Routing of VST instruments using the VSTi
manager.
There are many flexible methods for routing instrument signals.
As described in the previous paragraph, an instrument can be fed from several MIDI
tracks, and the outputs of an instrument can also be sent to several tracks.
Routing instrument outputs
Instrument outputs can be easily routed in the VSTi manager. Open the VST instrument to view the
individual outputs and right click on "Output to track"
.
Now search for the track which should be fed the corresponding individual output. The assigned output
then appears in the plug-in slot of the target track.
Alternatively, you can also route directly to the track box of the arranger:
To play the output of an already loaded (or installed) instrument on a specific track, right click on the
record button
of the track, go to "Instrument outputs" and select the output of an instrument available in the project you
want to sound on this track by adding a check. Several outputs of an instrument can also be used
simultaneously in one track. You can even combine the outputs of several different instruments into one
track.
Deactivating the instrument outputs works the same way. Remove the instrument output by removing the
check in front of the corresponding output in the "Instrument output" submenu.
Please note that you can also use the entire routing options of the mix engine. You can route any track
containing the return of any instrument to any bus, AUX bus, or master.
Route MIDI instrument inputs
Nearly all software instruments require MIDI
data in order to be heard. To route the MIDI input onto a specific track which contains the MIDI data,
click the VSTi button in the track editor of the corresponding track and select the instrument from the
"Out" slot which you wish to activate. Already loaded instruments are mentioned in this list.
To open a completely new instance of an instrument which works independently of already existing
instruments within the project, select its name from the "New instrument" submenu. Multiple instances of
the same VST plug-in can be noted from the count (index) in front of the name of software instruments.
