Virus+Logic Midi Channel Troubles

[sysex]

That's a result of the way that the TI is setup in Logic Pro.

It uses an instrument track and an alias of that instrument for each other midi channel being sent to the virus.

So basically... Logic just gives you the option to make a copy/alias of the instrument channel/track and assign a unique midi channel to each alias.

The difference is evident if you've ever setup VCC with multiple tracks/channels in Ableton Live or Pro Tools. In both of these apps, they use one "Instrument Track" and then create additional "Midi Tracks" and point the I/O to the "Instrument Track"

Ok... now that Ive explained that...

Since you are in logic and the virus uses Instrument track aliases of the original each midi track... that is why if you add an insert to any one of those channel strips, it appears on all of them.

*edit* this is also why the level meters all register the same signal level regardless of what midi track/part is playing... which is kind of annoying. imho.

If you want to apply effects to particular parts, you will have to send them out seperate Virus outputs and create auxiliary send/returns for those parts inputs. Then you can add an insert to the aux where the seperate part is routed to.

hope that makes sense....
