  1. Yeah I get that, but triggering the track stack at the same time as other instruments outside of it is the issue I was trying to solve. Similarly to Atlas I’m not sure what the script is doing differently to just assigning individual midi channels per track (that correspond with controller midi outs) but I’ll definitely have a play with it and see if there’s anything useful there. Cheers.
  2. Yeah using track stacks to control several individual instruments within it always works quite smoothly, but it essentially stops you from being able to use a track stack (or drummer) as one of those instruments. That seems to be the real issue I’m having. I’m not sure if I’m wasting my time or not trying to find a solution to it.
  3. Thanks for the response. Though that does seem like quite a gaping whole in functionality. I love what the drummer channels do but there are some odd behaviours and things you’re unable to control that would be really handy. Is main stage any better than logic for being able to treat a bunch of midi instruments/controllers like real live instruments in a band?
  4. Hi, I'm having issues getting my controllers to trigger specific midi channels in a consistent way, particularly when using track stacks. For the sake of simplicity, say the setup looks like this - using single software instruments for each channel: Drum pad - Midi 1 - Drum Track Full keyboard - Midi 2 - Pad Mini keyboard - Midi 3 - Lead Turn on auto-demix, set midi in/out on controllers/Logic, record enable all channels and everything works as it should. Each controller triggers the corresponding instrument, regardless of which track is focussed. Introduce a track stack (multi-output drummer) in place of the drum track on Midi 1 and now it doesn't work so smoothly. It works fine with the drummer track (or any track stack) focussed, but as soon as I have another track focussed (say I want to edit smart controls with another controller/ipad) it's like Logic doesn't follow the established Midi routing. Similarly if I want something like this: Drum pad - Midi 1 - Drummer Drum pad - Midi 1 - Drum machine Full keyboard - Midi 2 - Pad Full keyboard - Midi 2 - Choir Mini keyboard - Midi 3 - Lead I am unable to trigger 2 channels with an input of Midi 1 from the same controller. I can play either drum channel individually when focussed, but the drum pad will now trigger other instruments too if selected. Is this just the way auto-demix works? In an ideal world I can have my drum pad locked to the drum channels, with rotaries allowing a blend between organic kit sounds and electronic/drum-machine sounds, and have the freedom to select other instruments in order to adjust smart controls etc. Is that more than Logic or Midi v1 can handle? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place for this info, but I don't find the menus for controller assignments easy to understand at all. I've tried toggling various settings to do with selected tracks etc. but never seem to get it correct. Should you be able to assign a controller (rather than 1 specific parameter) to an instrument (ideally more than 1) with the 'channel strip: software instrument x' window in 'controller assignments'? Do I need to be assigning Midi CC values or using the 'environment' rather than using the 'learn assignments' function? TL;DR - Can you control multiple instruments (and track stacks) via specific midi inputs at once, even on the same midi channel? Does using track-stacks prevent this from working? I'm using an M1/Big Sur and the latest Logic with Rosetta.
