Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi All,
   Hoping someone can help with this as searches have not helped this 
far.  OK,  so I create a track for a virtual instrument (Stylus/Virus 
TI)in Logic. No problem there everything works fine.  Next, I add 
another track (new instrument/next midi channel) for the same 
instrument on the next midi channel.  Now,  I can play the instrument 
from this next midi channel, BUT, if I change the volume fader or want 
to mute just one channel,  EVERY channels volume changes and/or all 
channels are muted if I hit mute.  I'm sure this HAS to be something 
simple that I've been overlooking but I've not been able to figure it 
out.  
    Any help will be appreciated!    Thanks in advance,  Randy

Are you sure its a new midi channel? There are two keycommands - one for make 
a new track using the same channel, and make a new track with the next 
channel. If you mute or move the fader and the other tracks move too - thats 
probably the reason. Open the extended track parameters and check the midi channel on 
each track. That should tell you something.

Although its possible to create a group to do this, but you would have to go 
to some effort to do that. Another remote possibility is that on the 
environment there is a mono instrument or some cabling or something but again that 
wouldn't happen to easily.

Randy,

      Back when I was in Logic 7, many many months ago, I used logic in the manner that it 
seems you're trying to do it now.  On the Synthogy website they had a tutorial, I forget if it 
was a video or article, that talked you through setting up a Logic environment that  had 
Stylus set up as a multi-instrument (individual midi channels).  Then you just "save as 
template."  

      Now, in Logic 8 I haven't bothered to set it up yet, I usually just need one or two 
instances of Stylus and so I just set them up on individual channels and if I run into CPU 
issues, I'll freeze the Stylus track.

     Let us know how this gets resolved!  I'm sure that people on this board will be buying 
Omnisphere, and will want to do the same sort of thing!!

     Pete
