Recording individual Notes of One note Midi chords in Logic Pro

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi everyone, I used to be able to record the individual notes of the one note midi chords in Scale Mode (KK) in Logic Pro by using internal midi, and it was fairly straightforward and worked great. Now, it doesn't work. I used to create a track with KK on it, with scale/chord mode on, then create another track (could be same instrument). I would then turn internal midi on, and route the output of the 1st to the 2nd track, and then route the input of the second track to the first, record arm the second track, and there it would be, no problem. Now that setup causes massive problems. What has changed, or moreso how can you record the individual notes of the chords in the piano roll now?

Likely the issue is in KK V3. The old version, KK V2 worked fine with this feature and same scenario in any DAW (Ableton for example is what I use) you rout the MIDI channel out of KK to a second track and it can capture the actual chord or arp notes to a track.

If you are using KK V3 i've heard of issues around this but would help to know what the "massive problems" are in detail along with what version of KK you are using and what your macOS system is and what plugin you are using.

@Schiebs What model of keyboard are you using?

Hi @Jeremy_NI, I am using a S61 MK2.

@JesterMgee, I am using the most recent version of KK 3.5.0, Sequoia 15.5. Plugin was 40's Keys, although other plugins all have the same issue. The 'massive ' problems were essentially the track glitching out completely, with the tones stuck and then modulating at an increased volume. The display on the keyboard malfunctions as well.

I have found a workaround using KK in standalone mode; you must enable an IAC driver In KK's MIDI output mode, then set Logic's internal MIDI monitoring to that IAC driver on whatever track you need. It works, but I'd prefer the old way of doing things. @Jeremy_NI, and @JesterMgee- thank you for taking the time to respond to this; I appreciate it. Hopefully this could get resolved in the next version of KK.

Hey @Schiebs Could you give more details about how you were doing it in Logic? What version of Logic was it? Do you still use the same version? Some of the MIDI functions in relation to the AU format have changed in Logic.
