rout the lowest note of a chord to separate midi channel or instrument strip

I am trying to enter some musical chords, and I want to send the lowest note of the chord to a different/separate MIDI channel or instrument channel strip. I want to do this both in Logic Pro and in Mainstage, so I imagine it would work similarly in both apps.

How do I map session player guitar loops to follow chord progressions in Logic Pro when choosing a session player ( guitar ) loop and adding it into my project I find that although I can change the pitch of the loop to be in the main key of my tune I can't ( or don't know how to ) actually have the loop modulate to follow the chord progression of the tune . Is there some way I can map the loop to change pitch to follow. and be with the chords . hope I've explained myself here [Re-Titled by Moderator]

inputting chord track from a midi region Has anyone figured out if there is a way to automatically input chord track progressions from a midi region with block chords. I know by setting internal midi in to a track and playing it back with midi in selected on the chord editor you can partially automate this but you have to keep hitting tab to advance to the next chord otherwise it just overwrites the current one. this is both time consuming and prone to error. Ideally (if you are listening, Apple) you could just play the midi region and it would place the chords automatically.

Exporting MIDI Files for Customized Sections I'm currently working on a Karaoke App with a friend. My role entails creating MIDI files using Logic Pro, while my friend is responsible for converting the MIDI files to JSON format and linking them to Apple Music. Since Apple Music's audio cannot be modified, my MIDI files need to synchronize with the audio tracks provided by Apple Music. However, most Apple Music tracks have a few seconds of silence before the song begins, and when I import them into Logic Pro, I must align the song with the project tempo to ensure synchronization. This has led to the following issue: Using the song "Back to December" as an example, I align the first beat of the audio file with the first beat of the second measure in the metronome. Consequently, the starting position of the audio file is at 1 3 2 152. I hope that when exporting the MIDI file, it can also start at 1 3 2 152 to avoid any misalignment when importing into Apple Music. Despite trying various export methods and even attempting to mark the starting position using Sustain, I haven't been able to overcome this challenge. The exported MIDI files still start at the default position of 1 1 1 1 according to the project. Could you please suggest a solution to resolve this issue? I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help! (Logic Pro 10.7.7 / MacBook Pro Ventura 13.3.1a )

Thanks, I already knew about those options. I'm looking for a realtime solution but don't know how to use scriptor. I don't know the scripting language. I can't find any scripts that would do the job or are even close.

Practically speaking, why don't you use 2 separate software instruments (with the same patch/preset) to accomplish the job? You can create a key limit for both instrument tracks within the Track Inspector and so long as they are record armed, you should be good to go.

Hope this helps,
