Routing VST instruments using the VSTi manager
There are many flexible methods for signal routing of instruments.
As described in the previous paragraph, an instrument may be fed from several MIDI
tracks, and the outputs of an instrument may also be sent to several tracks.
Routing instrument outputs
Instrument outputs may be easily routed by using the VSTi manager. Simply open the VST
instrument to view the individual outputs, and then right click the "Output routing"
column.
Now search for the track to be fed the corresponding individual output. The assigned
output now appears in the target track's plug-in slot.
Alternatively, you may also route directly to the track box of the arranger:
To play the output of an already loaded (or instantiated) instrument on a specific track,
right click the record button for the track, go to "Instrument outputs", and select the
instrument output available in the project by placing a check mark. Several instrument
outputs may be used simultaneously in one track. The outputs of several different
instruments may even be combined 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 outputs"
submenu.
Note that the routing options of the mix engine may also be used. A track containing the
audio return of any instrument may be routed to any bus, AUX bus, or master.
Routing MIDI instrument inputs
Nearly all software instruments require MIDI data to be audible. To route the MIDI input to a
specific track that contains the MIDI data, click the VSTi button in the track editor for the
corresponding track, and then select the instrument in the "Out" slot that you want to
activate. Previously loaded instruments are also featured 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 are indicated by the number (index)
in front of the name of the software instrument.
