I have posted this in diffferent forums but have not had any help so here goes again: I have an drum loop on an audio track in Logic. I have a plug in inserted across this track (usually Absynth 3 or Korg legacy FX). I wish to use these plugins to process the audio loop. However, i can only use the plugins synth engine, filters etc when the amplitude envelope is triggered. (Put simply; Absynth and Korg Fx will only allow me to process the audio loop when the 'virtual' keys on their respective GUI's are pressed.) The only way to achieve what i am after is to actually click on the keyboard and click the 'hold' function (In Absynth that is). The Korg FX plug in has no such fucntion and so am severly limited when using this. Is there any way for these plug ins, inseretd across and audio track, to recieve midi note on/off data from an audio instrument or midi track? What about cabling? Is it possible to cable the output from a midi track , with a recorded midi sequence on it, to the audio track with Absynth or Korg plug in on, thus triggereing the synths engine and enabling processing of the loop? I have tried this and had no success but may be doing something wrong?? Why do auido tracks in logic have the cabling icon if they cant be routed anywhere? I would love some help with this one. Cheers guys John

There was recently a thread about that here. The conclusion was: if you see your plugins in the submenu "AU MIDI controlled FX" then yes. If your plugin isn't listet there you cannot use it that way. > What about cabling? Is it possible to cable the output from a midi > track , with a recorded midi sequence on it, ... Basicly yes, but (see above) only if Logic supports it for that plugin. I myself do not know if it is a shortcoming of Logic or of the AU version of the plugin. Orren and Sascha see it as Logic issue and they are usually right. > Why do auido tracks in logic have the cabling icon if they cant be > routed anywhere? The MIDI messages of audio objects can be routet. But there are no "active" messages, only plugin parameters or something you send in yourself. Shame. ___ Peter Ostry
