Thank you so much everyone for your insights and patience in helping me figure this out!
As I’m sure it’s obvious: I’m pretty new to Midi, which I know is strange since for years I’ve been working with electronic instruments, but I’ve avoided Midi until now for various unimportant reasons
@avantronica – The synths are not set to Omni. The Prophet is set to 10, and the Yamaha to 1. When I’m sending the Midi directly from the OT to the synths, the Prophet indeed receives only the info I’m sending on channel 10, and the Yamaha receives only the info I’m sending on channel 1. The problem occurs when I add the Logic element to the chain. Sending the OT to Logic and sending that signal to the Prophet. Then the Prophet receives the info I’m sending on all channels from the OT instead of only channel 10.
In Logic, I set up each of the external Midi tracks to their own individual channels, one sending to 10 and one sending to 1, but I suppose I’m missing another setting menu where things can be specified further.
@SoundRider The workflow I’m interested in implementing is one that would allow me to work with the OT as the main compositional tool that controls my small synths setup. At the same time, I want to be able to record into Logic the Midi sequences I compose on the OT and Midi info for anything else I play on the synths, as I am composing and trying things out.
This is important to me because then I use the Midi sequences of say a synth line that I improvised on the Prophet as Midi info to send to a soft synth in Logic, for instance. Or, I do some changes to the Midi sequence I recorded from the OT in Logic and then I want to feed the altered sequence back to synths.
Does this make sense? Basically I just want the option to work in Parallel on Midi sequences in Logic and OT and have them talk to each other sometimes as the sender and sometime as the receiver.
I checked the OT/Synths/Logic settings soooooo many times and I really don’t understand what I’m getting wrong in the routing, @PeterHanes.
OT: two Midi tracks active, T1 set to channel 10, T2 set to channel 1 (Auto Ch:11)
OT goes into Logic
Logic: one Midi track active, record enabled, nothing recored on it, it’s assigned to channel 10
Logic goes to Prophet, carrying the Midi info the OT sequence is sending
Prophet: Set to channel 10
BUT
it receives the info from the OT’s T2 (which is set to 1) as well.
Why?
EDIT: If you don’t find a fault in this setup, the only thing I can imagine that is causing this is the Midi USB hub that I’m using. It’s an Edirol UM-1SX. Is is possible that when the Edirol receives the info from the OT and sends it to Logic it doesn’t separate the different channel and just sends the info as ‘All Channels’?
