(1) If I want to record on the Montage connect tracks that have a saved performance selected, why does it stop sounding once you get to recording?

The Montage Connect track isn't really a virtual instrument although it appears that way. You can't record onto that track; it is there only to recall and save the Performances used in your project from Logic. You have to open a MIDI track and record there. When you want to record an audio track, you will create an audio track and record there. Again, the Connect "track" is really simply the place the Montage Connect AU component lives because that is where Logic AU plug-ins exist. Unlike a virtual instrument it is used for saving and recalling Montage Performances. The Montage is the "target" so to speak; It isn't a virtual instrument, it's a physical instrument!

Hopefully this answers your second question.

Question 3: When recording MIDI set MONTAGE in MIDI Rec on DAW as this turns off local control and you are not using it in standalone. I generally leave it in this mode for the entire production process when using Logic.

Let me know if this helps and I'll put together some more stuff with screen shots from logic.]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Blake Angelos https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-21883 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-21824 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 13:57:21 +0000
The questions I have are: (1) If I want to record on the Montage connect tracks that have a saved performance selected, why does it stop sounding once you get to recording? (2) Do the midi track and the audio track play a role in the recording process at this time, i.e. in recording on the Montage connect track? And (3) what should be the Utility ->Quick Connect setting for Montage when recording this way? Is it Standalone, MIDI Rec on DAW or Audio Rec on DAW?

I appreciate any input on this, thanks in advance!]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Marcel https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-21824 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-16081 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 10:20:41 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M jayeson https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-16081 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15882 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 21:56:46 +0000
Seriously, we tried something like this on the previous flagship, and frankly, it proved too difficult for most to use. It took place via Ethernet, required a password, and the ability to establish a network and to write directly to a USB stick connected to the XF, from the computer. It remains mainly unused by most - too difficult for the average user to get working. Alas. To be fair the computer companies kept changing protocols... so it was probably abandoned for several reasons.]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Bad Mister https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15882 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15881 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 21:38:27 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Chris https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15881 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15875 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 18:19:18 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Bad Mister https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15875 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15870 Fri, 23 Dec 2016 17:19:48 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Chris https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15870 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15842 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:49:10 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M jayeson https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15842 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/connecting-montage-and-logic-pro-x/#post-15836 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 17:54:03 +0000 Connecting MONTAGE and Logic Pro X".
