i dont know how to get it to work properly, i got it to "kinda" work for my external synths by making another midi-instrument in the enviroment window and experimented with that, but the signal still blend together so i cant play on the ms20m while someone else is hammering on the maschine. would also love a solution to this http://soundcloud.com/korvador

You need to connect the external instruments or controllers to different midi ports.
For the external instruments on Logic 9, you need to create a new "midi instrument" on the "environment window" (cmd+8), then select it and on the left you need to assign a midi port to it, you can also select the channel (or make a multi-instrument 1-16 channels).
On Logic X it's even made easier, because you can select "external instrument" when you're creating a new track, but now there's the option to open the "external instrument plug-in", where you can select the midi port the instrument's connect to, plus the audio channels it's streaming it's output to and you're done.
Granted every controller/instrument is rightly configured, this works flawlessly and no Midi bleeding between them - unless you want to.
is it possible to make it? Of course it is! It's been possible since version 1, orchestrating external instruments and recording audio to disk was how this "computer music" thing started in a time where software instruments were more an idea then a reality.
