(Follow up from previous post) The goal is to sequence in the MPC plugin, but trigger virtual instrument on a Logic track, basically using Logic as a sound module.
The answer last time was no, however, I came across instructions for using EZDrummer in a similar way that involves going into the Logic Environment working with Click and Ports and Channel Splitter.
A bit complicated, so before attempting, I wonder if it's only possible because of EZDrummers MIDI Out feature. Anyone familiar enough with Logic & MPC to provide insight?
EZDrummer Instructions:
EZDRUMMER 2 MIDI OUT WITH APPLE LOGIC
Setting up Apple Logic
EZDrummer 2 MIDI Out function requires Logic version 8 or later.
Before you start, you should make sure that you are familiar with how to operate Virtual Instruments in your host and that you have a copy of YFDS (Your Favorite Drum Sampler) configured for Audio and MIDI playback.
1) Inserting the plug-in:
• Insert EZdrummer 2 on an Audio Instrument track
2) Setting up:
• Insert YFSG on an Audio Instrument track
• Enable MIDI out in the Menu of EZdrummer 2. (i.e. click Menu > Enable MIDI out
At this point you will be able to drive YFDS with EZdrummer 2 but you will also trigger any MIDI instrument that you happen to record-arm. You therefore need to perform the following for additional flexibility:
• Open the Logic Environment
• Copy paste YFDS Instrument track to the ‘Click and Ports’ layer
• Still in the ‘Click and Ports’ layer, create a ‘Channel Splitter’ object
• Connect the EZDrummer 2 entry of the ‘Physical Input’ to the Channel Splitter
• Connect Ch1 of the ‘Channel Splitter’ to the Instrument track with YFDS on
(the other channels can be used for additional sound sources you wish to drive)
• In EZdrummer 2, press Play
