# Playing it on a software or hardware synthesizer

- Ask an LLM to list MIDI outputs - `Which MIDI outputs are available?`
  - It may tell you that you have `Logic Pro`
- Then ask to play it on logic pro and assign channels: e.g.:

```
Play in on Logic Pro and route the tracks to the following channels:

- Piano - channel 0
- Sax - channel 1
- Drums - channel 2

```
