believe it or not, just 2 minutes after your reply i got it to work too (within logic X not mainstage tho): i checked the "use plug in for external instrument" box when creating a MIDI track. thats it... turns out it was right in front of my nose all long now we're both happy hahaha.

i just spent the last 48 hrs looking up a solution. i cant believe that only a handful of people are asking for this. the solution seems to be either so simple that noone cares to answer or so ridiculously impossible that it is just plain stupid to ask. would be glad to have an answer to this question too

hey fellas! i have this problem concerning the CHORD TRIGGER Midi FX wich seems so oddly simple yet i cant find anything about it online. following setup: i want to use the MPC Style pads on my Akai MIDI Controller to not trigger single notes, but chords, to get an MPC Sample like feeling for a certain live setup. the CHORD TRIGGER Midi FX seems to be the perfect solution, and as long as i am using it on an software instrument track it works just fine. but: the akai controller that i connected to my computer via USB is also connected to an external yamaha DX7 synth via MIDI. i can play single notes with single pads (or keys) setting up a midi track to send the notes and an audio track to play back the synth. no problem. why cant i implement the CHORD TRIGGER FX onto a midi track? to send chords instead of single notes to the DX 7?? is there ANY solution to this? it seems like the most simple thing in the world: make the computer send 3 or 4 MIDI notes (instead of 1) to an external instrument. just like on the software instrument track. yet i cant find any solution to this... is there any??? help would be much appreciated here! thank you guys! tim SOLVED: check the "use plug in for external instrument" box when creating a MIDI track and it should work just fine. thank you so much guys!
