Thanks for the suggestion. It wasn’t working at first. I added aux as a track (like you suggested) then I also started with a fresh file and now I see bus 1- 7 in the side chain pull down menu in compressor plugin. Progress!
Sitala multioutput - are you able to get separate outs under Logic on iPad?
It was never, “Everything just works!” It was just that one thing “just worked” when nothing “just worked” with the competition. 🙂
(And, to be fair, the competition is better these days.)
What was that one thing that worked? > @fisherro said:
A lot of things just worked... seamlessly.
Yepp, takes a bit of time to set up all the tracks but it works.
Easiest way is to duplicate busses is to show them as tracks and duplicate, after that re-route to respective Sitala outputs. Once done put all of them inside a summing bus or folder for housekeeping…
Multi-Out also has to be enabled in Sitala otherwise all sounds send on one bus…
thanks! I will try today
EDIT; ok now it is working the same like others (I can replace stereo to multi out version, then change aux inputs to Sitala outs).
Thanks for the response @Samu !
I'm trying this (sidechaining between multi-out channel aux tracks) too and I'm seeing the busses in the sidechain dropdown menu too. Only the audio doesn't seem to come through the sidechain?
Does it work for you?
As long as the channels you are trying to side-chain from are present as 'tracks' in the arranger it should work, had no issues with it when I tried earlier today...
I'm more and more starting to use the Drum Machine Designer with my own samples so AUv3 drum apps become less and less important for me.
That's a good and simpler idea indeed! I'm using Loopy multi-out atm because I like its features...
The tracks are summoned in the arranger btw..
I had same issue. Everything appeared set correctly but no audio came through sidechain. Then I tried messing with the pre and post fader settings on my kick bus. When I set source on my bus to pre-fader audio came through. (see image)
Thank you! I still am missing something it seems… (I can change the bus post/pre-fader setting but strangely enough not in/from the mixer and still not getting the audio..)
The problem I’ve been having with DMD is there’s no spot for a midi fx on the summing track and I’m wanting to sequence it using Rozeta or Ochtatron. And routing midi between tracks is clunky using midi flow. Am I missing something obvious (I hope I am!! lol)
Same issue on desktop, use midi loopback via Midifire. Send midi out of Logic using Midifire midi port and then route back in using main Logic midi in configured in Midifire.
Thanks yeah I’ve tried similar using midiflow and it’s hit or miss - I think I’m gonna grab midifire. Logics difficult midi routing on desktop is what always has me going back to ableton!
Haha, yeah, Ableton is even worse in some ways for VST midi routing but the midi busses make some things better. My favorite feature of Logic is in track midi fx recording which Ableton lacks. Routing through tracks is just bad ux.
Here I’m slowly moving over to using the pattern sequencer as each track can still be individually. sequenced or treated as a chromatic instrument. I’d hard to break old habits I know…
Hopefully Apple also adds an option to set individual midi output ports for each track.
This would make track 2 track routing of midi a bit easier.

Logic PRO on this one. This multi out situation needs to be properly addressed. The fact that’s it doable via very absurd workarounds should mean it’s only a matter of addressing it. Spent some time on this and even with the hacky workarounds the result is not nice, the summing stack with the buses and weird naming… The end result of a multi-out should be something like the Drum Machine Designer, tracks with the different outputs. That’s how it is on other daws on iOS. Not gonna spend time on this until it’s properly implemented.
Anyone else run into a snag with FAC Drumkit where only 15 of the 16 EXT outputs show up? It’s weird; all 16 show up in AUM. Weird arbitrary limitation in Logic? Workarounds are available but are a bit tedious. @FredAntonCorvest any advice?
The 1.1 update seems to have added better controls for multi-out AUs. Either that or I never noticed them before.
Now, I can add Koala (8-outs) to a MIDI track as a midi-controlled audio plugin (is this new?), then, in the mixer view there’s a little + button on the Koala channel. Hit it 8 times to create 8 aux channels already correctly hooked up to Koala. This is, iirc, the way it works on the desktop.
Very happy about this. Koala hosted property in Logic, with access to the cool beat and sample tools, it’s rad.
Here’s a screenshot. Is this new?
Yes, the + button to add aux busses to multi-out AUv3's is new
No more quirky work-arounds needed...
Excellent! Well done Apple
Well I’ll call it “almost but not quite”. It’s still a little quirky. If you want to be able to collapse down the channels of a multi-out plugin you have to create all the channels, create a track from one of the new channels, and then make a stack of those two tracks (all the channels will get grouped in, you don’t have to make a track for each one. Quirky. Still, an improvement.
anyone knows if it's possible to route the plugin's multi out channel to inputs in loopy pro mixer or use KQ's voice plugins loopback to send multi out to another app ?
It’s easy to do this with AUM but didn't find how to do this with Logic Pro.
Did someone has a clue ?
In Logic Pro iOS and macOS, only the instrument slot can do multi-output. It’s a bummer, I know.
AUM is a mixer, and it's designed to do just this sort of thing.
Logic is a DAW. It's designed to be the final destination for audio. Multiple outputs are available to sound cards, so you can choose any track to be sent anywhere in the physical world, but not via virtual audio streams unfortunately if that's what you need.
When I do want to get audio out of Logic and into another app (for example, stems into BlocsWave on my iPhone) I always bounce the audio and import it manually. It's always struck me as the easiest, quickest and most reliable method.
Or I use a sound card to stream multiple audio tracks into a mixing desk (I've done this loads in the past when I used to have a 32 channel hardware mixer -- I used to mix through the desk synced to tape but eventually tape went away as did the desk).
I've always used sends to get multi-ouputs from a single audio track into multiple busses -- works great for things like parallel processing as well as the obvious fx busses. Other than what Jeezs asked for above, what would be the benefit? (Genuine question, I'm not sure what I'm missing out on here).
It’s simple; you can't split frequency bands on different channels from the effect slot. Yes, you can do this easily with a simple send and use multi-band splitter on the destination channel, but you lose automatic control of all targeted frequency split positions. You know, controls like those you have in FX, like FAC Medusa and Bandit, etc.
