[LAM] Midi in to multiple EXSmkII's via Enviroment?
2002-12-05 by randwman
Greetings (I'm a bit new to Logic 5.5 Mac OSX.. Hope the below is fairly cear!) How does one setup in the environment Midi in to EXSmkII? I have 3 keyboards in my studio and want each one to play/record a different EXSII enabled track simultaneously ... I've patched a port from the 'Physical Input' object to a 'Audio Instrument' fader object... I set the 'Audio Instrument' fader objects 'midi cha' to the same # as the instruments #... (necessary I believe?) even set the 'port' in keyboard ch# to match (necessary?)... BUT I don't get the signal to the object when I play/record (unless I select the track... which defeats my pre 'Sequencer Input' object patching...) What am I doin wrong? A side question: Is it true that when one wants to record multiple midi input port/ channels one patches the ports used directly to the 'Sequencer Input' object?... Then one "selects" & record enables a track set to 'No Input'... (One does not select or record enables other tracks with Insrument assignments or with midi out assignments... Right?) Record the muti port/channel performance, THEN use the 'Demix by Event Channel' under 'Functions'...? (Which puts the data in the other prepared tracks that have the channel/Instrument assignments... Unfortunately, it never assigns them all correctly and I have to manually drag a few track objects to my intended destinations... arrgh. ) Is this the best proedure ?.... THANKS for any help! rR
