I would like to, using Logic, route audio from an hardware synthesizer (Moog Sub 37) into the effects section of another hardware synth (Teenage Engineering OP-1), while recording the MIDI data.

I've figured how to do all the above, minus the MIDI portion, by simply connecting the output of the Moog into the input of the OP-1, and then recording it in Logic as an Audio Track. If I'd like to record the MIDI data too, I presume I would need to use the External Instrument plugin, which I'm new to.

I've included screenshots of how I have it set up at the moment, the result of some googling and guesswork, in case I have some portions right, making it easier for you guys to explain what to do. The tracks set up: the one labeled "Sub 37 to OP-1 FX" is where I'm attempting to route the Moog signal to the OP-1 and the one labeled "OP-1" is where I'm guessing the audio should output with the effects, the end destination.

Also included is a second set of screenshots where I take different approach at setting it up. I have an External Instrument and I/O plugin assigned to my Sub 37 and OP-1's separate tracks, respectively, but without all the Send/Bus configurations from the first approach.

Info on my setup. Both of my synths are connected via USB to my Mac. The Moog is connected to input 3 of my audio interface and the OP-1 to inputs 1 & 2 (as its effects are stereo). Audio Interface's Output 1 & 2 are connected to my amplifier.

Thank you for any assistance.
