External multi instrument

Hello!

I wonder if anybody can help me with the multi instrument and external instrument in logic x. Some time I use my yamaha s70xs keyboard as a sound source and I think all my setting are right for everything works well except that all my 5 external tracks seems go to reverb bus even though the track don’t send anything. So if I turn the send knob up on the external guitar track in the mixer to the reverb bus, I hear the drum track in the reverb. The guitar track sending midi cannel 3 and drum track on midi 1. Midi tracks is on midi cannel 1-5 External tracks midi on cannel 1-5. I have 2 multi instrument in midi Environment window one for drums and one for all the other instrument. Whats wrong?

Hello!

Is there any one out there how use external synth together with logic and use the external instrument as an input

and send it to logic’s plugins.

all my 5 external tracks seems go to reverb bus even though the track don’t send anything.

Can you post a screenshot of the mixer showing those 5 tracks, the reverb bus, and the activity on the meters (so we can see where there's audio signal present)?

 

Click this link to your signature and add your system information:

• Logic version and sub-version (e.g. Logic 10.0.3)

• OS X version and sub-version (e.g. OS 10.8.5)

• Computer (e.g. MacBook, Mac Pro, iMac)

• Processor (e.g. 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

• Memory (e.g. 2GB)

• Audio interface manufacturer and model (e.g. Presonus AudioBox USB)

• MIDI Controller manufacturer and model (e.g. M-Audio Axiom Pro 49)

 

(most of that information can be found by choosing Logic Pro X > About Logic Pro X, and  > About This Mac)

Tanks you for your answer. For me is the first time I send a screenshot. But here is a try.

So assuming Aux 3 has its input set to Bus 2, several of the instrument tracks have sends to Bus 2 and are sending the signal to that Aux.... if you don't want it there, option-click the Bus sends?

Your issue seems to be related to the way you routed your audio from your Yamaha keyboard to Logic.according to the manual your Yamaha s70xs has two discrete audio outputs. If you intend to record in realtime, that limits you to two different mono audio sources from your Yamaha keyboard, each assigned to its discrete External Instrument track.

Good call Atlas. I didn't realize that the OP is using multiple external instrument plug-ins that are most likely set to the same inputs. That means the mix of all instruments is played by each one of the Inst channel strips (solo one of them and you should hear all the instruments).

So this is the point. So I must have 5 different synth and 5 inputs on my audio interface If I vill decide the quantity of reverb for each part.

that would be one way to make it work. One way or another, Logic needs to have access to the individual sound of an instrument if you want Logic to add reverb to that sound individually. Right now you're feeding Logic the mix, so there's nothing Logic can do to process your instruments individually.

 

Atlas suggested you record your instruments as audio tracks, one by one. That's a solution to have their individual audio recordings available to Logic and therefore be able to process them individually.

Thank you very much David I think I understand. S70 have 4 discrete outputs so I vill see what I can do with these.

You're welcome.

Then if you get an audio interface with 4 instrument inputs, you can use up to four MONO external instrument plug-ins, or two STEREO external instrument plug-ins.
