I'll attempt to clairfy,

In previous versions of Logic, when using an external hardware synth or sampler; an Aux Input had to be created for the audio input, and to trigger it via midi, one had to create a "Multi Instrument" in the environment, then name it and enable any midi channels on that "multi instrument object" so that it will appear in the arrange windows menu when re-assigning or creating new midi tracks.

the alternate setup, that mimics the way the TI is setup in Live and ProTools would be to...

Create a new environment layer. Insert a single Instrument Channel Object for the VCC; then, insert a new "Multi Instrument" into the same layer and connect its output to the Instrument Channel Object, which gives you up to 16 channels/tracks of midi to send to the VCC Instrument Channel.

This setup only differs in that, the level meters display their signal independantly of each other instead of all the level meters showing the same signal.

I'll post screenshots in a little bit... to clarify... i'm not trying to complain or say it's a bug, i just find it interesting how Logic's setup differs the way it does in other DAW's.

i didn't misunderstood you then. let me just say that, if you use cabling in the environment to channel data from midi instruments to an audio instrument, you might get problems.

However, if you set up the TI the way the Tutorial suggests, it's not possible to solo individual tracks going to the TI, since it's set up as a single instrument with multiple channels. This is a pretty major downside if you like to use the solo feature to try out different arrangements and transitions on the fly.

Am I missing something? If not, is there a workaround?

i had the exact same question when TI first came to world...and found out that its a limitation in Logic (Cubase is fine tho)...

so this is what i do when I am in VC mode in Logic Pro:
-- create a screen set in Logic (lets say 1) and display VC.
-- each time you want to mute a track. press "1" and mute any VC track.
thats all..
