Dewdman42 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 that is not routing it within LPX neither is that, and by the way midipipe uses IAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yea you are right... Thought you meant OSX's intrinsic IAC capabilities. The physical loopback was just a cool idea. While not related to plugins - you can go from one external Midi track to another... directly... by cabling the the output of the instrument object to the input of the sequencer..

Dewdman42 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 The issue that comes up with a lot of people on LPX is trying to use various midi oriented plugins inside of a mixer channel, that output midi which can't escape the mixer channel by any other way, other than the external instrument plugin, through IAC and back into LPX. As I was saying earlier, DP has the ability to create midi busses which can basically be accessed from pretty much anywhere, so routing midi from here to there in DP is dead simple, obvious, clear and explicit. With LPX, it can't always be done. If Apple will ever provide a way for midi in a mixer channel to be output through the mixer object's cable connector...then this issue would be solved. I feel that DP's midi buss concept is very straight forward, concise and easy to figure out and easy to see visually what is going on in a project. LPX Environment cablings can sometimes be a bit complicated, even for a simple purpose that could be solved easily with midi busses. Yes, you can do some tricky stuff in the environment. But then sometimes simple tasks are overly complicated there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, in someway, has the negative effect on the developpers team to invest less effort into improving a feature that few people uses anyway... Have you posted a feature request about same on the Logic Feedback website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 yes and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Many developers have asked for it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonwind Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Forget about demixing multiple tracks at the same time simultaneously for right now, I wasn't referring to that. Let's say I have two different external devices. I don't want to use them both at the exact same time, but I want to switch back and forth between recording midi to one track or the other. Why do you think the benefits of auto demix is only related to simultaneity? Here are two videos..... Sorry for the quality - I did them quick. The first one shows selecting different tracks at will, without actually highlighting them. Then I show disabling midi thru - which you can verify by watching the Midi IN/Midi Out display at the top. You can also see it becomes effective after I record toggle. The 2nd video I show you don't even have to record on the same multi - I created a track and assigned it no output. Then disabled midi thru - then recorded and they recorded correctly.. Just as if I would have selected the tracks headers. Auto demix is very powerful and allows full flexibility. test1.gif test2.gif I'm now trying to set mine up too this way but in video 2 I did the same thing but it still is echoing out the MIDI. I feel like I am missing a step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
