I'm sure the Apple guys could have built in this useful facility, but don't despair, as there are a couple of ways to do it.Īfter some searching around I discovered that there is a fairly straightforward way to record the processed MIDI data without having to use any third-party hacks or apps, and though it isn't as straightforward as a 'Make it so' button, it doesn't take long and once you've done it a couple of times you'll be able to do it very quickly.
This is extremely annoying, as the Chord Trigger in particular is a great tool for knocking out a first draft of string parts, but in most cases you'll then need to thin out the notes, tie some across bar lines and so on to get the results sounding authentic. However, one major frustration is that these plug-ins don't facilitate the simple recording of their outputs, so although the audio results might sound impressive, your MIDI track still contains only the trigger notes that you played before they reached the MIDI plug-in. Those MIDI plug-ins that pop up in green in Logic's Instrument Channel FX slots can be very useful in creating something impressive from a modest input - the Arpeggiator and the Chord Trigger, for example, which produce complex results based on you playing or programming in just one or two notes. Logic's MIDI plug-ins are great, but getting access to the data they output can be tricky.
