EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello out there,

I am fairly new to all of this MIDI stuff but I've been having a lot of fun with the 
EXS24 and the ES2 on my Logic Platinum 5.5 in OSX.  Until today that is!  I 
opened up Logic today and all of my audio files sound normal but every time I 
play a note on the MIDI keyboard (no matter what instrument) it plays as if it's 
20 octaves too high!  I tried lowering the octave on the keyboard but it doesn't 
respond.  I tried restarting the computer but that didn't do anything!  

Has anyone run into this before?  I am in a really bad position right now 
because I have a lot of compositions due at the end of the week and I'm really 
stuck!  Please give me some advice.

Bryan.

Sounds like a problem with your keybaord maybe.  Try this: in the 
environment's Clicks & Ports latyer, create a Monitor object.  Cable 
the Physical Input object's SUM outlet into the Monitor (click-hold 
on the little triangle after SUM and drag until the Monitor object 
lights up), and cable the Monitor into the "to Sequencer" object 
(sometimes called "to Rec & Thru").
Now play a middle-C on your keyboard.  If all is well, the Monitor 
will show a C3 or C4 or something like that being played.  If it 
shows something ridiculously high, like a C7, your keyboard is at 
fault.  If the Monitor shows the right note however, but the sound is 
still too high, you at least know it's not the keyboard but a 
software problem.
