You can certainly do this, but it does take a little effort to set it up in Logic.
Make sure you have all ADVANCED SETTINGS enabled in Logic PREFERENCES
Open Logic ENVIRONMENT window (Command + 0). Go to CLICKS & PORTS view, select M:C in midi “physical input”
a. It will show M:C wired to a keyboard — midi monitor —sequencer
b. On the top of the page you’ll see some tabs, choose add new MULTI-INSTRUMET from the drop down; add one. Now a block with 16 midi channels will be on the page.
c. Disconnect the wire from M:C “SUM” to the keyboard (right-click on the little triangle, select remove wire only)
d. Add a connection/wire from the first triangle below “SUM” to the MULTI-INSTUMENT and another connection/wire from MULTI-INSTRUMENT to the keyboard.
I. Click the channels (boxes in the MULTI’) that correspond to the M:C midi out channels e. g. 1-6 or whatever you have set. Close ENVIRONMENT window
Create 6 midi tracks with the midi ports set to match the M:C out channels (1-6 not ALL the default) on the channel strips.
Go to Logic Preferences > Recording I believe it’s under the General or Audio tab and check the box “Auto-Demix by midi channel”.
Record Enable the 6 tracks, add your instruments and you should be able to bäng away.
Also create an Audio track for the M:C:).
I’ll try to tidy this up and possibly add some screenshots when I have a chance. On my phone so excuse the mess.
Someone else may have a simpler solution but this is how I’ve had the best experience.
EDIT: I just got it running using your method Kpucski. Thank you so much! I’m not sure how to export an Environment file from Logic but I created a template file and as soon as the forum allows me to attach files I’ll share it on here for others to enjoy.
Cheers and thank you so much!
PS: Looks like if you record but switch to a different pattern (FNC PATTERN) it will stop sending midi data.
I believe the ENVIRONMENT settings will be saved with the template, but I could be wrong. I also noticed that there didn’t appear to be a way to export them.
I’ll look into this and see if I can figure out what’s happening. I based my instructions off of my MPC setup, but I’ll try it with my Cycles when I get a chance.
