I’ve been experiencing some problems with using the synth with Logic Pro X recently. I’ve got the Newest 1.0.0/1.2.0 Running El Capitan 10.11.4 & Logic Pro X 10.2.2… Using USB midi … I recently did the Cutoff board replacement, and it seems to work pretty well (except for the below, LOL)
Using the synth by itself or with the editor only it runs smooth, but having major problems when using it with logic.
When opening an external Midi instrument in logic, “Sub 37” Does not come up anymore like it used to. When I select External Midi for instrument, Output now only says “Off-1 al the way down to Off-16” .. again it used to be very easy & said “Moog Sub37” …
I went into Audio / Midi setup - Midi Studio - just to test the synth was connected and it was, all tested, sending & receiving midi..
Is there any preferred setting(s) on the synth I should be using for optimal performance with Logic? Somebody mentioned setting the Midi in & out channels to other than the default 1 but that didn’t seem to help. I’ve initialized settings from the global menu to default.
Also when I open up logic and use the editor (standalone) I’ve noticed a few things are happening. Sometimes a key just sustains and won’t stop until cycling the power of the synth, sometimes it plays a sequence at very high pitches and won’t stop until I cycle the power. Sometimes also nothing will play on the synth until i adjust the volume knob physically and then it will play at a very high pitch until i cycle the power.
The synth seems to really wig out when i open up logic basically. Which is disappointing because Ideally I like to use the synth to record into logic as an external midi instrument and I can’t. Maybe somebody has had a similar problem or someone that knows can shed some light as to where I can continue troubleshooting.
I found this “old” document, what is included in the “Sub_37_Editor_Pre-Release_v0_9_50” file.
Moog Sub 37 Editor
Plugin Setup Instructions [Logic Pro X]
The following will work with all versions going back to Logic 8. While this is not a Logic
tutorial, the following are instructions on how to use the Sub 37 Editor as a plugin
within Logic. It’s assumed that you have a rudimentary understanding of Logic
(e.g. how to load a plugin, etc.), and that you know how to use Logic’s Help file to find detailed
answers on Logic’s functions.
NOTE: Due to the way Logic echoes MIDI, it’s recommended to turn off all Local Control
on the Sub 37. This will also allow you to use the Sub 37 keyboard, wheels, and front
panel controls as MIDI controllers.
Connecting the Sub 37 and Loading the Sub 37 Editor
Launch Logic, and either create a new project or load an existing one.
Using an empty software instrument track, load Logic’s External Instrument plugin as an instrument.
Logic’s External Instrument handles all MIDI and audio chores for external hardware as a
simple, single channel plugin.
Since the Sub 37 is mono, and unless you’re running the Sub 37 into a Moogerfooger
pedal (or other outboard FX) with stereo outputs, use the Mono version of the External
Instrument plugin
Hope this helps
Just found out that this is also written in the new manual from the latest update.
WARNING:
Before using your Sub 37 with a DAW, go to the GLOBAL SETTINGS section of the SETUP menu.
Under the LOCAL CONTROL section – turn Keys, Wheels and Panel OFF to prevent MIDI issues.
Be sure to turn these back ON when not in use with a DAW. If you do not do this, Local Control will be turned off and your Sub 37 will not
produce sound.
Thanks for getting in on this guys - Gil I tried these exact instructions & no luck. I’ll try again tonight & see what the exact reason for it not working is. Cheers.
