Hi, I've been playing around with the Ambient Music Generator that was described in the Feb chapter of Logic 303 (Logic TNT 2). Its a very cool thing. I have what may be a silly question, How do you record the output of the generator while still adding notes to the loop in real time? Any help with this would be much appreciated. Many Thanks.

OK, I found this; http://www.macprovideo.com/forum/logic/tips-n-tricks&id=16142 which works great. But I'm still sort of confused because the different voices (channels) all end up in one track. I think I'm not getting the "the channel strips would need to be set to corresponding midi channels" part. I have the channel strips set so Inst 1 is set to MIDI Channel 1, Inst 2 is set to MIDI Channel 2, etc. Can anyone shed some light on this? Many Thanks

I think I am still missing something. Here is the set up I have now: [img]http://koan22.com/images/enviro.png[/img] But it must not be set up correctly. Can you help me out with more about how to set up the delay loop so individual instruments will record their own output only? Currently all the output ends up in one track. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Hi Rounik, Thanks very much for getting back to me. I think I figured it out. I checked along each signal path to be sure the channel settings all matched for the track in question and found some discrepancies. After tweaking them it all seemed to work OK. Thanks for your help getting me over the hump in this project. Much appreciated.

Hi, Is it possible to set up a Delay Object in the Environment Window in such a way that one can control the amount of delay (or trans, or velocity, or # repeats) with a MIDI controller? The idea being to change these parameters in performance. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to set up an M-Audio Trigger Finger as my control surface for a Looping set up in MS2.1. I have created several instances of Loopback and mapped the controls successfully. The trouble is I can't figure out how to control each instance of Loopback separately. In other words, when I press a button on the control surface all the instances of Loopback respond. How can I set it up so I can control only one instance of Loopback at a time? I have tried sending Bank change message but nothing seems to happen. Many Thanks for any help with this.

Thank you Rounik for your reply. "Have you created separate screen controls for each instance of Loopback" - Yes I think so. I am working with 2 instances. "then mapped each screen control to a hardware control" - If this is how you activate an individual Loopback instance it must be the part I don't get. Can you describe more about how this is done? In the Core Mainstage 2 tutorial chapter on setting up multiple instances of Loopbacks it mentions about assigning them to "scenes" on a midi keyboard. I guess I'm not clear about how this operation is done on a trigger finger.
