Desktop Shutdown & Restart shortcuts tip

shutdown and restart icon

Instead of clicking Start, Turn Off Computer, Turn off  (or Restart ) you could have shortcuts on your desktop to do the same jobs. 

Here’s how.  Right click on the desktop and select New, >Shortcut.  In the shortcut wizard box that appears type (or copy and paste) SHUTDOWN -s -t 01 

Click next and give the shortcut a name, shutdown is good  

For the Restart shortcut, repeat but this time insert the text SHUTDOWN -r -t 01 and name it restart. 

After creation, right click the shortcut, select Properties, Change Icon… and choose a suitable icon.

                                                                          

Oberheim MC2000EX Logic Environment

Oberheim MC2000EX Logic Environment

Description

Control of the Oberheim MC2000EX master keyboard’s onboard OP-1 from Logic. 

This Logic environment enables the selection of both reverb and effects from the green and blue drop down menus; faders below adjust their respective parameters.  Also Includes: expression and volume faders, damper switch, soft pedal switch and EQ faders.   

Also included is a multi instrument object with the three MIDI channels activated and patch names.  Bank one provides stereo patches and bank two mono. 

This environment was constructed using Logic version 5.5.1 on a PC.  It has not been tested on a Mac but it should work. 

Structure of the OP-1 

There are two effects blocks operating on sounds selected on MIDI channels one and two, they do not affect channel three, the bass sounds.  If required, bass sounds can be used with effects provided the sounds are selected on channel one or two.  Reverb is global.  

Download MC2000EX.zip  (45kb

Instructions

Import (or copy and paste) the environment into your Autoload.lso.  Set your MIDI ports to the ports the MC2000EX is connected to as indicated in the screenshot above.

                                    

Real-Time Jam Sessions in Logic

 “Learn how to set up Logic's Environment so that you can jam with other musicians in real time on a single system.”

A very useful Logic environment made by Ingo Vauk for the Mac version of Logic and adapted by me to work on the PC version. 

Both the Mac and PC versions may be downloaded via the links at the bottom of the Sound On Sound Logic Notes Item
