Studio Horns section MIDI channels in Logic Pro for iPad
In Studio Horns section presets, each instrument uses a dedicated MIDI channel. This enables you to play specific instruments in a section by sending MIDI messages on their respective channels. Similarly, if you create a region for a section instrument, you can assign each MIDI event a specific MIDI channel to ensure that it is played only by a particular instrument within the section.
MIDI channel 1 is always the “section” channel, meaning that it is used to play the entire section, either via automatic voice splitting or as a layer/key split, depending on the plug-in setting.
MIDI channel 2 and above are used to access the different instruments of a section directly.
Note: When the Inst via MIDI Channel button in the Details parameters is turned off, the full section is played on any incoming MIDI channel. Active Unison / Split settings apply. Full section playback is also triggered by incoming MIDI channel data that is not used in the section.
