The Logic Off Topic list

Occasionally after I have quantized I'll notice that all the notes have 
shifted a bit on the grid. I usually select all of them and manually 
slide them back only to find that it has occurred in all the audio 
instruments. Any idea what's going on? I'm using Logic Pro 6 OS X.

A similar thing... in my arrange I have accidentally shifted the 
starting point in the arrange to a minus so that the starting point is 
no longer 1. When that has happened I just live with it because I 
haven't figured out how to reset it. It happens when I'm moving 
sequences or audio regions or resizing and the cursor slips into the 
"1" area of the bar ruler. I see it shift but can't figure how to undo 
it.

One last question, in Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" there's a hooky 
instrument that starts right after the drums. Does anyone know if that 
sound is included in Pro 6? I can't remember running across it in the 
synthesizers.

Thanks Peter

I believe yor're referring to Stevie's clavinet. And
that's more than "a hooky instrument", it's a Monster
signature lick for that song, and probably THE nost
famous clav lick ever. (Actually it's  several clavs
layered.)
I'm sure there must be some clavs in Pro 6 but they
won't sound anything like that track. The best
software ones that I'm aware of are in the Scarbee
Vintage Keyboard Collection. I just bought them but
can't get them to work in Logic. Demos blew me away
though.

	Does anyone know where I could find a transcription of 
Stevie's clav on this tune?  I've always wanted to play that lick and 
I'm sure I won't hear all the parts buried in the mix to transcribe 
it myself.  Also, I'm lazy.  :-)

There was a whole thread on this recently in the
keyboard section at www.musicplayer.com. I would look
there

It is indeed! In my opinion (as a clavinet fiend!) the EVD6 that  
comes with logic is a very good representation of a clavinet. Its a  
string modelling synth with more than enough scope to pull of a vast  
majority of clav sounds, I use it very frequently. If you have logic  
pro 6 or 7 you already have it. before that it was a paying upgrade.  
Just get a decent expression pedal, link it to the wah (built in to  
the EVD6, whats a clav without a wah!) and insert a guitar amp pro  
(in 7), tweak and enjoy. I've certainly been able to get that stevie  
vibe from it, it just needs tweaking, the presets really don't do it  
justice, Mike
