Instruments with multi-channel outputs
The number of available individual outputs generally depends on the
instrument where it also can be adjusted. Outputs can be available in
stereo and mono versions.
Two examples of typical handling of individual outputs:
Addressing an instrument on a MIDI channel and distributing
sounds over several tracks
This approach is ideal for all drum samplers if you want to address an
entire drum set, but prefer to mix and edit the drum sounds
individually.
Addressing an instrument on several MIDI channels
Several MIDI tracks are typically used for so-called multi-timbral
synthesizers which can play several sounds on different MIDI
channels simultaneously, whereby each addresses a specific sound
program (part) on a specified MIDI channel. This also has the
advantage that such instruments only require one instance of the
plug-in for several sounds. Multi-timbral software instruments often
have separate audio outputs. Please remember to route the individual
parts to the desired outputs within the VST instrument (panel).
Distributing sounds on multiple single tracks
This approach, for example, is ideal for all drum samplers if you want
to address an entire drum set, but prefer to mix and edit the drum
sounds individually.
