Single MIDI message triggers multiple Software Instruments?

Hi guys,

I have been trying to figure out how to achieve this for quite a while now. I guess the key must be hidden in Logic's Environment features so I'd be happy if an expert would comment on this.

Anyway, this is what I intend to do: A single MIDI message (i.e. programmed on a seperate software instrument channel) should trigger multiple other soft-instruments. This makes sense if all used soft-instr. share the same GM standard, like drum-instruments. So my idea is i.e. to concentrate on and edit one single midi-channel to which other soft-instruments relate.

Sure, I may copy my main midi-sequence to the other soft-instruments tracks manually, but as the arrangement progresses you have to correct every single change done within the master midi-sequence on the copied sequences,too, and that is a real pita.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate 🙂
Vic

Just draw some cables in your environment to link the Software Instruments together. At the upper right of each channelstrip there is a little jack - drag that to the instrument you want to link.
Or setup cloned regions in your Arrange - changing Midi in the the master region will affect all it's clones.
