Hi all ........I (and the band) currently have 3 controller keyboards, a drum pad triggering ultrabeat sounds and a micro-korg; all going into logic (on seperate channels) and each playing their own respective software synths by means of the "split demix by channel" function.......so far so good. My problem is that we have our first gig in 15 days and I need to set up the controller keyboards to change the sounds for each song.....My knowlege of Controlling Software synths is shady at best....so i came up with a less than ideal workaround for this a few days ago..... this entailed... (deep breath!)setting up all the synth sounds that we need for the gig on their own separate track (some twenty or so of them) then bypassing them all so as they all wouldn't play at the same time....I then set up a marker for each song and a "goto marker" command was set up on one of the controller keyboards to be able to change songs remotely........ie when I press button 8 of my controller keyboard, the spl jumps to marker 8 and the automation kicks in and all the relevant synths and sounds for song 8 are now "unbypassed" ....... ok should work in theory, but it doesn't............most of the newly "unbypassed" synths don't want to take to their incoming midi channel so it sounds like a really bad (or good!) eighties sci-fi film So the criteria are as follows! In fifteen days or less......! I need to be able to press a button (well maybe just a few!) on my controller keyboard and the synth will magically change from ....say a nice bubbly bass on an es1 to an other-worldly bell sound on the efm at the same time maybe, just maybe ,the drummer and guitarist might also be able to change their sounds......without needing from me a) guidance, b) constant reassurances or c) general mothering :) equipment.....m-audio oxygen, m-audio something(cant remember the name ...you kno the black jobbies with the blu screen) medeli-- cheapo drum computer (only sends midi on channel 10 for some reason) motu fastlane micro korg yamaha 01v96 running on mlan network logic 7.2.3 mac, intel, osx 10.4.10
