Hi!
Can Logic handle that? I.e. 2 Midi drivers? I’m thinking of keeping ports 1-8 for my 8-port Midi controller. So that ports-9 onwards can be used for USB Midi. Am I thinking along the right lines? Are there any problems or things to watch out for? I have an old PowerPC iMac running OSX 10.4.11. Thanks for any help. |

yes
no… First if all, (ports-9 onwards), I have no idea what you are referring to. The Yamaha USB Driver has its own ports within Logic. The main port accesses the xf’s tone generator. The second, anything physically connected to the motif’s MIDI out jack. The third, is for remote control of Logic via the motif. |

Thank you motif8mine! I think I get it now. I was thinking wrong. I’ve just checked the setup in Logic and the ports 1-8 are local to the particular driver of the Midi controller I’m using and they’re in my case called AMT-1, AMT-2, .. up to -8. Somehow I was thinking of this port numbering as being global to the PC! So in this case, if I understand this right, When I install the USB driver I’ll just have the additional 4 ports called something like USB-1, USB-2 up to -4, in addition to my existing AMT-1, -2, etc. In this case I’d be able to route one Logic Midi track to, let’s say, AMT-2 (addressing one of my other instruments) and route another Midi track to USB-1 addressing the Motif. Have I got it right? Thanks/Omar |
