However, as I recall, I think that NOTION 4 only transmits CC messages over Channel 1 of MIDI Port A, which is a bit of a problem in this context. Īs noted by wcreed51, NOTION 4 has four MIDI ports, but there are 16 channels per MIDI port.
#VIENNA ENSEMBLE PRO 5 LOGIC X DRIVER#
I did a few experiments, and one of them verified that NOTION 4 generates MIDI Control Change (CC) Expression messages and sends them via an IAC Driver "virtual MIDI cable" when you are working with a NOTION 4 External MIDI staff that is configured to output to the respective IAC Driver "virtual MIDI cable". In this scenario, NOTION 4 handles the audio generation in conjunction with the Vienna Symphonic Library products, but Logic Pro X is responsible for handling the audio.
You can use Logic Pro X as the mixer application in a ReWire 2 session where Logic Pro X is the ReWire 2 host controller and NOTION 4 is a ReWire 2 slave. Using Vienna Symphonic Library directly in NOTION 4 makes it possible to use the specific predefined NOTION 4 rules for Vienna Symphonic Library. If your Mac has sufficient system memory-which I define to be 16GB or greater-then you should be able to use a Vienna Symphonic Library instrument in NOTION 4, which includes being able to use Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 as a streaming server to provide Vienna Symphonic Library instruments to NOTION 4. QUESTION: Why not connect Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 to NOTION 4 use the VSTi version of Vienna Symphonic Library in NOTION 4 or use one of the predefined templates for Vienna Symphonic Library products, since the latter have custom rules specific to Vienna Symphonic Library products, which maps to being tailored to Vienna Symphonic Library products? QUESTION: Is there a specific reason for having Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 hosted by or connected to Logic Pro X?
