Lee, since INVISIBLE TOUCH wasn't released until June, 1986, I doubt that you heard it 35 years ago...but I know what you mean It's good, but it's not as good as the other instrumental from those sessions.

Thor 3737 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 "The Brazilian" is great -- one of my favourite Genesis compositions. Even though Peter Gabriel had left at this point, it feels very "him" in style and tone. Like a cousin to "The Tower That Ate People", which was featured in RED PLANET.

Naïve Old Fart 4696 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 It's good, Thor, but they've done better instrumentals. That being said, it's still my favourite track on INVISIBLE TOUCH. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to plug in the minilogue into Logic, but for some reason, my interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2) isn't picking up any signals from the minilogue. So Logic isn't picking anything up. When I plug in headphones directly into the minilogue though, it all sounds great. Any advice? Am I missing something really obvious? Link to post Share on other sites

I have to admit I haven't used the Scarlett or Logic, but I'll work backwards by asking obvious questions. I imagine there's a way to get monitoring on the Scarlett without using a DAW? Which output are you using on the XD? Link to post Share on other sites

And the Scarlett is plugged into the laptop via USB. I also plugged in the XD directly into the laptop via USB, which gave me a MIDI signal from the keyboard. But I'm not picking up any of the actual audio output on the DAW. I could plug in actual monitor speakers into the Scarlett as well, but currently don't have a functioning pair. But I should still be able to pick up the output on the DAW, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's an issue with the interface (hopefully not!). What do you plug in your XD into?

Nick Parker 2880 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 7 hours ago, KK said: I'm using the headphone jack on the XD as my output. I suspected as much. This is probably the culprit. Try using the L/Mono output. For stereo in your DAW, you'd need two cables for each output, or a stereo split cable. While some gear has a built-in USB audio interface, the XD is not one of them. That USB connection is purely for MIDI. So if you wanted to write a part on your XD and have it recorded into your DAW, rather than directly play it in, you'll need the following: 1. In Logic, set up a MIDI track, and have the output routed to the XD via the USB connection. This will send your written material to the XD, like giving sheet music to a performer. 2. Have a separate audio track to record the XD's performance. You'll have the XD output to the corresponding channels on your Focusrite (ex. Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 for the XD's L and R outputs for stereo). 7 hours ago, KK said: could plug in actual monitor speakers into the Scarlett as well, Monitoring is simply being able to listen to your instrument. So my question in other words, was to see if you could get the XD's audio heard through the Scarlett without Logic, as a means of eliminating suspects. I doubt this will be necessary after what I wrote above. 7 hours ago, KK said: Maybe it's an issue with the interface (hopefully not!). Doubtful! Don't be alarmed. 7 hours ago, KK said: What do you plug in your XD into? I actually recently "downgraded" to the Monologue, but for any synth or gear I use a Behringer UMC1820 audio interface.
