They are meant to trigger external synths, and produce no sound on their own. I¹m guessing that is your problem, but as Dennis says, you will need to give us more information about your setup. You could insert a quicktime synth to use those tracks ­ check the manual Blair -- blairfisher@shaw.ca

Any >ideas what i should do to get this work ? Well, the first thing to do is come to terms that Logic is a totally different beast than Garage Band, it's not really an upgrade. Garage Band is based on Logic technology but is much more user friendly for someone new to MIDI. In Logic, you will need to set everything up, basically...create your own template. None of the instrument icons Logic has in it's default song are connected to anything, this can be a source of confusion. Read up on the AUinstrument tracks, how to load and activate one of Logic's synths or the EXS24 sampler. You should ave some tracks labeled Inst 1, Inst 2, Inst 3....etc. This is a good place to start. Double clicking on one of the instrument tracks will open Logic's track mixer, right below the I/O label and above the output 1-2 selector is an empty slot. Here, you can click/hold and Logic will give you a selection of instruments to load. Load one of the synths, now you should hear something. HW
