SPLITTING THE KEYBOARD

Question

is there someplace to split my midi keyboard in logics software so i can have 2 or more different software instruments loaded and played at the same time?this should be a simple move,

Answer 1

You can in fact automatically send multiple voices to different instruments in Logic by putting them on different MIDI Channels.
_Splitting Chords:_
The Functions > Note Events > Select Top Line command selects the highest notes in the selected chords of a MIDI Region. All previous selections are ignored.
The Functions > Note Events > Select Bottom Line command selects the lowest notes in the selected chords of a MIDI Region.
_Splitting voices across MIDI channels:_
The Functions > Note Events > Lines to Channels command assigns MIDI channel numbers (in ascending order) to individual note pitches in the selected MIDI Region. The highest note in each chord will be assigned as MIDI channel 1, the next note down in each chord channel 2, and so on.
Since the above is probably not what you want to do, then you could try what I suggested previously & set keyboard splits within Audio Instruments. Here is a brief description for the EVB3 (by way of an example):
_Keyboard Split:_
The EVB3 can be played perfectly with a single MIDI keyboard (one manual) that is only capable of transmitting on one MIDI send channel. You can split the keyboard in order to play Upper, Lower, and Pedal sounds on different keyboard zones. In the parameter field in the bottom center of the GUI, set Keyboard Mode = Split.
