Logic pro x, OS 10.11.5
How can I use the JD-XA in "multimode" with Logic Pro X?
I have connected the JD-XA with USB to my Mac.
Thanks for your answer

Multimode?
Re: Multimode?
Well, I have the same question with Cubase.
But, I think it's not possible...
The JD-XA was not created to play more than one program at once !
Hope I am in mistake !
You have the solution to work un Audio tracks...

Re: Multimode?
A program contains 8 different parts which can be on 16 different midi channels. Thus the XA is 8 part multitimbral.musella wrote:The JD-XA was not created to play more than one program at once !

Since i dont use Logic i cant help with OP's problem tho.
Re: Multimode?
Ok, but 8 part multitimbral for 1 program or for all programs ?

Logic Pro 10.2.3 here.
I followed Venn Diagram's post here: viewtopic.php?f=57&t=50581#p288086 and setup external instrument tracks (several) all pointing to ALL Channels. Logic handles the MIDI events / patch, etc recording to audio for the tracks. Without an AU Instrument, I am unsure how one would create a multi for Logic (thought it was a software thing?) but setting up multiple external instrument tracks works fine.

Program is the highest hirarchy level. EVERY multitimbral synthesizer/sampler has such a highest level which contains parts/tracks. Without it, there is no multitimbrality.musella wrote:Ok, but 8 part multitimbral for 1 program or for all programs ?
On Rolands older synth it was called performance. In the FA its called a studio set i think. On a Virus its called sequencer mode. On Yamahas its called patches (which contain voices). On Korgs Multi. If i remember correctly on Elektrons its called Program too (which contains tracks) ... you get the idea.
Unlike older synths the Xa is not layed out to be a preset synthesizer. So it doesnt allow to store parts individually as patches. Thats why people are often confused. At least i was when i started out on the XA.
As far as i know the only DAW currently able to handle multi-instruments is Presonus Studio1 V3.. However, I cant be sure about this, since i didnt try them all.
