To keep the CPU strain down I have chosen to handle patch changes by setting up 128 Channel Strip Performances. I have a MIDI foot pedal that sends MIDI Program Change into the PB on MIDI Channel 1. Logic's Performances are preset to answer to MDI channel 1 incoming on the selected track. I'm mostly playing EWI, by MIDI, on this rig and at the moment I'm not in a position to verify that Performances called up by external MIDI PC also works on Audio Tracks. If not you can use saved Channel strips to call up by computer key commands. Or you might chose a different concept and set up a couple of parallel tracks with different insert effects as well as some bus effetcts for adding by the send knob of each track. Sorry, got to rush off for a train now.... Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
