I managed to set up the roland gaia with logic pro 9,

I"ve got the gaia set to my Edirol ua-25ex, with both of the midi in and out leads running from the gaia to the ua-25ex, i also have the 2 left and right audio jacks set up as well from the gaia into the ua-25ex, the synth sounds amazing coming through my monitor's.

In logic pro 9 in the environment window in the top left corner drop down menu i selected midi instrument, then in the new drop down menu i selected new instrument, i renamed this instrument gaia, in the port section i selected my ua-25ex.

Then i returned back to the arrange page and created a new software instrument, then on the channel strip plugin menu i selected external instrument, i opened the external instrument.
where it says midi destination i selected the roland gaia from the drop down menu and selected input 1-2.

Now the gaia sounds phat when i play through my rokit krk 5 monitors, nice and analog with nice bottom end, nice and earthy, but when i record it into logic is seems to lose its analog sound all the bottom end logic doesn't record,
why would this be?

Can any one tell me why this would be....... ]]> tag:rolandforums.co.uk,2010:forums/viewthread/.1319 2010-07-24T02:30:44Z alanwilson04
The good news is I managed to do it successfully! The driver I based it on is the Edirol SD-80 64bit driver and the Fantom-v 64 bit driver.

By comparing the above two drivers, I discovered all but 2 files were the same (but with different model numbers), so I decided to open up those two files and edit them to the XV5050's specifications, and managed to create a fully tested and working 64bit driver for this device!

I must make this clear for legal reasons. Although i programmed 2 files in this driver, the bulk of the files are property of Roland and that must not be forgotten. I hope the moderators can see past this self programmed driver in order to allow people to benefit from it who would have otherwise lost the use of this hardware.

pm me for more details! ]]> tag:rolandforums.co.uk,2009:forums/viewthread/.493 2009-05-13T17:38:36Z Maine
Is that a feature, or have I set something incorrectly?

We have a JV-1080 (just replaced a MKS-70) and JD-990. We control them both via the Roland AX-7 Keytar. We often use the expression bar on the AX-7 to have fun with the sounds.

We often have the JD-990 controlled by the "upper" channel (set to midi channel 1) on the AX-7 and the JV-1080 on the "lower" channel (set to midi channel 2). And often times, we play both the upper and lower channel at the same time to layer the two synths together in interesting and fun ways.

Back when we were on the MKS-70/JD-990 combo, the expression bar worked great. However, after moving from the MKS-70 to the JV-1080, the way that the JV-1080 plays the expression commands sent from the AX-7 isn't what we want at all...It sounds like a vary fast passed "wah" sound that is kind of grating to the ears.

Now, after completing the back story, here comes the question (thanks for hanging in there!)...

Is there a way to either reduce the speed of the modulation (i think that's what is causing it, but my newb-ness might be calling it by the wrong name) on the JV-1080 when we use the expression bar? I'm using a Performance on the JV-1080 to layer a few patches together. So, I'm not sure if I need to go to the individual patches or the performance to control it. It would be nice if I could control it from the performance level. But I can't seem to figure out what I need to modify...

OR

If I can't figure out how to get a sound I'd like, is there a way to tell the JV-1080 to ignore the expression midi command? I'd like to just have it play the original non-expressed sound, and ignore the expression command (so that the normal sound plays on the JV-1080, but the expression bar sound is played from the JD-990).

OR

Is this something that should be controlled from the AX-7? I found an Expression Bar in the control parameters (with options of Modulation, AfterTouch, Both and Off), but setting it to OFF (or anything else for that matter) doesn't seem to affect the sending of the midi command to the JV-1080. I'm also wondering if this is a sensitivity issue, because if I barely hold the expression bar, it "wahs" at a slower rate, but when playing it's VERY hard to have that level of control to just BARELY touch the bar. So, if I can reduce the sensitivity of the expression bar, that might work too.

I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks, and we have a recording date in two days! Any points in the right direction would make me a happy, happy not-quite-so-newb...

Thanks!!

I recently got my roland Gaia and i'm trying to set it up so i can record the sounds into logic pro 9 from the Gaia, now i'm new to setting up equipment so i might be missing something,

Im using a Akai Mpk49 midi controller keyboard which is running via a usb cable which works fine in logic.

Iv'e connected up the roland Gaia to my Edirol UA-25EX audio interface by a midi lead which i have coming out from the Gaia's midi out into the UA-25EX midi in, i also have the left and right output jacks coming from the Gaia into the UA-25EX left and right,( which are making a crackling sound) Rokit KRK 5 speakers

Im getting sound through my monitor speakers, but i cant seem to record any midi notes into logic pro 9

Iv'e installed the disc that came with the Gaia,

I would be grateful for any help.

Thanks.... ]]> tag:rolandforums.co.uk,2010:forums/viewthread/.1296 2010-07-08T13:29:35Z Juanse Thank you. ]]> tag:rolandforums.co.uk,2010:forums/viewthread/.1295 2010-07-08T04:57:33Z billynojokes
