Marnix,

As a follow on to this,

is it possible to have Logic on three machines (pro as master with Expresss as slaves on each of the other two), with the intention of operating the slaves in sync from the master? I suppose you could call it 'super nodes?'

I'm thinking of the opportunity, if this would work, to manage everything from the master, with the slaves as 'extra tracks', and of course, EXS usable, along with VI.
(Nodes don't support EXS on slaves at this time, yes?)

Have you tried anything like this?

Regards,

Alex.

Hello Marnix,

The problem remains: Logic Express sums all hardware midi in-ports (in my case 9 ports) together. you cannot adress individual midi in ports at the physical Midi input object in the environment. This functionality is implemented in Logic Pro, but seems to be absent in Logic Express.

I hope you understand my problem.

Gerard,

The "Physical Input" can´t (this is just to neutralize the IAC bus in order to avoid MIDI loops!), but the "Channel Splitter" actually does handle individual MIDI in ports!

I will send you a screenshot, if you want to.

As far as I know, the implementation of the Environment itself is identical in Logic Express and Logic Pro...

Best, Marnix

Alex,

Although we never actually tested a similar set-up, I do not see a reason why this should not work...

I will try to investigate some more and will keep you posted!

Best, Marnix

Hello Marnix,

Yes, please send me a screenshot.
Thank you.

Gerard,

[:O]ops: Sorry, of course it´s the Physical Input which handles the MIDI ports!

I will send you the screenshot!

Hello Marnix,

I sent you 3 e-mails today about Logic Express. They were not answered.
Is there again a problem with my e-mail adress?

sorry,

i really dont understand why you would try t o use logic on a second mac.
in this case you would have to sync both machines an to arrange on both machines.

why dont u just use a AU Host?

i dont know if there are any for mac but there are at least 2 for PC which are cheaper too.

Hello Gagga,

I use Plogue Bidule now, which seems to work fine, so I'm allright now.
I wanted Logic Express as a host, but it will never work, because Apple confirmed that only one port can be used.
Using Logic on a second Mac would cost me Logic Pro again, quite a lot of money.

Greetings,

Gerard
