How do I record multiple midi instruments in Logic Pro simultaneously on separate tracks?sim

Hi. I am trying to record multiple midi instruments simultaneously into Logic Pro 9 through a MOTU USB Fas Lane so that it is similar to recording a live band.


Essentially:


Track 1: Midi Keyboard - Motu Fast Lane Input A - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Absynth)

Track 2: Midi Drum Kit - Motu Fast Lane Input B - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Battery)


Neither Midi device can be set to a separate channel.


I would have thought this was a really common application (recoding from multiple live midi sources like a band would normally do) yet it seems unnecessarily complicated.


I gather what I would have to do involves:


1) Going into the Environment.

2) Creating a Physical Input

3) Creating a Sequencer Input

4) Placing a transofrmer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input


Where to go ffrom there I have not got a clue!


Any help would be appreciated.


Incidentally I would also like to record two audio tracks at the same time as the midi track, but hoepfully that does not complicate things further.


Thanks,

Luke

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
