Hi John,

I had a quick whizz through connecting hardware synths to my Mac then 
routing Cirklon's output into it....

OK, no problem doing this. Cirklon sends normal MIDI which you route 
through Logic in the same way as you do your master keyboard. It 
sequenced my Access Virus fine, just as if I were playing it via a keyboard.

Oops, I don't know where to select specific MIDI inputs in Inspector, 
that appears to offer only the output field? Anyway, all live inputs 
will drive the selected track/instrument unless, I suppose, you start 
fiddling in the Environment. I'm not a big Logic expert really but if 
you can tell me where to select the inputs I can try in more detail. I 
can do this in Cubase as I know Cubase a bit better.

Did you mean using the Cirklon's USB output rather than one of its MIDI 
outputs? OK, did this once I found a USB cable long enough to reach (had 
to add a hub in the middle). Then I defined an instrument in Cirklon as 
USB1 MIDI channel 1 and sent notes. Again, works as normal.

Will do this next, seem to recall testing this many months ago but will 
check again.

All the best (and hope this helps),

Paul
