Logic sums all incoming midi data to the current active track in the arrange window because this is normally what you might want. However, it isn't what you want with Noatikl and the Logic manual isn't clear as to how to change this.

Using Noatikl stand-alone application with Logic Pro:

1. Enable IAC bus and assign this as the Noatikl output
2. Launch Logic
3. Select first track in the Arrange window and create an Audio Instrument track.
4. Insert instrument plug-in of choice.
5. Set Midi channel of this instrument to 1
6. Arm for recording
7. Repeat for up to fifteen other tracks - assigning each one to a different midi channel
8. Go to File -> Song Settings -> Recordings
9. Check the box marked "Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording"

This now works correctly i.e. setting Noatikl to transmit on c1 directs the data to the first instrument in Logic, transmitting on c2 goes to the second etc.

You are now ready to make amazing music with Noatikl and Logic on your Mac!

Noatikl, Logic and MIDI feedback

From v 1.5 Noatikl now listens to incoming midi data to allow you to create dynamic hyperinstruments.

In order to use this feature in the standalone version of Noatikl, Logic users need to take certain steps to eliminate the risk of MIDI feedback.

Due to the way Logic implements it's own midi through system, it is essential for Noatikl to use different midi ports for midi in and midi out. Port sharing will cause midi feedback, lockups and the risk of system crashes.

Instructions for using the IAC driver.

Open Audio/Midi setup in the Applications/Utilities folder. Select the midi tab

Double click on the IAC icon and select Ports Click on the Add port button underneath the ports window. Accept the default setting by clicking Apply.

In Noatikl select IAC bus 1 as the Midi output bus and IAC bus 2 as the Midi input bus

Launch Logic.

Open the Environment window (Command 8) and select the Clicks and Ports layer.

Click on New -> Monitor to create a new Monitor object. Draw a cable from the Midi input object from IAC Bus 2 and connect it to this monitor. Do not connect the output of this monitor to any other object in the environment.

In the arrange page, select "Settings -> Synchronisation". Click on the midi tab. Set the midi clock destination tab to be IAC Bus 2

And you are good to go.

Instructions for MidiPipe

To create a second midipipe port, drag another midi in and midi out into your current pipe.

Select the second midi input and click on the blue menu display tab to show all the midi inputs. Click on Edit virtual Inputs

Click on New Virtual Input to add the second input, repeat this in the Virtual Outputs view to create a new virtual output. Click Done.

Highlight the first Midi output in the pipe. Ensure the box marked Pass Through is unchecked (this box is checked by default).

Save your Pipe.

In Noatikl select Midi Pipe input 1 as the output and Midipipe Output 2 as the input.

Instructions for Logic

Launch Logic.

Open the Environment window (Command 8) and select the Clicks and Ports layer.

Click on New -> Monitor to create a new Monitor object. Draw a cable from the Midi input object from MidiPipe Output 2 and connect it to this monitor. Do not connect the output of this monitor to any other object in the environment.

In the arrange page, select Settings -> Synchronisation. Click on the midi tab. Set the midi clock destination tab to be MidiPipe Input 2
