External Instrument overview
You can use the External Instrument to route external MIDI sound generators through the Logic
Pro Mixer, which you can then process with eects.
You can also use the External Instrument to transmit and receive MIDI information through the
instrument channel strip that it is inserted into. This enables you to control an external sound
module—both MIDI and audio—from within one element.
To avoid constant repatching of devices, it is best to use an audio interface that supports
multiple inputs and outputs. The External Instrument plug-in is inserted into instrument channel
strips in place of a software instrument.
