Way to go, dude. Now, this nicely coincides with my current plan of building a dedicated PC for GigaStudio3 and all the involved hassles (either buying MIDi interfaces and GSIF-2 audio cards *or* getting FX-teleport and Giga-VST adapter to run, which would rely on a new G5 anyway). What a nice twist.

So, you create, like, 30 Multi Instruments in the front Logic and assign their outs to 'MIDI Patchbay' ?
Putting all BackGround Logics in Play is to enable playing multiple EXSs at once, right ? How are the EXSs cabled, as you usually can only live-play the one on the active arrangement track ? While i can patch them directly from the Physical In, this requires a bypassed IO plugin on each EXS *and* Logic being in play to avoid latency. As the BGLs are processing live input, the is no latency compensation active, right ? Not that it matters too much with orch stuff, but am i right ?
How do you get that MIDi from Patchbay back to the background apps ?

I'm only peeping over from OS9 here, but if you have multiple Logic folders, couldn't you have separate local Autoloads for the running copies of Logic that way ?

And the orch template itself in the background doesn't change anyway, since it's all set up. Sweet.

The Environment is in the Logic Song, not in the prefs.

Because ? The copies launched later would else claim the hardware from the earlier ones, right, even if they don't actually use the hardware, but pipe audio back into the front Logic ?

Same here.

Kudos to you. I for one owe you a <insert your fav beverage here> if this really pans out.
