If you&#8217;ve never modified Logic&#8217;s Environment, we HIGHLY recommend that you look at Chapter 39 (page 857) in the Logic User Manual for information on using the Environment before you attempt the procedure below. The Environment is a custom programming window that allows you to get &#8220;under the hood&#8221; and modify the way Logic works&#8230;as such, it is very complicated and there is a lot to know and understand before you make changes.<\/p>\n<p>To use PLAY as a Multi in Logic, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. In Logic&#8217;s Arrange window, select an empty Instrument track (&#8220;Inst 1,&#8221; for example).  Locate the channel strip on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.  Under &#8216;I\/O,&#8217; select: Multi Channel -> AU Instruments -> East West -> Play. Set the MIDI channel to &#8216;All&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>2. Go to Logic&#8217;s Environment window, click on the &#8220;New&#8221; menu and choose Multi Instrument.  Select the number of MIDI channels you wish to use by clicking the buttons on the Multi Instrument, (there is a total of 16). Connect the output of the Multi Instrument to the Instrument track with PLAY.<\/p>\n<p>3. Go back to the Arrange or Mixer window and create an Aux track. Set the input of the Aux track to a PLAY output. Make sure to select the appropriate output in PLAY as well.<\/p>\n<p>4. Create a MIDI track from the Multi Inst object. There should be as many MIDI tracks available as ones created in step 2. If you created the Multi Inst object in the &#8216;MIDI Inst&#8217; layer, the MIDI track will appear under : MIDI Instr -> (Multi Instr.) -> MIDI channel.<\/p>\n<p>5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for as many additional MIDI tracks\/Audio outputs you wish to create.<\/p>\n<p>Please note:<\/p>\n<p>Using multiple instances in a host will provide better performance than using multiple instruments in an instance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35767],"storecat":[],"itemids":[101161,5970,101164,11693,101162,11711,30594],"manufacturers":[33322],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I use PLAY as a Multi Channel instrumet in Logic 8? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/play-multi-channel-instrumet-logic-8\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I use PLAY as a Multi Channel instrumet in Logic 8? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Use of PLAY as a Multi Instrument in Logic will require you to modify Logic&#8217;s Environment.
