So, Yeah, there's a Volume CC (Control Change
http://www.midi.org/about-midi/table3.shtml)in the MIDI file that
needs to be stripped out. If you open the MIDI part in the Piano Roll
Editor (Matrix Editor in Logic 7) and open the Hyper Draw window
(button in lower Left click disclosure triangle or Local
Menu>View>HyperDraw>Volume  (or Expression Control) you can Shift
Select all the nodes and delete them. Alternatively, with the MIDI
file selected, open the Event List (E is the key command in 8) and
filter out all the events except Controller (every button should be
dark except the controller button). You will see only control
functions. Select the first Num 7 event then go to Local
Menu>Edit>Select Similar Events. Now all the CC 7 events are selected,
then use the delete key: voila! Same goes for CC11 (Expression) a lot
of people use Controller 11 as a volume dampener (Yamaha). Good Luck!

when I import it into Logic, it's actual volume is at 4.9 dB...way to
loud. I have it in a song that has a 2 bar drum into before the piano
starts. What I am trying to do is set the level of the piano volume at
0 dB but ever time I do so in track automation, it jumps back to 4.9
dB when the piano starts. Is there any way to lock the piano track
volume at 0 dB?
