A basic question from a new list member. I recently upgraded to Pro, 
but its been a while, I'm very rusty.

I may be using Logic in a strange way. I build my own sequencers in 
another application and use logic as a live instrument. So I run both 
applications at the same time.

Now i want to assign midi channels to different instances of exs24 on 
different channels (with separate pans, sends, effects for each).

But it seems that only the "active" channel receives midi and it 
responds to all midi messages. Is there a way to use midi to drive 
multiple instances of exs24 on different channels?

Above is beginning to sound like a hint, but I dont understand.

Many Thanks,
-David

Create a Channel Splitter in the Audio (mixer) layer of the 
environemnt, and cable it into max. 16 EXS instances.  Assign the 
Channel Splitter to an Arrange track.
Now go and read FAQ 20.2, which tells you to insert I/O plug-ins in 
all EXS's, asssign the plug-ins and input and output (i.e. not the 
default "---") and then bypass all plug-ins.  Put Logic in 
play-mode... and it should work, at the cost of soem CPU cycles.
And read FAQ 20.2 anyway...
