Couple of Simple logic Questions

Afternoon all,
I have a couple of very simple logic questions which I'm almost
too embarrassed to ask, but I just can't seem to find the answer to them. Hope you don't
mind!
1) When I load up new software instruments one of the channel strips
always defaults to EVP88. Is there any way I can change this so that it loads up blank?
2) Whenever I play in something on midi, the performance is always automatically
quantised to 1/4 note. Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks, as ever, for all
your help!

i don't used software instruments or midi very often, so I may not have all the answers...
but I just tried loading a software instrument channel and it came up blank with no
instrument.. I do remember it used to load up with the evp88, but that was a
while ago.. possibly when I was using Logic 8 (now on Logic 9), so they may have changed
that in Logic 9 perhaps (or maybe in one of the incremental updates) Which
version are you using? Is your quantise setting set to off.. I tried recording
some midi notes and they did not get quantised automatically (with the quantise setting
set to off).

ok, I think I have found the answers for you.
1.. When you create a new
track, in the new track dialog box, un-tick the "Open Library" tick box, then it will load
up blank.
2.. On the track inspector (with no region selected), turn quantise
off.

Thank you so much. First one completely solved, just a bit confused about where the track
inspector is....... (I feel a bit like a dunce!)

P.S.
I'm on Logic 9.1.7

the track inspector is on the left of the arrange page. If you click the "Inspector"
button in the toolbar, or press "i" on the computer keyboard (while the arrange page has
focus), then the Inspector will appear/disappear. When you have no regions
selected then the inspector is focused on the track.. if you have a region selected, then
it is focused on the selected region.. The quantise setting is the top-most
parameter in the inspector.

Ahha! Yes, I was looking in the correct place. I've just managed to replicate the
problem:
It doesn't happen when I start a new template and record a few tracks,
but after about 8 or 9 tracks it assumes that I want all subsequent tracks automatically
quantised the same way - very odd.
Hope that makes sense
Any
thoughts?!

that does sound odd.. at the point where it starts quantising your midi notes,
is the quantise setting in the inspector still set to off? have you changed the
quantise setting at all since opening the project? Perhaps your just getting
really good at playing in time!!!

Ha! I'd have noticed if my timing had got better!. My workflow generally goes like
this:
* Record midi part - at this point quantise is set to off
*
Quantise the part appropriately using the pull down menu in track inspector (not piano
roll)
Repeat for other tracks
It's after about 8 or 9 tracks that
the pull down menu in track inspector is automatically set to a quantise function and I
have to generally change it to a more appropriate figure.
Very weird!

I've been playing with the inspector settings a bit.. When I said "when there are no
regions selected the inspector is focused on the track" I was wrong.. when there are no
regions selected then the inspector settings are global for all midi input - it says "MIDI
Thru" at the top of the inspector. If you change the quantise setting (with no
regions selected), then the same quantise setting will be used for all new tracks (as it
is a global setting) until you turn off the quantise. Hope that makes sense
