DarkIVI Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Dear Logic users, I've been searching around on this forum but frankly I'm lost. I don't know what to look for So I hope I didn't just post a topic that already has been talked about for millions of times. Here's my question and problem. I use a few PLAY libraries from East West with logic 8 besides kontakt for the SO platinum...but PLAY 's the issue right now cause in a while my PLAY upgrade will be deliverd..woohoo If I use a single instance of PLAY on a multi-timbral track I have, like so many others, problems with automation for each single instrument in the instance. I've been wandering around on the internet searching for sollotion for my problems but I really don't understand anything from all that could be done in the enviroment. I tried several tutorials with all the same conclusions....I can't get it to work. What to do....please help a desperate man with his issues So in short. - PLAY library on Logic 8. - Multi timbral track with (lets say) 8 instruments - How to get it so that I can automate them seperatly. Thanks for your time. Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 you need to create a multi-out instance of the instrument, asign each instrument to its own output hit the little "+" on the multiout inst (thus, creating aux tracks) automate the aux tracks thats the only thing thats a bit well.. not so convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkIVI Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ok thanks...but I'm already lost again SO here's what I do. - I first create a multitimbral track - I choose PLAY Mutli OUT - I load 5 instruments and in the player select out-put 1-2 then for the next 3-4 and so on? -The problem is that I only have 1-2 out puts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've read somewhere that the PLAY engine was designed for efficient usage of multiple instances. So in theory you could avoid the inconvenience of multitimbral setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 close, you dont select physical outputs, you select out and a dropdown menu will be Inst1: and here you select outputs or you could do it like fred B said, multiple instances instead of multitimbrality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkIVI Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks Ploki and Fred, It works now. It eventualy got through my thick skull that this had to be done in the enviroment window . Anyway...thanks. Oh and Fred, yes I know this is better now with PLAY but still. I hope I get less overloads now anyways...and I just wanted to know how this worked. I read so many difficult options that I couldn't stand not understanding but the option Polki gave was (shamefully) easy. Thanks guys.
