Chapter 10 Working With Instruments and Effects 231
Important: Only program change messages sent on MIDI channel 1 will switch
between Channel Strip Performances. All program change messages sent on other
MIDI channels are forwarded to Audio Units instruments, if applicable.
Channel strip performances can be used for all audio channel strip types. They are
saved in the Performances subfolder (in ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel
Strip Settings/Channel Strip name). The performance names start with the
corresponding program change number (as examples: 001Piano, 045FlangeGuitar,
111ArcoCelloHall). There are 128 performances (corresponding to 128 available program
change events).
To create a performance setting:
1 Configure a channel strip that you would like to have available as a performance (by
opening a channel strip setting from the factory library and making changes according
to your needs, for example).
2 Click the Setting button, then choose Save as Performance.
3 In the ensuing dialog, enter a performance name, choose a program change number,
and click OK.
4 Send the program change number from your MIDI controller.
When a channel strip receives a program change message (on MIDI channel 1) that
corresponds to an assigned performance number, it will load this performance.
Note: If an unassigned program change value is sent, the channel strip ignores the
message, and the currently loaded channel strip performance setting remains in place.
