MIDI on Hardware synth off, but still sounds airy & flanged W record enable

Question

How do I get the output that I am monitoring on an audio track, with record enable to sound like it normally does when I listen to the output of my synth with headphones?
Currently, it sounds like there is a cheap flange effect...

Yes, I tried the first 2 suggestions, but with software monitoring off, I don't hear the synth at all.
- I tried unplugging the midi cables, but then, because local is off, the syth is playing what the computer is feeding it, via the MIDI input, and it stops sounding the notes pressed when I unplugged the MIDI cables.
There is basic misunderstanding going on.
You mentioned recording to an -Audio- track in your first post. If you have Local OFF, you shouldn't hear anything when selecting and monitoring an -audio- track.

- I recorded the midi on the midi track. -
It's actually possible to record-enable more than one track at a time, but in this case, the audio track was not record enabled. - The MIDI goes to the selected midi track, and it was selected.
The only way I can hear my synth is through logic's monitoring, unless plug headphones into the mono output of the EX7. but that wont fix the issue, as I want to hear everything together... To just get down to making music, I could go through the dread of deleting the doubled over notes, but I don't have time for that.
What is happening, is that Logic is sending double data to my Synth. I'm pretty sure it's an environment issue.
Since logic 8 is so easy to rewire with Reason, I have not changed anything in the environment, except ... hmm... Yes I did actually; I created MIDI objects for Reason, to control it via MIDI, to go along with the Rewire. - I set that up correctly, and just experimented with deleting those objects, but the problem persists. I'm looking at the basic MIDI setup in the environment, and it's bare... I have not set up my Synth in there yet apparently. - Perhaps that is the problem.
Here are some pics I've uploaded to show you what is going on, on my screen:

- Picture 10.png shows that acoording to what I just tested as well; Software instruments triggered with my Synth are still affected, because Logic is recoding the notes 3 times. The prple notes are ones I dragged off, and they were 'one note' before... (supposed to be)
- Picture 6.png shows the tracks, and how I'm monitoring.
- Picture 8.png and 9.png show my untouched midi instrument environment.
{quote}The MIDI setup is another can of worms.
Here's some quick things to try...
Did you setup cabling to your MIDI interface and Keyboard in AUDIO/MIDI setup, under the MIDI tab.
If so, I would delete it now all you need to see is your MIDI interface.
EX7 Environment Multi setup:
A single Multi Instrument setup for the EX7 in the Environment, on the left control area, under "Channel" it should say ALL. Name the Multi to "EX7" or whatever..
Back on the Arrange Page select a MIDI track.
The Inspector on the left should show:
Port: Select the MIDI interface port you're using, do not select ALL.
Under Channel, select 1
If you have a Multi setup correctly with patch names you will see them under program.{/quote}
- I believe that this is the can of worms that needs to opened immediately - (Getting can opener)
- Okay, I'll try the MIDI suggestions, but what I have now is yes, EX7 is connected to the MIDI interface inside the system's audio-MIDI setup, and inside Logic, it is set up to be connected to port A, the port it is physically connected to.
In logic's enviro, it shows on the left 'EX7' when I look in the drop down menu, and then 'Port A' .
On the right, next to the EX7 object, there is another one called 'GM device' , which is actually set to 'All'. - Have I hit the nail on the head? .. We'll see...
(I'm going to go experiment in there now, I'll keep you posted, pun intended
