pianoteq as multi-channel au in logic

If you don't mind, I would like to use your topic to make another suggestion.

What about the possibility of a second piano in the virtual acoustic environment?
A second piano by side the first, with adjustable distance of one to another.
Yes, I talk about the chance of the interface to a second instrument to be played together.

And the chance to split the keyboard in two, sellecting the area size that will be used for each one.  This would allow to use one instrument for one hand, and another for the other hand.

I have Logic 8 and I can´t get this to work properly... But If you open a software instrument channel and open Pianoteq with multi output 5xmono then you can click a little "+" button at the bottom of mixer channel. If you do that there will open a aux channel, and then do it 3 times  more and you have 1 software channel and 4 aux channels that should send the right mic.... But.... it doesn't work that way for me :-( ... The software channel receive mic 1 and 5, the first aux don't receive anything, the 2:nd aux receive mic 2, the 3:rd aux mic 3 and the 4:th aux receive mic 3.... And thats not right (i guess...). But the other options (1xstereo and 3xmono, and 3xstereo) work fine...

I hope it works better in Logic 9...

ok .... what i found is the 5 mono output option that logic shows for pianoteq doesn't seem to work in logic 9. best i can tell, it SHOULD work by adding aux channels. channels1, 3, 4, and 5 are ok. but ch. 2 isn't there.

but there's also an option for 1 stereo pair and 3 mono channels. that does work. all 5 pianoteq outputs are present.

so ...

As I don't have Logic, I can't say if what you see is a problem with the Pianoteq AU plugin or not. I tried multi-channel audio in Sonar just now, and that works as expected: I get 5 channels in X3, one for each in PTQ, and they seem to work properly. I assume you have checked the sound recording settings in Pianoteq to make sure that the assignment of mikes to channels is as you want it (i.e., check the mix table)?

At least I don't know of any other possibility rather than the mix table in the recording settings. Actually this is exactly what you describe, the assignment and mixing of microphones to channels, so another function would be redundant?

Might it be that Logic treats the first two channels differently? I.e., you cannot just split the sterephonic output to be channels 1&2? As I said, I don't really know Logic; in other DAWs like Sonar or Reaper a stereo track really is just two mono channels bundled together, but maybe this is somehow different either in Logic or in the AU plugin interface. Any Logic experts here?

nothing.. I've been trying for a week now, and nothing would work..
It made me even wonder if we might get phase issues with mic placement?
