Absynth & Logic, MIDI PROBLEM WITH ABSYNTH & LOGIC Options

[The Tramb]

Hi,

I have Logic Audio 6.3 on Mac OsX.
I can't properly use Absynth because I can't control it with my Midi Master Keyboard...I have a UM-4 Midi Interface, and nothing appears on the Absynth audio&midi set up Menu..!!?
I'm quite blocked now because I can't play Absynth, it's such a nightmare having these really nice Virtual Synths and not being able to use it !!!
Can anyone help me out with this one ?!!
Thanks a lot !

Are you trying to run Absynth in Logic?
If you are you need to use the Audio Unit version which you insert into an audio instrument object.
Do you know how to do this?
Do you know how to insert a Logic instrument such as EXS24, ES1 or ESP?

Hi Formatj !
I didn't know that a AU version of Absynth existed !?
To install an AU you just need place in the Library Component, right ?
But even without using Absynth as an AU.
If I just want to use it as external instrument...I can't control it with my Midi Keyboard...do you know why ?
Do you know how Absynth works ?
Thanks for answering.

Download the updater from Native Instruments The Current verion is 2.0.4.
You need to run the installer, it will put all the files in the right locations.
You will need to have registered with N.I. to be able to download the file.
I'm assuming you own Absynth version 2.

In Absynth, if you open Setup>Audio and MIDI settings then click on the MIDI tab on the window that opens, you should see "Input Interface" and "Output Interface" sections. If you have installed your UM-4 driver correctly it should appear in the input and output sections. Make sure you turn on the input port that corresponds to your port on the UM-4 to which your keyboard is connected.
The latest version of the UM-4 driver can be downloaded here.
