[LAM] Using a second Mac with Logic as a sound module - GigaStudio style

2003-11-20 by Damir

Hi,

I just purchased a G5. I'd like to use my old G4 as a 'sound module', running another 
version of Logic and using my existing EXS sound library as one would use a 
GigaStudio - triggering the sounds on the G4 from the G5 and recording that MIDI 
info on the Logic running on the G5. Sounds simple enough. I've done this with the 
GigaStudio and Logic, and it works like a charm.

 The problem is, I can't get it to work with the current setup. The problem is that the 
G4 Logic will only play the sounds from the Audio Instrument that is currently 
selected in the Arrange window. If i have an EXS instrument on MIDI channel 1 loaded 
with a piano sound, and an EXS instrument on MIDI channel 2 loaded with a string 
sound, and I record a part for each instrument  in Logic on the G5, when I play those 
parts back, only the instrument currently selected on the G4 will sound.

I have tried patching the physical input object directly to the Audio Instruments, I've 
tried using the channel splitter, I've tried standing on my head and rubbing my 
belly...nothing worked. At this point I'm thinking it's either so simple and obvious 
that it's staring me in the face and I just don't see it, or that it can't be done on Logic. 
Any ideas would be appreciated...
