Tip: When using multitimbral MIDI sound sources, you can gain maximum flexibility with
multiple External Instrument instances. In this situation, connect a separate audio output
of the tone generator (if equipped with multiple outputs) to different inputs on your audio
interface—each addressed by an individual External Instrument instance.
External Instrument parameters
MIDI Destination pop-up menu: Choose the target MIDI port.
MIDI Channel pop-up menu: Choose the target MIDI channel.
Input pop-up menu: Choose the inputs of your audio hardware that the MIDI sound
generator is connected to.
Input Volume slider and field: Set the incoming signal level.
Process external MIDI instruments with effects
1. In Logic Pro, connect the output (or output pair) of your MIDI module with an input (or
input pair) on your audio interface.
Note: These can be either analog or digital connections if your audio interface and MIDI
sound generator are equipped with either, or both.
2. Create an instrument channel strip (or several, if using a multitimbral sound source).
3. Click the Instrument slot, then choose External Instrument from the pop-up menu.
4. Choose the MIDI Destination from the pop-up menu in the External Instrument window.
5. Choose the MIDI Channel from the pop-up menu in the External Instrument window.
6. Choose the input (of your audio interface) that the MIDI sound generator is connected
to from the Input pop-up menu.
7. Adjust the Input Volume, if necessary.
8. Insert any required effects into the Insert slots of the channel strip (or channel strips, if
you are using multiple External Instrument instances with a multitimbral sound source).
You can also route the instrument channel strip to aux channel strips, if you want to use
send effects.
