The Plug-in menu offers additional information about an output configuration. As
examples:

 Instrument Name: Multi Output (2 x stereo, 4 x mono)
 Instrument Name: Multi Output (4 x stereo)

Note: Not all instruments (Logic Pro or third-party) are multi-output capable. If the
instrument does not provide a Multi Output option, it is not equipped with multiple
output facilities.

To insert and set up a multi output instrument:

1

Choose the desired multi output instance in the Plug-in menu.

 The first two outputs of a multi output instrument are always played back as a stereo

pair by the instrument channel that the plug-in is inserted into.

 Additional outputs (3 and 4, 5 and 6, and so on) are accessed via aux channel strips.

Within the instrument interface, you will need to set up the output routing for
individual sounds or samples. This is generally done via a menu, that shows entries
such as: Main, 3-4, 5-6, and so on.
