Hi Producers,

Yesterday I showed you how to write melodies with ease in Ableton Live, we had some comments of how to do this in Logic, Logic does not have the fold feature but there is away around this if you also have Ableton. You can rewire midi from Ableton to use with virtual instruments within Logic meaning you can still use  the fold feature in Ableton to write melodies with ease, here’s how it is done.

Firstly open up the Audio and Midi preferences and add a new port, name this new port as ‘To Logic’.

Now open up Ableton and open up the preferences and select the midi sync tab, turn off all the midi inputs and turn off the IAC Driver Bus 1. Leave the ‘To Logic’ IAC Driver outputs on but also turn off the outputs of the USB Midi interface.

Now go back to Live and create a Midi track and select IAC Driver (To Logic) in the midi to drop down box.

Now launch Logic and create a midi track. Click file and open project settings and select recording. Click both boxes in the midi section so they are checked and active.

Open up the environment and click the drop down menu at the top left of the environment and select click and ports. This will then open up a physical input box.

Remove the cable from the input voice from the physical layout box and create a new cable from the physical layout box to the keyboard.

Close the environment and go back to the arrangement view, click on the midi track and select midi 1. Now place a virtual instrument of your choice on that channel.

Now go back to Ableton and draw some notes in the midi channel and press play, this will now play the notes from Ableton to the instrument in Logic.

You can do this for up to 16 channels by selecting the corresponding midi to from Ableton to the midi channel in Logic.

Please also see the video below, which takes you through the process.

Enjoy making melodies with ease in Logic !
