Instrument definition files for Logic Pro 11

Hi

There is a old Multisets file over at Logic Pro Help which has loads of pre-prepared environment multisets ( including the JV/XP series)

Simply copy/paste into your template project and set the MIDI port/channel details

I can't give you an exact answer, but some hints. This is because I've never used Logic to control presets of an external synth except by using simple program changes. However, the Environment is your powerful helper. You can access the environment with command+0 (zero). Unfortunately, it was never developed further and is still in the state of the mid 90ies. Although this could have been the future long before MaxForLive was invented, but this is a different topic...

After you have opened the Environment with command+0, select the Layer: Midi Instr. (in the upper left corner). This is the window where you can define all your external outputs and instruments. It might be empty the first time you open it. Go to New > Multi-Instrument. You should have created now your first Multi-Timbral Output/Instrument . Or to be more exact, you see an Object that represents one port of your midi interface with 16 Midi Channels which are still crossed-out. By clicking on each of the 16 numbers, you are activating the individual channels on that port. Have always a look at the Inspector on the left side when touching or clicking anything on that object, this makes it more understandable for you. Now double-click on the Icon (above the numbers) of that Multi-Instr you've just created. A new window will pop-up and is most likely, what you are looking for. Inspect the menus like Bank Message because there is some kind of preset of a JV-1080.

Like I wrote in my intro, I can only give you a hint so far. Please look up the internet for more information about Logic's Environment. And keep in mind, because of the lack of development, the sources you'll find might be 20 or 30 years old.

Good success.

Edit:

There might be a more modern solution via the Scripter plugin in Logic, which can be programmed by using JavaScript.
