Environment window: re-doing SUM cabling

Hi guys,

I have a Logic dilemma. Here's what caused it:

I was setting up EWQL Symphonic Choirs & Wordbuilder, which requires that you delete the SUM cable in the Environment window and recable things via various ports to get wordbuilder to work.

The problem: deleting the SUM cable means that EXS tracks won't respond to my foot pedal, which I have assigned to CC11 to control volume or expression.

The partial solution: I created a cable in Environment Window from SUM to the EXS track.

Problem part 2: I now have a second EXS track that I need to use the foot pedal on, BUT the enviro window will only let me cable out of one SUM into one EXS track.

The question: how do I keep adding more EXS tracks when I can only cable-out the SUM to one track? I need the next EXS tracks to also be responsive to my foot pedal.

Can anyone shed some light?

From within the Click & Ports window I did try to just cable the one EXS instrument to the next one, by going out from that little triangle at the top right of the channel into the next track, but it short-circuited the loop and I lost use of the track entirely. Hmmmm. This seems like it should be so simple, but it has me stumped!

Yes, you can't daisy chain like this or it will send all you instrument data from the first EXS to the second, notes and all!

Try this insetad:

In the environment window go to new>transformer. Cable your sum output into this. Now on the right hand side of the transformer create an output cable and attach it to your first EXS instrument. Once you've done this, a second output cable triangle should appear underneath the one you just created. Cable this to your second instrument. Additional outputs will continue to appear every time you create one, so you can use this method to split the signal as many times as you like. Can post a screenshot if it would help?
