Urgent help with Logic

SeanHurley

Hi guys I have a fairly big gig tomorrow night and I am using Logic as the host for my soft synths but I have a problem:

I want to change synths mid song - simple enough use the up/down arrow keys to change track. The problem is that when I change the track the synth I was playing cuts dead. Is there a way I can set up Logic so that the notes continue to play until I release the keys on the midi keyboard. I don't know logic that well as I am a PT man and haven't a clue where to look to sort it.

I know some of you will say use Mainstage but I use patches from Reason and Mainstage doesn't have re-wire support so that is a no go (unless anyone know a way of controlling Reason thru Mainstage)

The other thing is that I only have one keyboard controller so I can't assign a seperate controller to each application.

Help!

Cheers in advance.

you could sequence the last chord of the phrase which would give you time to switch over without an audible drop out?

are you using the full length of the keyboard is there anyway you can map the 2 synths across the keyboard and possibly just jump octaves to get the other synth?

Nor using the full length, how would I go about mapping the keyboard. Sorry for ignorance, bought Logic a few months back and never really used it till now

Each synth should have a mapping area ie: you can assign the 1st 2 octaves of the keyboard could be piano and 2nd 2 octaves strings or a certain note trigger 1 sample....

This is why I use ableton on stage as it does all this in seconds and you can listen to all the synths at one time on input....
