Could anyone with Logic Studio 9 tell me if they've added an easy Multiple Midi Input feature?
Thanks very much

I'm not sure what you mean. Nothing has changed, but it's never been difficult to input from multiple MIDI devices at once. Logic could always receive input from multiple MIDI devices at once. If you want each device to record to a seperate track, be sure to check "Auto Demix by Channel" in the record settings.Could anyone with Logic Studio 9 tell me if they've added an easy Multiple Midi Input feature?
Dedicated input port setting per track for example? I guess this would make some things easier in regard to MIDI multi track recording.Is there some feature you're specifically missing?
What I said was it hasn't been difficult to input MIDI from multiple devices. There's a difference between "not difficult to configure" and "usable in a given situation."Orren: You call auto-demix "not difficult"???
I have never tried to do that, nor would I ever. I'm sure it's a bitch. But that's not what I was suggesting. The original poster offered no information as to what he was doing. Just asking if there is a "multiple input feature." Well, there is. There is no indication that the original poster wants to do what you want to do to do, or finds the lack of the available workflow, or 16 MIDI channel limitation an issue.Assuming you can pare everything down to just 16 channels, try managing auto-demix when you are also recording multiple audio tracks and need to select various tracks on the fly to see what's going on. Way to blow a take...
I can see many situations where both your functional requirements would prove fantastically useful particularly point 1. I do wonder if the programming complexity and/or processing requirements for them are simply too great...This discussion does point out two glaring lacks in Logic's multi-recording:
1. Selecting a track should not record-enable it. I've been requesting this from Apple for years. This is essential for being able to check track settings (Info pane) of other tracks while recording.
2. You should be able to select an input source (MIDI device and channel) for any MIDI track.

I Agree 1,000 Percent with mk3. One of the primary reasons I still use Digital Performer 6 is because of those very points. These seem like basic features to implement. It would take Logic to an entirely different functionality level IMHO. Until then, I'll just continue to use both for it's most warranted features. ---- Reub.Originally Posted by mk3

As a long time Pro Tools user, this is a must! I hope they add this feature by Logic 10. I really like logic, but this really kills my workflow.2. You should be able to select an input source (MIDI device and channel) for any MIDI track.
Even Digital Performer has had that feature forever. It's one of the few features that I miss about DP (the others are: MIDI plug-ins, especially the arpeggiator; and pitch automation).As a long time Pro Tools user, this is a must!

I just did!All those who consider these features important, please remember to submit your feature requests to Apple:
