Operation Manual

58 Using Strum Session as a Plug-In
9.6 MIDI Channel
Make sure that the MIDI controller, sequencer and Strum Session all use the same MIDI channel.
If you are not certain of the channel used by your controller or sequencer, set the MIDI channel of
Strum Session to Omni.
9.7 MIDI program change
MIDI program changes are supported in the plug-in versions of Strum Session. When a MIDI
program change is received by the application, the current program used by the synthesis engine is
changed to that having the same number as that of the MIDI program change message.
9.8 Performance
Using a plug-in in a host sequencer requires CPU processing for both applications. The load on the
CPU is even higher when multiple instances of a plug-in or numerous different plug-ins are used.
To decrease CPU usage, remember that you can use the freeze of bounce to track functions of the
host sequencer in order to render to audio the part played by a plug-in instead of recalculating it
every time it is played.
