  1. Same problems. Stuck notes and I'm not causing them. It's not that hard of a setup to figure out and I'm certain I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm using a simple 5 note chord setup up in logic 10.8 with the five sections of SampleModeling string sections. I'll play a chord and and when I release it notes start hanging. I can see great potential in this but currently it would be quicker for me to play chords on a string ensemble patch and then manually extract the notes to the various sections. I guess I'm not alone.
  2. That’s really weird. When I open this project, I see the particular plug-ins on those tracks and the ones in the reverb subfolder load before the file opens. Then when I look at where I directed you, those particular tracks are grayed out but those plug-ins are highlighted like they are on. Same is true for the plug-ins on the auxiliary’s in the reverb sub folder on my side! You should be able to see what I’m talking about in the screenshots I provided above.
  3. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Us7Ynst8LDl83e-ZJsnEcxrW-rlf-4hh/view?usp=sharing Use the link to download a zipped file of the Orchestral Template. Open the summing track stack called ">SUBMASTER<" and the "Sections" one inside of that. You'll see the plugins in the on stage on the Brass, Percussion, and String Ensemble AUX, while the others in that stack successfully being in the off stage.
  4. Thanks, David and sorry for the confusion. Any time I said summing folder I meant "summing track stack" which acts like an aux with other tracks assigned to it. When I used folder I was referring to "folder track stack" which acts like a DCA. I will attach two images and if that isn't useful, I'll post the logic project which is about 500MB. In "image 1" you'll see the entire project showing all the folder track stacks with the "Harp and Keys" folder track stack expanded as an example of the structure of all the other folder track stacks. Each of the categories of instruments inside of the instrument folder track stacks are in summing track stacks by family (ie. flutes, oboes, clarinets) in a similar fashion to what you see in the expanded "Harp and Keys" folder track stack. I further expanded the harp summing track stack so you can see what I'm talking about. Everything in all of these folder track stacks successfully turn completely off. I have also expanded the "Submaster" summing track stack which has three summing track stacks within. Most all the tracks inside of "Submaster" successfully turn off except the ones in the "Reverb" summing track stack and three AUX tracks inside of the "Sections" summing track stack. You'll see a mixer view of this in "image 2." All of the auxiliary tracks inside of the "Sections" summing track stack have been set up in the same way with each respective section of instruments inside of the folder tracks stacks seen in image 1 routed to them, but you'll see the plugins on brass, percussion, and string ensemble stay on despite option-clicking on them individually and/or on the entire "Submaster" summing track stack.
  5. Thank you for this very detailed response. I appreciate the time you took to craft it. I do understand all of this and these particular auxiliary tracks are in a summing stack. When I turn off the button on the stack with option-click, some tracks turn off and a couple stay on despite having the off button in the off position. It seems like a bug. The instruments that are bussed to this summing stack of auxiliaries are in summing stack groups and then organized into a summing folder. All these instrument group folders also have auxiliaries/summing folders inside of them and all those turn off fine. Then I’m using a sends on these summing folders to reach the reverb on the tracks in question. It’s this particular summing folder that is acting weird for some reason. to clarify, all of my woodwinds are in one folder stack. Inside of that stack is a summing folder of flutes, summing folder of oboes, etc. On each of these instrument family summing folders I use a send to reach one of a series of auxiliary tracks inside of their own summing folder. When I option click that folder, some of the auxiliary tracks actually turn off and two or three of them stay on for some reason. It’s not the end of the world because these plug-ins load quickly but I was hoping to leave the entire template in the off position. Maybe this is because there are only auxiliary tracks in this particular summing folder and it’s an oddity that some of them happen to turn off when I option click? Maybe it’s because the ones that actually turn off can be seen as actually having nothing sent to them and the ones that remain on are receiving some sort of live input somewhere down the line I missed?
  6. I have a rather large Orchestral Template. All of my instruments are currently successfully turned off with the on/off track buttons. There are over 500 of them! I have categories of instruments setup to their own DCA's and each family of instruments is bussed to a submaster/aux. I have about ten submaster tracks. I have them turned off as well, yet the plugins on those tracks stay lit up an on, even if I option click the off button. There's nothing I can do to get those tracks to turn off. I leave the template with all tracks off so it loads quickly and I can then choose which instruments I want to use for a composition. For now, I get to watch the plugins on those submaster tracks that won't turn off each time I load. Any ideas why these tracks won't turn off?
  7. Having used a Mac since the 80s, that’s the first thing I did haha. When saving it always saves a resource of about 500mb and and backup of that the same size. There’s just nothing else to delete. The file size would be half if it weren’t for the duplicate in the backup. But that folder always repopulates.
  8. I have an orchestral template with nearly 600+ instruments, one audio file (room tone), and aux tracks. All of the instrument tracks are turned off and generally hidden until I need them. I have deleted the undo history, been inside the package and removed stuff, etc. yet the file size is still just over 1 GIG. There is no MIDI data and the one audio file. I use "Clean Project Directory." Despite clearing backup files, there is still a 500 MB file inside those folders. Similar projects from three years ago are only 100 MB or less. What else can I do?
  9. The documentation says that MIDI meaning function only works once you enable it. It will not read imported articulations or articulations that were put in logic before enabling changes.
  10. I will try all this out. By the way, I put the latency fixer into my components folder and it doesn't show as an available plugin in Logic for whatever reason. It doesn't even show in the plugin manager....
  11. http://michaelrasbury.org/HumanizeFinale.zip I have dropped a zipped folder on my server that includes a Logic Project, the script, and the articulation set if you just want to open it on your end. I will also try to explain the test. I loaded sampler and used its test tone so that there is no decay at the end of the tone. I set up a four measure MIDI region. The BPM was initially at 120, but I found even speeding things up to 220 yielded the same results, although faster of course. There is a -500.0ms track delay in the drop down menu. The first measure has eight exact eighth notes. The first two have the staccato articulation chosen, the second two have the staccatissimo articulation, the next two go back to staccato and the final two have the staccatissimo articulation. The staccatissimo ones don't work as you thought they might not. The second measure is four exact quarter notes with the first two using the marcato articulation and the second two using the tenuto articulation. These seem to work as expected. The third measure contains four exact quarter notes alternating between adjacent pitches and use the legato articulation. These don't seem to be longer than 100 percent as I would expect to hear the two pitches overlap a little when triggering. I went back to the script and changed the length in the array from 1.05 to 1.20 and observed the notes seem to never be able to last past 1 or full length. The fourth measure uses two exact half notes and has the sustain articulation chosen. These sound unaltered as expected.
  12. [soundCloud][/soundCloud]Hey- sorry I didn't see your reply. I just tested this a various speeds with a -500ms offset and it seemed to work well EXCEPT and ironically, there doesn't seem to be an audible difference between the staccato and the staccatisimo lengths at least when listening. I think what is happening is like you said, the staccatisimo articulation can only be applied to an already short note. I assume it would need to be assigned to a note shorter than 500ms. I may try to alter this script by adding other articulations/lengths, but I'm not sure I quite understand... It looks like you set up an array of lengths, and then told the script to check for sequentially what articulation ID/number was chosen starting with "greater than zero?" I guess if I add any new articulations, they will need to be sequentially starting at ID 7 after tenuto, and then I will need to add the new lengths to the end of the array. Am I thinking correctly? Also after running some more tests, it's like the staccato and staccatissimo articulations don't work back to back. I could keep shortening the staccato time and hear it get a short as 25, I think. I'm not sure really but thought I'd share!
  13. Can someone create a simple and clear script for Logic’s Scripter that does the following if even possible? The script will assume that MIDI notes have been imported from a notation program or all note lengths has been quantized so all note values have perfectly quantized lengths (like MIDI looks exported from Finale.) It will rely on a Logic Articulation Set that has at a minimum the following articulations: No. Articulation 1 Sustain 2 Legato 3 Marcato 4 Staccato 5 Staccatissimo 6 Tenuto -If the articulation is marked Legato it will sound a 5% longer MIDI note or 105% of the original length MIDI note to the instrument. -If the articulation is marked Marcato it will sound a 15% shorter MIDI note or 85% of the original length MIDI note to the instrument. -If the articulation is marked Staccato it will sound a 50% shorter MIDI note or 50% of the original length MIDI note to the instrument. -If the articulation is marked Staccatissimo it will sound a 75% shorter MIDI note or 25% of the original length MIDI note to the instrument. -If the articulation is marked Tenuto it will sound a 5% shorter MIDI note or 95% of the original length MIDI note to the instrument. -All other notes of any other articulation or without articulations will sound a 15% shorter MIDI note or 85% of the original length MIDI note.
  14. Thanks! That’s easy enough. I do think Apple should add a more logical HUI for these sorts of actions although I completely understand now this has been pointed out!
  15. Thanks for that. The MIDI Transform is more mathematical than user friendly. I assume Mul stands for multiply? I wish Apple would update some of this...
