On Logic Pro X,With One midi Device can I control many instruments?

I've got 2 midi tracks with the same Synth Instrument each. From my midi device i set the first knob to the Freq Parameter from the first Instrument.

And i also set a second knob to the Freq Parameter from the second Instrument.

The problem is, When I press LATCH to record live these two Freq Pamateters the second knob is controlling the First Instrument, so i can't do my job.

Do you know why?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Are you referring to the Automation Mode "Latch"? This is different from standard recording mode.


Record Mode

In standard recording mode, you record the MIDI signal from your external MIDI controller as MIDI Events to a MIDI Region on your Track and also controls the MIDI components on your Instrument Plugin of your Channel Strip. The incoming MIDI signal is played/recorded on all Record-enabled Tracks.


Automation Mode

In Automation Mode, the signal from your external MIDI controller can be used to record Automation Data (which are Fader Events, visualized as Automation Control Points) to control virtually any onscreen controls in Logic. These Events can be recorded as Track Automation or as Region Automation. The important part is the setup. You use either Automation Quick Access (one Automation Parameter at a time), or use the Controller Assignments Window to configure a more elaborate scenario.


Hope that helps
