It sounds from what you write above that you didn¹t, and are simply assuming it doesn¹t work. It does. The Quicktime Musical instrument will play back a standard MIDI file in Logic, and it separates the tracks into individual sounds, just like what you are asking. Don¹t confuse this with using Apple¹s Quicktime Player to play back the file! I am talking about inserting the player into the Logic environment so that it acts like a multi-timbral synthesizer-WITHIN Logic. Please go back and read my post, and try it. You will get all the instruments on separate tracks, which you can solo, mix, edit and anything else you want to do. The only thing you can¹t do is bounce to disk ­ but that is another discussion. If you actually did try it and still can¹t get it to work let me know and I¹ll try to help you again. Blair -- blairfisher@shaw.ca
