Playing instruments on multiple tracks simultaneously

[carrmar]

Last night my buddy, playing with ultrabeat, was drumming away on an MPD16 and I wanted to play something on the EXS24. However, once I switched to the EXS24 I lost sound on Ultrabeat.

 

I know how to record arm multiple tracks at once, but how do I configure Logic so I have one device (my MPD16) controlling Ultrabeat and another (my keyboard) controlling the EXS24 on a different track?

 

I think I knew this at one point...

In your recording settings, select "Auto demix by channel if multi-track recording". Then set the controllers to send on different MIDI channels, and adjust the MIDI Channel of each track accordingly in the Track Parameters (below the region parameters, top of the Inspector).

I am looking all around but can't figure out how to adjust the midi channel for each device.

 

When I look in the environment, the various "Ports" do not have parameters that I can adjust. Where else would I do this?

 

I looked in the settings and couldn't figure it out.

Top of the Inspector...

I apologize, David, I meant: where do I assign the midi SEND for each DEVICE?

 

I know how to assign the midi channel for each track, but I how do I assign the MPD16 and the Keystation Pro to send on different channels? Where is is the device control inside of Logic?

 

Does that make sense?

On the device itself: try to find it in your MIDI options, or look up the device's manual.

Gotcha. Thanks.

If you were using kontakt for instance and wanted to use multiple channels from there how would you do so??
