Unfortunately MOTU apps can't be used with LC Xmu because MOTU in their infinite wisdom do not support control surfaces used via virtual CoreMIDI ports - the control surface communication is via hardware ports only. > Perhaps I just don't read enough posts (this is a very busy > list) but I've not seen any MOTU/ LC users hoping for this kind of > split functionality. There was some complaining about this problem on osxaudio.com and sonikmatter that I remember. I'm doing this for a real LC/MC because I want to be able to switch mine between Logic and TotalMix, and the ability was mostly there in current LC Xmu betas anyway. > The demand for this kind of functionality is only going to increase, > and maybe Apple might build it right in one day, but that's a lot of > maybes and at best it would be way off IMO.

It requires using the older Logic 7.0.1 LC control surface plugin (which doesn't do MC-mode), and booting the LC into Mackie Control mode, so Logic can't aggressively grab it (I really hope Logic will stop doing this in the future, no other apps do it without the user's permission). Then LC Xmu can handle it from there, though realistically only one app should write to the MC displays & LEDs, otherwise it gets just a bit messy & confusing. Advanced users only... In practice, it's also completely workable (and a lot easier to set up and use) to use LC Xmu's host-switching ability to quickly toggle the whole surface between hosts, allowing each host to think it has exclusive use of the LC/MC, with full update on each switch & no midi conflict. This currently works well, assigning the LC "user" button to rotate between Logic, Cubase, TotalMix, Live 5 etc - though running all four at once to test is really a strain for my poor old TiBook. Anyway, LC Xmu 2.0 will offer some useful abilities in these directions for LC/MC owners.
