Just so you also know: you'll be able to tap off the ports from the Physical Input in Gold or Platinum, but it's still not going to be possible to record the ports separately - for recording you're still stuck with a merged-to-16-channels scenario. There are potential workarounds for that too, but they're not pretty. And multitrack midi recording in Logic is a pretty awful kludge. If designating "tracks X, Y, and Z always record ports/channels A1, B1 and C1, regardless of what track is currently selected" for multiple simultaneous midi sources is extremely important for your working style, Logic is probably not the app for you.
