Hi, The answers are: 1. You can control non-GM keyboards and their parameters from with Logic. The environment gives you massive flexibility to do so. It is not something that you can be expected to come to grips with in 1 session but it is possible. You can set up the patch names, banks etc fairly easily, and then move on to midi control of anything that can be midi controlled. The latter will take a bit more time to develop. I would start with just looking at getting a multi (environment object) set up with the correct names for each patch so you can select them. 2. The score is the default editor but Logic also supports the matrix editor (piano roll style editor) and event list editing (actual midi events with their time tags and numerical values). I use a PC so I just hold down the ctrl key while double clicking on the sequence to bring it up in the matrix editor. There are also hot keys for many of these operations. Check out the key commands window. It gives you an excellent idea of the features of the the software you are using. You will be really surprised at just how excellent Logic is at giving you the control you want. Enjoy, :~) Ray PS. there are also books and internet courses available for people who are just getting into music on a computer and that also act as a jump start for new logic users. Don't be too discouraged at the learning curve. It really is worth it.
