I just learned that the default Pan knob on tracks in Logic is actually a volume cut on one channel, so it doesn't sound quite right.

I thought that you could switch to "real" panning by holding option and clicking the pan knob to change the settings, but that didn't work for me yesterday. And I can't find the Reddit post where people were talking about it a week or two ago...

I did figure out how to hook up both my synths, and control them both with one keyboard so I could record in unison with different patches... and it is VERY cool... the Blofeld is great at soundscapes and big wide sweeping-ness, and the Bass Station II is great at leads and arpeggio tones... so I can hold down a key or a chord on the Bass Station, and the Blofeld will create this minutes-long Blade Runner-esque soundscape, while the Bass Station is doing a randomized arpeggio of the chord, to create a melody line over the sweeping doom-synth pads...

It's pretty incredible.
