Multi-Output / Multi-Timbral Setup of KORE 2 in Logic 8

This article will guide you through the process of setting up the KORE 2 plug-in as a multi-timbral instrument with multiple outputs in Logic 8. Before you begin, make sure that both your KORE 2 and Logic Pro 8 software are up-to-date.

1. Create a new Logic Project.
2. Create a new Instrument Track inside Logic.
3. From the drop-down menu, choose multi-timbral and enter the number of MIDI tracks you will require for your multi-timbral instance of KORE 2. You will see several tracks appear inside Logic's arrange page. Each of these tracks will send information to your  instrument over an independent MIDI channel.
   
4. Create a multi-output instance of KORE 2. In the example below, we are selecting Multi Output (8 x Stereo)
   
5. Open the Logic mixer window.
   
6. Click the + icon at the bottom-right of the KORE 2 channel strip to create new Aux Tracks. Each click will create a new Aux Track with an input preassigned to the next available KORE 2 output.
   
7. Open the KORE 2 interface by double-clicking on the KORE 2 icon.
8. Open the KORE 2 Edit area.
   
9. Create a few Source channels in the KORE 2 Sound Matrix.
   
10. Insert a KoreSound from the Browser or a new plug-in into each Source channel.
11. Choose the Audio tab and assign the outputs of each Source channel to a new Plugin Output.
    
12. From the MIDI tab on each Source channel, assign the MIDI channel to that which you wish each Source channel to receive on.
    
13. You should now be able to use KORE 2 as a multi-timbral, multi-output instrument.
