The External Instrument's audio is coming up on another channel?

Each keyboard is routed L and R into the MOTU mk3 interface.

So ex: the Motif is routed into the channels 5-6.

In the MIx window of the MOTU, I did have the imputs of each keyboard set as stereo (thats how it was by default).

I deselected the stereo button via MOTU mix window, and changed each keyboard to mono.

This still didnt work.

I created an EI, and set the imputs to 5-6 for the Motif and I see nothing coming in on its channel via Logic. (And the Universal track mode is turned on BTW)

Just to try something, I changed the input of the motif to 7-8 from the EI window....then I see something coming in on the channel strip in Logic.

Again, its probably something small that I cant see right now.

But help me out in regards to the Motu mix wiondow.

Is that where this problem is starting?

Thanks

Another thing I would like to add, is my spoeakers are routed to the Main Outs of the MOTU.

However, in the MOTU Audio set up, the "Main Out Assign" is set to "Analog 1-2"

thats the only way I can hear anything.

I just dont see why "main out assign" wouldnt be signed to non-other than "Main Out".

I dunno...please help.

thanks

OK, so I did all of this...

Default Stereo Input = Analog 1-2

Default Stereo Output = Main Out 1-2

Phones Assign = Main Out 1-2

Main Outs Volume = Main Outs

But now I cant hear the software instruments from Logic.

I can hear the External Instruments but thats because the local control from whichever keyboard Im triggering is still on.

If I switch the Main Out 1-2 to Analog 1-2 (from MOTU Audio setup) ...then I can hear the software instruments from Logic and I can turn of the local control from the EI and also hear that as well, but I dont get any input signal for the EI from its assigned channel via Logic.

I even played a video from youtube to see where the audio is coming out and I only get audio when the Main Outs is selected (from the MOTU Audio setup window),...as Main Outs 1-2, not Analog 1-2.

Another thing I would like to point out is "clockworks".

For some reason I cant open it.

It tells me that it isnt reading my MOTU MIDI interface.

Is there something in there that needs to be adjusted to make this work?

Yes everything you just mentioned I have done.

What about if you go to (In Logic)

Options>Audio>IO Labels.

The column under "channel" output 1-2 and column under "provided by driver" Analog 1-2 is deselected.

I cant click the row.

Its as if Logic only read the output as analog 1-2...not "Main Out 1-2"

What in Audio MIDI setup.

How should that be setup?

When I clicked "Main Out" and clicked one of the speakers to test it...its LOUD STATIC...

If I select Analog 1-2 and click to test the speakers....nothing happens..

Ok I had a EUREKA! Moment..

Heres what I did.

Remember how when I would create an EI for lets say the Alesis.

Which is patched into the patchbay at inputs 1-2 and that was routed to inputs 1-2 into the 828 mk3.

But no signal would come in logic under inputs 1-2...only 3-4.

Well, I shifted each instrument over to the next input on the patchbay.

This time routing the alesis instead at inputs 1-2, to 3-4...but the alesis is still routed from patchbay 3-4 into inputs 1-2 at the 828 mk3.

I created an EI from Logic assigned the inputs of the alesis to 3-4 and I got signal into the channel.

I think what is happening here is that analog inputs 1-2 is also the mic/line inputs, and the mk3 wants to shift them over to the next channel...sounds confusing but you follow?

The other thing I did was assign the Main outs 1-2 back to Analog 1-2, and I can hear the software instruments from Logic as well as the EI's.

Now my only problem now is, When I play the EI, the notes a sustaining. Like mild playing....and the notes are sticking.

Whats going on now..lol.

Thanks for your help BTW.

-SIMOOL

Yes Local control is off.

Opened up CAPS LOCK and played EI from that, no sustain notes occured.

Its like if I play to fast or hard from the actual keyboard, then it sticks like crazy.

How about the "returned assigned" in MOTU Audio Setup? Whats that supposed to be.

And in the Audio MIDI Setup, I have each Keyboard routed to its designated port of the MOTU MIDI interface, but nothing is routed to the Audio Interface. I didnt think anything had to be routed to it, but just throwing everything out there.
