Check www.swiftkick.com for some examples on how to create such environments. By the way, in case you want to control all Machinedrum parameters in Logic (MD = local off), you need to: 1) make sure the "sequencer input" object does NOT channelize. You can find this in the parameters of this object (in the environment) 2) make sure the midi instrument you're using is set to "all channels" instead of a specific channel. This way, you can automate and control the MD from within Logic without any restrictions. Enjoy. Perhaps Elektron could put this info on their website? Bye, Joeri -- Joeri Vankeirsbilck joeri@...
