Inserting soft synths

Software instruments

Two things happen: the soft synth’s interface appears, and the soft synth’s name appears in the

track’s or bus’s effects bin, with a Bypass button next to the name.

3. Set the soft synth’s parameters (choose sounds, effects, etc.), and drag its interface out of the

way.

4. Click the Output field of a MIDI track to display the Output menu.

5. Select the name of the soft synth that you patched into the audio track or bus.

6. If the soft synth is multi-timbral, choose a MIDI channel for the MIDI track.

7. Also in the MIDI track, select a bank and patch.

Now you can record some MIDI data into the MIDI track to play the soft synth with. See “To play a

soft synth with recorded MIDI data” on page 811.

You can also play the soft synth in real-time from a MIDI controller. See “To play a soft synth from a

MIDI controller” on page 811.
