Working With Instruments and Effects
When you create a new External MIDI track in a project, Logic Express will automatically
generate a new External MIDI Multi Instrument object. This is placed on the MIDI Instr.
layer of the Environment window.
Choose Window > Environment to take a look at this object (see Chapter 38, “
,” on page 875 for details).
Another thing that happens in the background is the automatic creation of Mixer
channel strips for each of the Multi Instrument sub-channels. Click the Mixer button at
the bottom of the Arrange window, and click the All button in the Mixer menu bar.
You’ll see 16 channel strips, assigned to GM Device 1 to 16 (plus a couple of others for
audio channels).
To the right of the Arrange area, you’ll see the Library tab. It shows a list of your MIDI
ports and other objects. Among the items listed, you’ll see the GM Device.
