Setting up a MIDI control surface for use with your digital audio workstation dramatically expands your musical possibilities. With a MIDI keyboard you can play thousands of different virtual instruments including a wide selection of virtual pianos and organs. Connecting your MIDI keyboard to Logic involves hooking up the device's cables, adding it as a control surface and then setting up a new track in Logic to play the keyboard on.

Connect your keyboard to your computer's sound card or audio interface input using MIDI cables. Run a second MIDI cable back to your keyboard from the MIDI output port on your sound card or interface.

Launch Logic and add your keyboard to the program's list of control surfaces. Click 'Logic Pro' on the main menu, select 'Control Surfaces' and click 'Setup.' Click 'New,' click 'Install' and then select your MIDI keyboard on the list of devices. Click 'Scan' and close the window once Logic finishes installing the keyboard as a control surface.

Click the '+' icon at the top of the Tracks column to open the track-creation dialog.

Click 'Software Instrument' and click 'Create' to create a new track for your keyboard.

Click an empty plugin slot on the track, highlight 'External Instrument' and click 'Stereo.'

Configure your plugin options. Click the 'MIDI Device/Instrument' drop-down menu and select your MIDI keyboard from the list of available devices. Click the 'MIDI Channel' drop-down menu and select 'All.' Click the 'Input' drop-down menu and select '1,2.'

Click the 'R' icon on the track to arm it for recording. You will know the track is armed when the 'R' button changes color.

Click the 'Record' button on the main interface in Logic to begin recording audio sent to your computer from your MIDI keyboard. Press the space bar when you are finished.

Tips

The interface or sound card on your computer must feature SysEx communication support in order for it to work properly with Logic and a MIDI keyboard. Consult your interface's documentation to determine whether or not it is compatible.

Carvin Audio in the USA has announced the end of its amp making operations, as well as a liquidation sale to help them shift the last of their stock. The company is famous for making amplifiers for the likes of Steve Vai and so this will be quite a shock for many of their fans.

Liquidation

This US company has been around for 70 years. This closure is a great shame, I think, as they have made some great products, including the Carvin Legacy signature guitar amplifier for Steve Vai. To help shift the last of its stock, the firm is offering a 25% discount on new products. You could pick up some really great equipment from this Californian company.

The following statement below was released on the company Facebook page:

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that the Carvin Audio factory will be closing its doors after over 70 years.

“We are thankful for the many years we’ve had in this business and the support you all have given us.

“We’d like to thank all of you for your devotion to our gear and championing us live, in the studio, and on social media. We hope to see our gear live on in your musical lives for many years to come!”

Follow the link below to the main Carvin Audio website for more details. As yet there have been no more announcements about the future of the rest of the company. Nor does the statement say how the factory closure will affect the business as a whole.

Guitars still going strong

Both Kiesel Guitars and Carvin Guitars are still going strong, though. Apparently, this liquidation only applies to the amps and the pro audio company, which was originally part of the same family but split off into separate companies years ago. It will, of course, be missed, but the instruments company is still around.
