) Fixed in Logic 6	This is a bug in Logic 6 and prior versions which effects Native Instruments products and the word from Emagic is that this has been fixed in the new version of Logic Pro and that the fix will be implemented in the other Logic versions soon. We've heard from some users that this problem no longer exists in newer versions of Logic. Make sure to download the latest Logic update at the Apple/Emagic site. USER WORKAROUND submitted by Christian Bocher "Open Logic. (Autoload in my case) Logic goes through it's paces but does not load up an arrange page. The Logic headers are all there tho. -go to "File" -choose "Open Recent" and pick a song that has already been worked on and preferably gui issue free. (at this point if I were to choose "open" and search for the song I wanted, the gui issue would be there) _once the bug free song has been opened you can navigate to autoload or any other song you like..."
Logic 'Stuck Notes" Problem	If notes are getting stuck notes after you play them, try this: In "Options/Preferences" there's an option for "Reset Preferences". This offers a menu of controllers that are to be reset when the transport is stopped. CC1 IS on the list, but (of course), it's broken - known Logic bug. The Panic/All Notes Off feature works by double-clicking the "Input/Output" window on the Logic transport. This should kill the hung notes.
Logic 'Reset to "0" Bug': (Mod Wheel Data resets to "0" whenever you hit stop). Fixed in Logic 7	NOTE: This bug has been fixed in Logic 7. For prior versions refer to the workaround below or use the X-Custom folder available at the update section of our website. This is a concern with GPO which relies heavily on the mod wheel. The design of Logic is such that the the Mod wheel resets whenever you hit stop. Since ModWheel controls volume, users can't hear their music when they hit play again. The logic reset to "0" bug has been fixed in Logic 7. The user has the option in preferences to cofigure logic to retain current controller settings or to reset them. USER WORKAROUND: Submitted by Peter Delano Peter Delano has created Logic Environment files as a workaround. These will inset MIDI data at the beginning of the track to avoid the reset to "0" bug. These files are provided above.
Using LOGIC 5.5 WITH GPO By Tom Hopkins	Logic for PC has been discontinued and is no longer being supported. Since there have been no updates for a couple of years, Logic on PC has some of the most vexing problems and we've been exploring various workarounds off and on for several months and, finally, we think we have found workarounds for virtually all of the problems. There are some compromises but these ideas at least make Logic for PC usable. For the WORKAROUNDS pdf file go here.
