Synfire Pro & Logic Pro X - Problems while trying to link them

The best thing I did was to create drones in LP-X and dragged and dropped the midi directly from the drones in LP-X.

Worked fine!

Right now, I'm just waiting for the updated version of SFP.  It will be out soon and I'm sure it will be easier to integrate ;)

You do not need the audio signals. Only the transport is used. Does that work for you?

Here is how to sync Synfire with Logic Pro X:

1. Open Preferences in Logic and select the 'Audio' tab
2. Select a 'ReWire Mode' (off by default)
3. Add a few channels strips to Logic with drones
4. In Synfire go to Playback->External Synch and enable the ReWire Transport
5. In Synfire on the 'Sounds' tab, add rack modules using Logic drones

Works great.

Added a video for Logic Pro X:  

This video is pretty straight forward. However, it's NOT working. Please help.

At which point is it not working?

It just says "No DAW with a Transport found" in Synfire. All of the boxes are checked. See screenshot. :clueless:

Help!  :toobad:

Make sure you

1. Have installed ReWire "Transport" with Synfire, which is part of the install package. If you missed this, you can redo the installation with only this item checked.
2. Start Logic first.
3. Enable ReWire in Logic preferences.

The problem seems to be a problem with Logic. Synfire sees Ableton's transport just fine. If I open Logic and Reason, Reason goes into slave mode but pressing play on Logic won't start Reason's transport. However, when I did the same excersise with Ableton and Reason things worked perfectly. (smh)

Logic is version 10.0.4

OS X is 10.8.5

If I were you I would just use SFP as a drone in Logic X.

There are Videos online on how to do that on youtube.

In the screen shot:

1: After loading up logic launch SFP

2: Create an instrument in Logic 

3: On SFP under PLUGIN in Green " Arrow down and choose logic:01 Device.

4: In Logic, select you're plugin in the Drone Device.

If it's not in sync then you have to arrow right until you see "Transport" in SFP screen shot provided on the far right side!

Tick Rewire for both..

 Laters!

Not sure if that's what you need but that's what works for me...

I get what you're saying now " No Daw Transport Found" but both use the sync I even had a template for it?

I'm not sure if it's an update on Mavrick but I didn't have this issue before.  Now you have me wondering!??

Ok I've updated SFP to 1.7.4 and it fixed the sync problem.

If you follow those steps above and check for the newest update it should work!

Possibly the installation of the update forces Logic to rescan plugins and the rewire stuff.

Nada. 

I already have Synfire 1.7.4 build 4

The problem has to be with Logic

After months of aggravition. I finally found out what was causing the problem with Logic. I had switch to Ableton because of it.

If  you have EU control installed on you mac even if it's not running it will cause a malfunction.
