Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I am a little confused here. You have two different audio interfaces. Logic 
can only use one at a time. You set them up in the audio-midi utility that 
apple provides, then in Logic you go to the audio hardware window and choose one 
or the other.

For your keyboard controller you don't have to do much of anything other than 
hook it up. For each midi synth module, you need to go to the environment and 
activate the 16 channels (or fewer depending on how many they have - e.g. 
Nova only has 6 channels). For each one, the most critical thing is that you 
assign a port. I am not familiar with the midi ports on the Firewire 410 but I 
think its a single port. I used the Emagic AMT8 which provides 16 channels and 
its own port for each synth. You may be limited to using the single port and 
having to set individual channels to different synths - which means you have to 
set them on the hardware side too. For example channels 1-4 for synth A, and 
5-8 for synth B. Its a bit of a headache. You might want to get something with 
multiple ports.

Not sure if I understood your question but I hope that helps.
