Ok, I'm terrible with Midi. Here's my problem. I have 2 midi controllers (K2500 & DD55). I want the k2500 to trigger a Kontakt instrument and the dd55 to trigger a Battery instrument. I record enable both the Kontakt instrument and the Battery instrument. When I play the K2500 both instruments play. The same is true when I play the dd55 - both instruments play. How can I make the K2500 only trigger the Kontakt and the DD55 only trigger the Battery so I can record a live performance of both? Thanks Steve

Darth, I tried that, but didn't work for me. I should mention that I'm using OMS, don't know if that makes a difference. I tried so many different combinations already but can't seem to make it work and I think I'm a pretty smart guy ;) Steve

You can't play two Audio Instruments at the same time in Logic via realtime input. Any touted "solutions" involve massive latency on all but the first Audio Instrument. It sucks, it really does.

It sucks, it really does. ------------------------------------------------------------------ John, how bout 1 audio instrument and one midi instrument? I'll settle for triggering a midi module's drum sounds while recording and then switching to battery sounds afterwards. I just want to record the live input of drums and keys simultaneously. If that's not possible, then please tell me that 2 midi instruments is possible? Thanks Steve

Triggering two MIDI instruments is easy: create e.g. a new transformer in the environment and cable it to two instruments. Check the transformer's icon (in its parameter pane) and assign it to an arrange track. If your controller sends on two midi channels (split keyboard for example, or when using 2 controllers on different channels), make the transformer a Condition Splitter, and set the Conditions Cha parameter to e.g. "=1". The all channel-1 messsages will leave the 1st outlet and all other channels will leave the 2nd outlet of the transformer (and will thus reach the 1st and 2nd instrument separately). If you want to play 2 instruments in parallel (stacked), just leave the transformer at its default settings (= do nothing). The same method works with one audio instruments plus external instruments as well -- just as long as you don't use more than one audi instrument. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com
