Hi!

I recently bought a Nord Electro 4D and it's great.
I do have one problem.
When I use my Nord as a Midi controller in Logic (through midi cable to my interface) the octaves don't shift
when I press the Octave +/- buttons.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!
John

Transpose in Logic?

Hi!
How do you mean? I don't think that Logic can affect the incoming information.
I could of course use a pitch shifter as a plug-in but it sounds kind of funny.

There are many midi-transpose plugins that will affect only the midi. Or you could program whatever patch on your target device/ plugin to shift the octave.

I don't own Logic but I would think there must be something built-in that would transpose incoming midi.

Yes, a midi-transpose plugin (or something equivalent) would do the trick.

The stage series (at least the NS3) has a setting called "MIDI Transpose at". This controls whether the transpose button affects MIDI that is being sent (only) or MIDI that is being received (only).

I don't think the Electro series (at least not my E3) has an equivalent menu setup; the default on your seems to be transpose at input only.

So the alternative is to use a MIDi transpose plugin, change the settings of your instrument or possibly (in some cases) moving all notes one octave up or down after you have recorded them, manually, in Logic.

Brilliant. I did not know of the transpose function in Logic!
Thank you so much!
