Logic’s Environment, a modular layer in the program for creating custom configurations, isn’t well known to many Logic users. But if you can get used to its slightly unusual interface, it’s capable of some really powerful stuff. You know, important music stuff. Like connecting Logic to your Nintendo NES game system.

The MIDINES evironment was created based on this chart:
http://www.wayfar.net/0xf00000_midi_chart.phpThe environment allows for control of the 5 channels of synth/audio that the NES [supports]
Here are the 5 parts:
1-2 – Pulse Synthesizer waves
3-4 – Triangle/Square waves
5- sample channelSince this is also my primary template for a Logic session there are other goodies I left in there:
1. NYC compression bus channel
2. 3 bus channels that I got from Hybrid (electronic group) for simple drum processing
3. MPC groove templates taken from an MPC 60
4. Ableton Live and Reason ReWire objects
There you have it: Logic + NES + MPC + Live + Reason. If that’s not a digital dream studio, I don’t know what is.
In case you want to give this file a look:
MIDINES.zip
That’s the MIDINES, Logic 8 file (if anyone has a MIDINES but Logic 7, let us know and we can share the Logic 7 file.)
