Q: Both Firepods’ midi inputs show up in Logic Pro 8 as “plug 1″ and both go into “port 1″. I’m under the impression that it’s fine to have multiple devices sent into a single port…but I don’t know if both having the same “plug 1″ is confusing them since they’re set up as an aggregate device in OSX. (I don’t get input anyway when they’re running through OSX separately)

A: ?

Q: The Firepods are both 8 channels…but ever since daisychaining them they’ve showed up as having 10 channels each. Why?

A: “With the FIREPOD you can simultaneously record and play back up to 10 channels. Since it is loaded with eight preamplifiers, you can have eight microphones plugged into the FIREPOD along with SPDIF for digital input to record a full band.” Manual here: http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=3

Q: On my Oxygen49 midi controller, C18 (pitch) shows up in Logic’s midi monitor as 0, C19 (tone) as 1. I think reprogramming is possible…however, the Oxygen didn’t come with a manual. So, if all my controls are wonky, that might be the answer to my first question, about the EXS24.

A: Well, firstly, the reason there’s all those damn buttons that don’t do anything can be answered here: “The latest M-Audio Oxygen MIDI controllers feature DirectLink mode, which automatically maps onboard controls to common DAW functions including transport, mixer, track pan and plug-in parameters. See below for a list of audio software currently compatible with DirectLink.” Yes, Logic included.
