i had a problem with a korg nano that killed logic on startup...try disconnecting all other external gear. sometimes it's that.

i have a mackie control midi device plugged into my fireface 800 (rme) to control its internal mixer/router. the fireface is connected via firewire to my mac. regardless of what track i am on, or even if there are no tracks in the arrange window, midi data is received from logic (received from the Mackie control)...and... somehow, it has been 'thru'-ed to my synths as well... this means that when i move a slider on the mcc (mackie control), it moves faders on the mixer window in logic, and (in certain conditions) then it Thru's that signal to my synths giving me the typical crazy midi messages that MCC is programmed to make (high pitched squealing, weird note #s, etc - mackie design). so, my question is - how can i just CANCEL the midi in's from the fireface? it's very cool to have the MCC hooked up because it can control headphone mixes really quick, and not even need the host (logic) to be running. there must be a way to DISABLE the midi input from the MCC into logic. i have deleted it as a control surface, but that does not prevent the midi information from reaching my synth! it also doesn't change the fact that logic still SEES it... there must be a way to have this disconnected from the logic environment??? ex. from cubase - there are lists of what your inputs are/are not, and you have full control of what inputs are used, and which are not... it would be nice to have a feature like this in Logic - where you could keep your gear plugged in, and setup, but just decide (even in templates?) which setup you were going to use or not....? is this possible??? please advise. thanks.
