Logic Geniuses Help!! Logic won't play the whole chord, just top note.

Logic Geniuses Help!! Logic won't play the whole chord, just top note.

2004-11-10 by Mitchell DeFreytas

Logic Geniuses,

When I playback to chord positions in the sequence, Logic will only playback the top note 
of the chord.  Like the 'A' from the below chord.  It does it with other chords as well.  Does 
anyone know why & how to fix this from reoccurring?

Logic 6.4.2
EXS24 mkII
Sample:  EMU Proteus Vintage Plus Instruments.bk/Taurus 2
Chord from bottom up: C - F - A

Thanks, Mitchell

You might have inadvertently switched the EXS to mono or legato mode.  Open
the offending EXS and check at the top.  Also, if you were in touch or write
automation mode when it happened, it probably recorded the change so you'll
have to switch it back to poly on the EXS and remove the switch in the
corresponding automation track.

Or the EXS polyphony is set to 1 (change in Instrument Editor). 
Since the Moog Taurus was monophonic, the patch will indeed probably 
have either polyphony=1 or mode=mono/legato.
