Hello,
I’m in the middle of a VEPro6 template using the Multiport Template for Logic Pro X. The routing works very well, I can play any instrument in Logic, every track sounds, etc. (I’ve been using Logic/VEPro for a few years now). The ONLY issue occurs with unisson legatos.
Let’s see how I did it :
Master MacBook Pro :
- an Instrument track with VEPro6 (hidden in the picture attached)
- MIDI tracks routed to the Instrument track using the VSL Multiport Template in the Environment
Slave PC, in VE Pro 6 :
- 1st Kontakt plugin with MIDI Port > 1 VE PRO Plugin MIDI In 1 (default name) and MIDI Channel > All
- 2nd Kontakt plugin with MIDI Port > 1 VE PRO Plugin MIDI In 2 and MIDI Channel > All
In each Kontakt, I load multiple patches with increasing MIDI Channel numbers. Let’s say in the 1st Kontakt :
- Violin1 legato > Midi Ch. :
1
- Vln1 staccato > Midi Ch. :
2
- Vln1 pizz > Midi Ch. :
3
- etc.
And in the same in the 2nd Kontakt with Violin2 legato, stacc, pizz, etc.
As I said, every patch works when I play it in Logic. The problem occurs when playing a unisson (with the legato patch) with all the violins and the 1st start an new note (a legato note) while the 2nd stay on the same note : the 2nd violins suddenly stop playing.
Given that all the patches are routed via a single Instrument in Logic, it seems that the 2nd violins also receive the new-legato-note information, leading to a stop-note.
So, my questions are :
- What did I do wrong ? I'm sure, it's so easy I could find it 
- Instead of having a Multi-Instrument per section (i.e. Violins 1, Violins 2, Violas, etc.) in Logic’s Environment, I could have one per articulation (legato, long notes, short, etc.) to avoid having legatos in the same MIDI Channels of the same Instrument track but with different MIDI Ports. But, isn’t there a solution to have one per section ? Because I remember youtube video where people did this (but it was in Cubase) and I never heard about this issue.
Best regards,
Clément
PS :
- it already occurred with older versions of Logic X and VEPro5, I just didn’t take time to post a thread
- I used Kontakt in this example but it behaves the same with VI Pro 2 (I assume it wouldn’t occur with polyphonic legato but it’s not the point)
- I know that MIDI Channels start at 2 in the Logic picture I attached, but I did it the same in VEPro6. It was just to try something. Of course, it doesn’t work either starting at 1
