Logic Pro playing back pitched samples

Hi All

I don't think I phrased my question well yesterday. I have a multi output instance of Maschine with the sounds routes to individual tracks in Logics mixer. I drag the midi as notes into Logic, but Logic doesn't play pitched notes, instead the pitched notes play as note on data.

Does anyone know how to fix this, so when I drag midi into Logic and playback, any pitch data is applied within Maschine?

    you have only one sound in the group

    I think Before you drag and drop right click on group and select sounds to midi channel, instead of sounds to midi note

    Thanks for that, but I want all the midi on one track. If I drag the midi from the drum group with the pitched chord, Logic just plays the chord note on, if I create a second group and drag the midi, it shows the pitched notes in Logic's piano roll. Is there a way to drag the midi from Group 1 so Logic plays the pitched note in this group, even though the midi is on the same note in Logic's piano roll, does that make sense?

    you can’t mix the two , eg , drums (fixed pitch ) and chromatic pitch notes ,

    So for drums , you could use both , sounds to midi notes and sounds to midi channels , depending on how you want to use them , generally you’d use sounds to midi notes and keep your drums on 1 track , but you might want to work other ways , eg if you wanted pitched drums , or before you had things like , separate midi notes to tracks in logic , you may have wanted to separate your drums by midi channel.

    For pitched notes of one sound , you need to use sound to midi channel , that puts one sound on a midi channel allowing it to be played at any pitch.

    Sounds to midi notes , puts each of the 16 sounds on a separate note on 1 midi channel , so it’s impossible to pitch those notes , unless you automate the pitch control in the sampler .

    if you’re using a group that has a combination of drums and pitched instruments , you have to use sounds to midi channels to separate each sound , they then have their own track in logic , and can be pitched , not ideal for general drums

    So it’s probably best to use separate groups for drums and pitched instruments, and personally I’d use separate instances for each group


    personally I think they should overhaul the plugin , they should streamline it , kinda like kk , and make it one group , with ideas view + patterns, and get rid of the arrangement window .

    You save your group in maschine , load it in the plugin , either create new patterns or drag existing patterns to logic , if you need to recreate a project, you open standalone and drag patterns from your project

    Then rinse and repeat for each group

    Make the maschine controller , so it recognises each instance, like kk recognises each instance it’s using

    You can kinda do that atm , but I think it bloats out the daw with multiple instances as is , and it doesn’t recognise which one is which

    ok, so I've created a new instance of machine and created some chords in a new group, when I drag in the midi, Logic just plays the

    notes, what am I doing wrong?

    unsure what the issue may be but check the sample rate matches in maschine and logic, I used to get pitched up samples when I used a sample form a project with a higher sample rate than my current daw instance

    did you select sounds to midi channels ( right click on group )

    yes, but Logic just plays the notes not the chords?
