Multiple VI MIDI Assignments

[spearson8]

I'm not a noob, but even as I write this I feel the answer is right in front of me...lurking...

I have two instrument tracks. One running Reason, the other Superior Drummer.

I have a MIDI keyboard and also a YamahaDTX 12-pad drum pad all running into a MIDIsport 2x2. Yamaha is on bank 'A' while the keyboard is on bank 'B' of the Midisport.

I set the MIDI out on each of the instrument tracks to their corresponding plugins. I then assigned the MIDI input to the respective banks on the MIDIsport. Superior drummer gets the Yamaha on bank A and Reason bank B and the keyboard.

MY PROBLEM:

Both instruments play at the same time despite my assigning the inputs/outputs to what I thought was correct and individual.

If I mute one or the other I can record just fine. But I want Reason to playback NOT muted so I can lay drums against it. As of now, if it was unmuted I'd hear my drum pad triggering the drums AND whatever Reason is running.

HOW DO I ROUTE THIS CORRECTLY?

I assume I need to do some digging inside Superior Drummer and Reason MIDI settings, but despite my best efforts, I still had to mute to record.

I'm going cross-eyed reading so let me lay out what works here. I have a Roland TD10 kit(midi in on the 003), Motif es8(midi in/out on MOTU Fastlane USB "B" connections) and a 3rd keyboard(MOTU input "A"). In Pro Tools>Setup>Midi>Midi Studio, I have 3 instruments created. They each have the proper ports selected. Roland feeds channel 10 only, Motif feeds(and reads) all EXCEPT channel 10, and the 3rd keyboard feeds channel 1 only. In the typical session, I have 3 instrument tracks(Addictive drums, MIniGrand and DB-33). Once I put the 3 tracks into record(hold Alt and click any one of the record buttons) they will each play/trigger only the intended instrument(with the correct assignment at the top of the Instrument tracks. If this is not working for you, open Preferences and select the MIDI tab. Under default Thru instrument, select NONE.

I had to go into the Audio Setup utility on my Mac and recreate my Alesis and Yamaha as new MIDI devices. Once I routed them and assigned which channels they were to obey, the correct corresponding info appeared in ProTools.

Boom. Success. THANKS!!!!
