Arkaos or other VJ software via Rewire within Logic

I'm looking for some kind of How-To guide with regard to setting up Arkaos VJ software within Logic.
I've searched this forum and seen no mention of "Arkaos," so I'm not sure if I'll get any response to this.
I have posted in a specific Arkaos forum, but that's not a very active forum, so my query there didn't get any response yet.

Basically, what I want to do is record keyboard movements for Arkaos using Logic, so that when I press a note in Logic, the corresponding video-note is played from Arkaos -- and I want to be able to save these movements, so that I can edit or re-play them later.

Hi there! I don't know if the following will work out, but yesterday I was trying to rewire Reason to Logic using this guide:

Now I happen to have the Arkaos demo installed on my pc and while I was setting up the whole reason thing in Logic I noticed that next to all the reason channels, I saw Arkaos channels that could be selected.

I just took a look at my work from yesterday and when you've created internal rewire objects, you can set device to ARkaos VJ. Which would presumely give you the possibility to control arkaos through Logic.

If all of this is similar to the reason setup, you might have to go into Arkaos preferences and make sure that you disable all midi control in Arkaos itselfs.

Here's the reason thing about it:

Let me know if that works out, the possibility of using logic and arkaos together seems a very interesting way to explore the A/V world.

Thank you for the link to the "settingupreasonwithlogic" site. I read that, and it gave me a few ideas.

I also found this thread on a Logic users group:

Well, I still don't know how I did it, but after a bit of trial and error, it seems to be working. I am elated. This is going to really transform my audio/visual capability.

I'll post back here in a day or two, and confirm that it's working smoothly, since I don't have much time today to explore it.
