syncing logic and protools

[themaestro]

i've abandoned my mpc 2500 in favor of logic 8/battery!!!.

this is my new setup. 2.3 gig macbook pro running logic 8/battery>>m-audio firewire 1814, clocked by apogee ad16x(sounds and works waaaay better than i expected from m-audio)>>api 3124>>apogee ad16x/pthd.

the m-audio piece is midi'd to my motif xs so i can sequence and edit it, but the board's playback is running thru the api and apogee as well...

here's my dilemma......
I want to sequence my motif along with my logic insts/drums and record it all into protools, i don't want to record audio in logic just yet, nor bounce my individual tracks from the logic mixer and import them. i need to find a way to sync the record function of protools with the playback function of logic

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

thanks for the advice, i'm checking into that right now, can it be sent via usb? i don't have any more midi ports on my firewire 1814, the usb midi connect between my motif xs and logic caused some pretty crazy feedback, so i had to use the only midi i/o i had available

looks like my usb cables only run one way, so i'm gonna need a midi interface to really get some more ports working! i had big plans for the iac thing!!
