This is the situation:
I have this wonderful midi controller: the Nectar lx49.
Except for a keyboard, it has 8 faders, 8 sliders, 8 pads, a lot of knobs, and the Pitch Bender and Modulation wheel, as well as transport controls. Most of all these controllers can not only be assigned to a CC value, but also to a MIDI channel.
So, I assigned the pads to midi channel 16. Having switched on 'auto demix' in Logic, I actually accomplished that, in multi track recording, the pads are sent to a drum track, while the keys are sent to a bass sound. Excellent!
This proves that the keyboard is able to send out different midi channels. And why not? That is what the thing is made for.
Now, next step, and this is where you guys come in:
If you look at the Alchemy synth, there is this wonderful 8-pad morphing layout.
Although I realize that the beauty of this layout is that you can swipe between the pads, left to right, up and down, etc, I would love to assign each of the Alchemy pads to an individual pad of my lx49.
So, the first question is: how do I assign an Alchemy pad to a controller AT ALL?
Seco question would be: how do I assign an Alchemy pad to a controller with a specific midi channel?
Third question would be: how do I make sure that that the midi channel assigned to Alchemy is ONLY picked up by Alchemy, and not by a track?
I hope this makes sense
