Logic 4.1.1 still has no support for selecting which MIDI channels are routed to which audio channels for passing to the DS2416. If this proves to be the case then this may be fixed for DS2416 mode in a near-future update. At this moment it looks like you will need to be in PCAV mode if you want to use the new audio instrument object necessary for having a ReWire compatible sofware synthesizer on a Logic Track. You can also easily switch from using Logic in the DS2416 mode to its standard mode where most of its higher functions are missing but you can now use as many DirectX Plugins as your system can handle. There is a wealth of very good audio processing algorithms built into the DS2416 and they are all done in hardware so not only will they probably sound better than your DirectX Plugins but they won't suffer from stuttering or crashing and you can use more of them at the same time without needing to own the fastest computer on the market. This is a welcome update because the DS2416 mode in Logic offers one of the easiest ways to access the features of the DSP Factory. Before this version you could not use DirectX plugins in this mode so if you have not yet upgraded here is a good reason to do so.
Logic 4.1.1 totally replaces its software mixing with the hardware mixing (and other functions) of the DS2416 so, if you want to get the full functionality of the DS2416 in Logic 4.1.1 you will have a few restrictions on the number of plugins you can use but thanks to the 4.0.4 upgrade you can use 4 DirectX plugins on each DSP Factory channel even when operating in DS2416 mode. If you need to jump in quickly but don't want to get stuck with a dog of a sequencer you will need to quickly trash then Musicator is the program for you. Probably the best compromise I have seen between power and ease of use.
