Thanks for digging into the M8 and LP. I think I'm using 1/5 of what it's capable of doing. Your vid helped shed more light. My problem was that if I didn't always go into the settings and change from Multi to Single when I went to edit MIDI each notes got repeated 3X's. Drove me nuts till I figured it out. Took me a while to figure that I always need to jump to single if say I am using a Kontakt VI.

You seem to have a great handle on midi functionality on the Montage. I have a montage m and am struggling to do what you just did. Is there something different that must be done e on my instrument?

Hello Kier loving your videos, for some reason I'm so proud I did arrive till Logic could show the midi signal, but there is no audio.... Any help? Best Regards Alberto

Does the first generation of montage works as an audio interface?

Say you had the CFX piano over those 4 slots, it mean you have to simultaneously have 4 midi channels driving that sound (piano) ...now, what really sucks about this is then you then are using 4 times the polyphony of notes on the sequencer. That's total crap!
