Using multiple delta 1010s in logic

Question

can't use multiple delta 1010s works fine using one when i select multiple on logic comes through very distorted and then slowly dies. any ideas?

Answer 1

I would say something like:
"In normal operation, Logic listens to all incoming MIDI ports, and sums the data together, forwards it to the arrange page, and then distributes it to the selected instrument track - hence all controllers which be channelised to control the current instrument (or multiple instruments).
If you enable "Multiplayer Record" mode, then what happens is that Logic distributes incoming MIDI events to the selected tracks via the MIDI channel.
So, you can set track 1 to listen to channel 2, track 2 with a different plugin to channel 14 etc - up to 16 channels.
So in this way, you can play up to 16 independent instruments from up to 16 independent controllers.
Logic currently has a bottleneck at the summing point, which means you lose the incoming MIDI port info, which is why your controllers need to be sending on different MIDI channels, but in short, set controller 1 to transmit on one channel, set controller two to transmit on a different MIDI channel, have multiplayer record enabled "Auto demix by channel if
multitrack recording"), and you can then choose which track should respond to which controller by adjusting the track object's MIDI channel.
The manual explains the procedure in "Recording on Multiple MIDI Tracks" on page 382."
Now sue me...
